I had a set on my Ciocc and changed it out for a mirage compact 34-50. Did you convert the 110 so you could go compact or just to get some rings. The idea seems great, I'm a garage machinist myself. Looking at the pictures you need to add the counterset so the bolts sit flush. Have you used them yet? I would ask if they flex as a portion of strength went with the lower portion that you cut off. I have never seen a chainring break but I have seen a couple get bent. Wondering how this would hold up in the long term.
