  1. I was wondering if anyone could tell me whether there is any difference in
    quality/durability between a 52t track (1/8"😉 FSA ring versus a
    Dura-Ace/Campy ring. I'm looking for this to be my main pursuit racing
    gear (with a 14t). I've only had DA stuff on my track bike. Also can
    anyone suggest a good place to buy those rings? Thanks for any help.

    FSA's track 'rings retail for less than half the cost of Record Pista
    or Dura-Ace track models. For the difference in price, one can expect
    the premium models to generally offer somewhat greater accuracy in
    lateral and concentric runout, more sophisticated tooth profiles to
    facilitate smooth chain engagement together with better wear
    associated with a harder alloy. I regard the FSA track 'rings to offer
    solid value; you will need to determine for yourself if the
    enhancements in other models justifies the cost difference for your
    specific application.

    Our website includes a comprehensive catalogue of track equipment. At
    this writing, in the size/format you seek (52t, 3mm wide, for cranks
    with 144 pcd), we have no fewer than five discrete options (Record
    Pista, Dura-Ace, Sugino Zen, Sugino 75, FSA), all of which are in
    stock. Take the scenic route through the site from the URL in the
    signature lines below or go direct to the apposite page here:
    http://www.businesscycles.com/trcomp.htm, then "chainrings".
