Chainrings

blablablacksheep

Looking to get chainring for Cyclecross build, gearing wise have a 10-28 cassette and a compact chainset 34 inner.

Question ;Im thinking a 46t chainring to use(commuting should also work this this)?

But which one. TA 110 PCD Zephyr Outer

Or a
FSA super record outer one?
Both are £44
Cheers

I'd go with the TA myself. Used them for years - they're beautifully made and last well.

Are the TA brand ones lighter & do they last twice as long as stronglights?

As above - they last really well, shift well and are hard to fault.

The Stronglight Durals actually don't last so long - probably less than half as long as the TA rings mentioned. The equivalent Stronglights to the TA rings are Zicral. On my tourer I have triple chainrings - the outer two Zicral and the inner Dural which I hardly use.

Spa cycles sell a lot of Stronlight and TA rings - the advice they gave me is go for the ones you like the look of most! The function, assuming comparing like for like, is similar.

Or you could get the Shimano 105 CX50 Cyclocross Double 10sp Chainset 46/36t from Chain Reaction for £63.99.
