Hi all,

I've just got a hold of a rotor 3d+ chainset. Looks awesome in the new graphics.
I really don't fancy a set of qrings and the noq rings are two tone and I'd rather have all black. My question is do I get a pair of sram red black chainrings or for an extra £30 do I go for a pair of praxis rings?
I'm looking for good shifting, stiffness and looks! Fwiw they are going on a 2012 cervelo r3 team.

Thoughts please!

Cheers
Ross

    Stiffness and Red chainrings are not a common combination of words - SRAM chainrings are notoriously soft

    Praxis, no question. Closest to DA chainrings you can get.

    Praxis are sooooo much better than the Red ones.

    Slight hijack sorry but are praxis worth buying just for the upgrade or when the old ones are worn out?

    IMO they are worth the upgrade.

    I'd stick with the Rotor rings, super stiff IMHO
    I'm sorry you don't believe in miracles

    My Rotor Aero rings aren't as stiff as my Praxis. Even if they were they still wouldn't shift nearly as well.
