I realized I've got 10k+ miles on my Praxis chainrings with no issues thus far. Just wondering how many miles others have gotten out of theirs? I live in SoCal, so no real weather issues for the drivetrain. I upgraded from 10-speed to 11-speed so things might be more sensitive now. Thanks!

I have 12,000-15,000 on mine. they have been used in snow, hail, rain, sleet, and so forth... They look fine to me so far, the only reason I am taking them of is I want aero 52/36 rings.

Maybe 7-8k on mine, have ridden them in torrential rain, extreme humidity and heat. No problems at all, but are chainrings a component that develop issues?

I have about 30,000k's (18,000 miles) on a set of rotor q rings which is still going strong. I have no idea how people wear out chainrings regularly.

This thread is very encouraging!! I've barely got 2000 miles on mine, and I'm very happy they're gonna last a lot longer!!

Now, if Praxis would start making rings for the SRAM hidden bolt cranks, I'd really be happy!! Stock SRAM rings don't last nearly as long as like them to!!

I was quite disappointed when I wore out my little ring last year. Then I looked at my training log and realised I'd done 19,000km since getting them and didn't feel so bad.

My 53/37T Praxis rings have served me since 2007 (they were production prototypes). I've logged countless miles on them that surely exceed 10K miles. Our double that. Or even triple that. Or probably more...

No one knows how many km I rode on them but they are still in great shape and I'm guess that must be due the rings being forged.

Easy, their chains are filthy and they cross-chain like a mofo. Seen it all too ofen.
