And since it sounds like you can DIY them, then it's a quick change if you have the parts on your shelf. So yes try out one of the bigger rings. You might find that buying the entire crankset new and selling the bare crank on ebay a better deal than buying just the rings.
To be clear, I’ve never changed a crankset, but doesn’t look too challenging given that parts should be plug and play! Famous last words I suppose.
I will plan to keep my existing rings, so no issue there. Interesting thought about buying the whole set. Didn’t see any comparable cranks for sale on EBay. The rings alone are $160 and full crankset is $325. These are the Praxis Zaynate Carbons. Any idea what some carbon cranks are worth “used”?
