So get this. I went with Sram Red Cranks/chainrings for my new bike. The red chain rings are lighter=weaker and I can flex them because of my power. When I flex them, I'm usually in my 53x13,12,11 and the chain falls off to the inside and I almost flip off the bike. I've got several injuries and I've lost a lot of confidence in the Sram Red gear. For last Saturday, I tried to do 5 sprints but was only able to do 4.
Anyway, I put my Rival rings on for the race this weekend. I never had that problem with the Rival rings/cranks. Sram had production issues with my run of chainrings. They are going to send me their new Red "Sprinter" chain rings as well as a new chain to replace the bad run I have......
I just want it to be right. I want to stress about me not being fit enough. If I lose a race I want to lose it on my own terms. Psychologically, I'm going to do the races, but I'm not 100% into it. I'm going to do them because I've already paid for them. Without the bike being complete, I can't trust it. Does that even make sense? Maybe I'm thinking too much into it.
