FSAFSA Pro Road N10 130BCD Chainring - Black, 130 x 38t

Working good

I had a 2010 model road bike that came with a FSA Gossamer 50-34 crankset. I have not been using the big chainring very often. Thus, I decided to swap the 50 chainring with 46 together with swapping 11-25 cassette with a 12-28. Cheaper than replacing the entire crankset. The chainring is genuine, came in the original packaging. It is almost impossible to find a 46T chainring with 5 rivets anymore.

Wish it came with new bolts too but this was a direct replacement for my very worn original. My old roadie is now shifting and sounding great which means silence while i am grinding away. No chain noise. No rattles. Overdue. Works and looks great.

A good "Standard" Chainring, looks good, stiff, shifts well, not overly heavy. Fits any standard 110 BCD 5 hole cankset like my Quarq/Sram crankset.

Replacement for one with 28000 miles on it. Installation is a piece of cake.

I like these chainrings for my non-Shimano drive trains. These rings are solid and wear well. They match the FSA and SRAM colors and style, so they do not look out of place. The 110BCD is well machined and mates well to the FSA cranks. Will definitely purchase again.

I’ve ridden less than 150 miles since replacing the big ring and the teeth are already worn down significantly. This seems very odd because my last FSA big ring lasted me 7 years and this one is unacceptably worn down after less than 7 months. I noticed this issue when my chain continuously was slipping as I shifted when going uphill and fell off a few times when I was shifting.

This outer chainring is a replacement for a 50T FSA ring whose shift ramps had worn to the point that shifting was very difficult. I should have replaced it earlier because the excessive force required from the front derailleur to shift the chain onto this chainring broke that derailleur. Now that I understand better how the machined reliefs on the chainring cause the chain to climb onto the outer ring I will be more observant of wear and even more careful to shift under minimal load. Tooth wear on the chainring was not an issue.This chainring has an extra pin that prevents a dropped chain from getting caught between the chainring and the pedal crank, a useful feature that its predecessor did not have.
