Chainrings: Stronglight CT2, Praxis Works or Rotor

DKay

I need to buy a set of compact chainrings for some Rotor 3D cranks for my new build and I'm currently undecided on what to go for. The Stronglight CT2s get good feedback for a reasonable price, but is there anything to be gained in performance and durability by paying the extra for Praxis Works or Rotor's own chainrings?

Cheers in advance.

Praxis rings have a very good reputation. They also look great but can be a pain to find them in stock of you want compact rings. All three are good options.
I'd recommend getting some decent chainring bolts as the rotor ones are very soft.

Do you recommend any particular chainring bolts? I was just gonna buy some generic stainless steel ones.

Praxis, no question. Only rings I've used that shift as well as Dura Ace.

Good job I ordered some this morning then.

Can you get them singly, and where do you get them from?

I got mine from Freeborn. http://www.freeborn.co.uk/brands/praxis-works

Don't know of you can buy them individually, but it's worth asking.

I'm getting mine through Westbrooks as part of my new build. I want compacts, which they need to order in. I've not seen anywhere selling them individually.
