A feedback re: the new Aero Goldix chainrings. I ordered these Goldix 50/34, Stone 50/34 and Passquest 46/33 simultaneously and were all delivered same day (last Sunday).
The Goldix rings are cheapest at $33~ but also the worst quality. I can flex it with little effort.

Stone and Passquest on the other hand are extremely stiff and wouldn't flex at all. They are also more than double the cost of Goldix. I expect Goldix to wear out much faster and shifting to be subpar. The only saving grace is they look great!

btw how good are magene chain rings compared to shimano (105). I have the 105s on now... If the Goldix are more or less bad and PQ and S are double the Shimano/Magene... What do you guys recommend?

Glad to know. I was super tempted to pick up those Goldix chainrings as a backup to my Shimano chainrings, but sounds like they're not up to par.

They definitely are not. Took out the 105 chainrings to replace with these. There is no flex in 105. Another thing that I noticed is the small chainring has teeth profile very similar to 1x narrow-wide chainrings. Wonder what will happen when I shift out of it.

I use Stone chainrings and they work as good as my dura Ace chsinrings. Can't get better then that imo

I got the Goldix aero chainrings in 54/40 and I'm pretty pleased with mine. Front shifting is fine on my Ultegra 12 speed Di2; needed to make a lot of adjustments vs the stock rings but very easy to do in the app. I haven't noticed flex particularly - I'm not a mega power sprinter but I have used them on a couple of hilly TTs which required me to front shift under load.
They are pretty heavy (especially with spider) so looking elsewhere for a 52/36 set up for use in mountains on my Leese carbon crankset, but they will do me fine for my flatlands set up.

hello, someone has suggestion for wheel stickers for mtb 29" wheels? Just to have more protection on a new carbon chinese wheelset.
Thanks
