Anyone try the FSA ChainRings? How are they? I saw some at a local shop they look nice and they have machined out a lot of the excess material. None of the guys at the shop tried them out yet.

I've been using them for about 5 months now and they work good,i had problems at first but the guys on the board convinced me that it was nothing to do with fsa quality it was the simple fact that i didn't notice a stone or rock hitting the big ring teeth and bending one tooth (I thought it was the metal that was too soft but i was wrong)they shift really good i would say on a par with xtr,i would not hesitate in recomending the chainrings or even the carbon pro chainset.
They're nice - great shiftingpedalAZ

Had them on my RacerX for quite a while. Went to new cranks and rings to save weight, but the new setup isn't as smooth.
Been using them for over a year now...kid4lyf

and recently wore out the middle ring. They are the only rings that shift as good or better than my old Real rings. Upshifts are automatic. (Downshifts are easy with anything)

I used mine all season and I love my chainrings and the carbon cranks that came with them. Shifting performance is great.

the inner chainring wears out faster due to it being smaller. It is aluminum like the others but the small diameter makes it wear somewhat faster. It is still a good ring. When it wears out replace it with a titanium one from cycledynamics@telus.net
identical to Race Facebs

FSA rings are identical to Race Face. I suspect the same company makes them for both FSA and Race Face. They chainsuck when new but get better when broken in. I personally found Truvativ rings to be better and cheaper (but they are available 4 arm only).
