Replacement 105 chainring recommendations

k-dog

I need a new chainring for my 105 compact chainset (pretty sure it's 5650 - 10 speed).

I've seen a few but wondered if anyone had any experience with them.

I've also got a £40 Amazon voucher so would like to spend the money there - just trying to work out what it's best to buy with that (got a shopping list of other things I can get too).

These are cheap - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007 ... d_i=468294

These are slightly more - is Zircal worth the difference? - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Stronglight-Cha ... 4&sr=1-165

These look cool but are a lot more expensive - http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Mode ... elID=69023

This is the original - http://www.evanscycles.com/products/shi ... g-ec030118

This one is just labelled Shimano - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Shimano-Y1H8340 ... 07&sr=1-80

Is there anything I'm missing and does anyone have experience of these.



Thanks.

Zicral are definitely better than the Dural version. They are much harder wearing.

Spa are not showing stock of 50 tooth rings at the moment but may be worth a call. Good price.

I would use TA rings myself if you are looking at aftermarket.

TA are brilliant rings and also look the part, not cheap though. Stronglight in Zicral are a very good second best if you want to go cheaper. I've used both for cyclo-cross bikes and both stand up well to the rigours of a few seasons' off-road racing, so ought to serve you well on the tarmac!

Both TA and Stronglight in stock at Ribble... I agree the 7075 alloy is the better

Thanks, can't see a TA one on Ribble though - only 130mm bcd not 110.

TA do 110mm 5 arm BCD rings. I have some on the self!
