subject header say it all...

looking for light, unique, but very functional (as good as, or as close to, oem performance) chainrings to go on a sram red crank spider.

am running sram red drivetrain also.

would appreciate any recommendations.

thanks!

I am running Stronglight 53t with a FSA 38t and it works fine.
I would not say better performance but not any worse either. I think it added about 4g.
I do think it looks better

Compact or racing double?

If you want compact I have a set of Extralite grey ones which would look really good, or a set of Cannondale rings off of a Mark V (2010) Si SL chainset - both sets are brand new and never been mounted.

Personally I'd go with something all black like the Stronglight CT2, but I'm purely basing this on looks...

sorry, i should have added that this is for a regular 130 bcd spider. 39/53 rings.

you guys like the extralite and/or stronglight ct2's though? happy with 'em? last a decent amount of time and work well?

A colleague of mine had some extralight and the teeth felt like butter and some aluminium came out with the use. I use CT2 from Stronglight, i like the looks and for me this is a top notch part, it lasts forever and reduces the sound of the chain...and most of all it shifts flawlessly!

thanks. sram: the less you use, the better it works! should be their advertising slogan....

I really like Stronglight rings as well.

would any of you guys mind posting a pic of your setup when you have a chance? am curious to see how it looks. thanks!

I have been using Stronglight Rings since the late 80's. Even then they were the best. I have used them for years on tri bikes as the larger ring size for customers, no shifting issues and they are stiff!!

Go Stronglight.

I wet sanded the paint off of the cranks...sram red
