What customers say
Praxisworks Forged Chainring Sets earn high praise from road and gravel cyclists, primarily for their exceptional durability and robust construction. Riders consistently report that these chainrings withstand significant mileage and harsh conditions, outlasting lesser quality alternatives. Performance is another key highlight; users note smooth, precise, and reliable gear changes, even when shifting under load. This consistent performance builds rider confidence across varied terrain. While the initial cost is sometimes noted as premium, the consensus is that the investment delivers excellent long term value due to superior lifespan and unwavering quality. They are viewed as reliable workhorses that significantly enhance the riding experience.
Know before you buy
Forging aligns the grain structure of the metal, resulting in significantly higher strength and stiffness compared to standard CNC-machined rings. This ensures less flex under heavy pedaling loads, which translates to more efficient power transfer.
You need to measure the distance between the centers of two adjacent chainring bolts. For a 110mm BCD, the distance between the centers of two adjacent holes is approximately 64.7mm. Always verify your specific crank model's specifications before purchasing.
For climbing-heavy routes, a 48/32 or 46/36 setup provides lower gearing to help you maintain a higher cadence on steep gradients. If you primarily ride on flat or rolling terrain, the 50/34 or 52/36 combinations offer higher top-end speeds.
These chainrings are designed to work with most standard 110 BCD cranksets. However, shifting performance can vary depending on your specific derailleur and chain combination, so ensure your drivetrain components are compatible with the tooth profile.
You will typically need a set of hex keys to remove your crankset and a chainring bolt tool to secure the rings. If you are not comfortable with drivetrain maintenance, we recommend having a professional mechanic perform the installation to ensure proper bolt torque.
