Are Potenza chain rings compatible with Chorus Arms?
So I'm putting my old silver chorus group on my 20 year old Atlanta. I also just sprained my ACL again so I want easier gears. I'm toying with the idea of a silver Potenza cranks with the chorus group, or maybe some silver Potenza or Centaur 11 rings on a Chorus 4 arm crank/ Would that work? I always liked the way my Chorus 10 carbon cranks looked with the shiny silver rings. Thanks!

As long as the rings and crank are both ‘4 arm’ and not like the one pictured...’4 arm with 5th behind crank arm’, they will work.

Absolutely, 4 arm. Some of the 10 speed centaur cranks weren't compatible with record rings hence my query. Thanks!

That was more a problem with holes in the crank arm spiders and crank arm bolts than chainrings.

The rings on centaur cranks were a different thickness (ultra-torque) not square taper.

No worries thanks! Hmmm it would be cheaper to buy a Potenza crank for the rings rather than a set of new record rings.
