Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

If you cannot find the right rings at a reasonable price, you can buy standard ones and file enough off the tabs to clear the shoulders. You'll lose the benefits of the shoulders, which help keep rings concentric and prevent the bolts from working loose, but many cranks these days don't have the shoulders and they work reasonably OK.
