Carbon Chain Rings

[Mr Haematocrit]

After replacing my entire crankset with carbon spiders, carbon cranks along with titanium and carbon look keo2 pedals. I though I was missing something, So now have a set of carbon chain rings coming.

They are made with areo space grade carbon and look quite nifty imho and ultimately they save weight and rotational mass.
Im curious regarding if anyone else has used carbon chain rings and their experience of them. Or any thoughts people have regarding them.

My thoughts are you and your bike combined weigh less than my right leg . They look pretty bad ass though you reckon they will suffer any more chain wear than a regular set of rings or not ?

Apparently the wear rate is slightly higher, but nothing excessive from what I have been told and they do have a guarantee.
I am more concerned about the shifting and if its possible to shear the teeth off, but only time will tell. Im hoping that the accurate shifting of Di2 ensures this does not happen though

You could always switch to Sram Red if you wanna save a few more grams Half a cassette is always lighter

More money then sense that boy
They do look very nice. Look forward to seeing them in the flesh so to speak...

Seriously?

IMO, there are certain things that look lame when made from carbon, chainrings are one of them!

No technical input!

 

[Mr Haematocrit]

Seriously?

Apparently so, the marketing documents for mugs says so, so it must be true

Personally I don't see what makes carbon weave so aesthetically pleasing? Shape and colour are more important.

I have more sense than money...... you obviously don't.

Want to trade

 

[Mr Haematocrit]

Finally got them fitted to the bike with carbon crank, spider and pedals

they look weird.

Like fake or sommat- a bit lego like is the best way i can describe how they look.

 

[Mr Haematocrit]

It's damn light and really quiet, I think metal rings must resonate slightly while carbon has sound dampening properties
