New chain ring ? Zen or noq ?

I'm looking for a new 55t chainring (144bcd) But what's the better one a sugino zen or a rotor noq ?

I can get a zen for £90 on Dolan bikes, can't seem to find a uk site selling noq chainrings ? Or does that tell me something ?

Cheers

NoQ only go up to 52t

You can buy 'em directly from Rotor.

They're both good enough that you won't notice the difference.

I've found them up to 56t on a site called bike24 or as you said direct from rotor I was wondering if any uk shops did them or if I could get a bargain !

I hope you do time trials

nah

I would trust rotor over bike24.

Nothing wrong with big rings, per-say

Omg what is that???? ^^^

Nope it's more a style and to push myself a little . I'm on 48:13 And I'd like to get a bit faster, plus noq and Zens look perdy dam sick

I have a 54zen literally brand new, if your interested, might be for sellz?

Hahah, you're going to ride 55:13?

48:13 is also quite ridiculous..

Noo. 55:15 to start as that is the equivalent , I get on fine with 48:13 it's a little hard on up hills but everywhere else it works well where I live

absolutely fine if you're only ever going downhill / only ride a velodrome

absolutely ridiculous on the street, and that's coming from someone on 80+ GI

Where I live it's quite flat and open road so no real issues with traffic ,hills ect

It's not about that.. here in the Netherlands it's also as flat as a pancake.. still we don't ride ridiculous ratio's (although, some do, not me). 48-13 is just ridiculous, no training at all if you ride your bike + you ruin your knees..

Yer I suppose your right ,I've never had any issues with my knees. So I've never thought about it .i just get out and ride maybe a 55:18 would be more optional if it means no knee damage

I think 48x13 sounds perfectly reasonable.

:)

or 50:18? Maybe even 48:18

I'd have guessed 48x13 was the higher of the two gears but I've just stuck it in a gear calc.....

They're both just below 100 gear inches.

55:18 is a decent gear - especially with no hills.

I run that for mooching around London and training, 100rpm is exactly 40kph

48x13
