I'm interested in the Praxis 36-46 'cross rings, not for cyclocross but for my road bike.

Web page



Weight? Applicability to road bike? (I post this on the 'cross forum since cyclocrossers are more likely to have used them)

Review of 48/36 set.

http://www.bikerumor.com/2011/12/05/praxis-works-chainring-review/

As you can see, there is a picture of the weight for the 48/36 combo (134g). 46/36 is probably about 10g lighter at a guess. I haven't found someone who has weighed them, but I haven't searched for a few months now as light bike is on back burner for now. I was going to run these rings on a red crankset, but the new 11 speed red cranksets actually are coming out with a 46/36 option And yep, I run this as my road combo. I find it is awesome for anyone who likes to spin gears instead of grind them. Combine them with a 11-23, and I reckon it's a perfect set of race gears as the jump from 46 to 36 requires only 1 additional downclick on the rear, effectively giving a smoother transition to 'the next gear' without a huge jump in rpm.

These are the notes off their website (with my additional info in brackets)

- Will mount to most any traditional 5-arm 110BCD road crank.
- Not compatible with Campy Compact BCD with hidden mount (not sure on this one, I think campy compact has one bolt at a different bcd?)
- Not marketed for '12 SRAM RED with hidden mount (but can be used if you can handle the chain pin being offset from the crank. i.e. your probably best to cut the pin off, example usage http://weightweenies.starbike.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=113632&hilit=red+crankset+weight )
- CHAIN - 9/10 & 11Sp Campy & Shimano

Oh yeah, if you do buy these, can you post up the weight for them to this thread.

Thanks,
