SRAM has 52/36 PowerGlide rings.. That's mid compact. They also has cx rings at 36/46

If you have 10 speed, get Praxis rings...

Hope you are joking. I've never seen him anything but helpful.

There is whoring for product that goes on here, but not by Charles.

I had a 2011 Tarmac Comp that came with a Sram S300 crank with their Red level grey colored 52/36 chainrings. The outer ring flexed a lot and I'm certainly not a power sprinter type. As soon as Praxis announced their 52/36 were available I ordered a set. A night and day difference. It was silly how much better and faster the bike shifted from inner to outer chain rings. Highly recommended. Gave the bike to my brother in law and moved the rings over to my Volagi Liscio.

I'm going to say something about this post.

I hope you're joking and that it's just lost in the translation. I enjoy Charles's input and clown comments like the one above are really uncalled for.

Try the Praxis rings.....they're the best out there. I was surprised at the discernible difference when I put them on.

No experience with Praxis rings, they sound great. However, I agree with the
wacky comment towards Charles M. I'm sure its a missed placed joke.

I use Red Yaw rings on an SRAM SRM. They shift fine with 7970 but not as crisp as 7900. I'm looking at going Praxis when I convert to 9070. They are very popular with racers around here that use Di2.

+1 for Praxis on SRAM. The Praxis are also 11spd compatible, we've used them on more then a few 11spd upgrades.

SRAM rings have always been a bit flexy, especially when making the jump to the big ring on a compact. If you spin a higher cadence its a non issue, but that's not always possible.

The Praxis rings just work better... A lot better than stock SRAM for 10 spd. Stiffer with good ramps. And they make a Mid Compact.

11 spd SRAM rings are not bad but the 10 moved too much. Grab a Yaw front mech along with the new rings and you won't even think you're riding the same bike...
