• Sub compact gravel chainsets, what is good/durable. I've managed to rinse two sets of praxis alba chainrings in 11,000km. Is there anything better/more durable for shit weather in the UK? Chain gets a cursory wipe down after every ride and changed on the reg but still managing to go through them rather quickly?

  • I’m thinking of moving from Alba to Ultegra with Absolute Black 48/32 rings for this reason. Haven’t done it yet as it’s a bit spendy but other option is Easton.

  • If you want to stick to a 30mm axle, Rotor aldhu or vegast w/ direct mount rings, White industries G30, FSA do some but they're all absolutely gopping

  • Get shimano GRX if you can ever find stock. Can always use some aftermarket options if they turn to be cheese.

  • Easton EA90/EC90 with 30/46 has been good to me so far for 3000 km. Never rains here though so can't comment on durable.

  • I've managed to rinse two sets of praxis alba chainrings in 11,000km.

    I've got more than that on my P2M gravel crank chainrings but I've not used them as much as my other stuff. 11k seems pretty shit for any chainring though.
