I'm not trying to be argumentative, I was just hoping maybe I could save a few bucks on consumables as the Vintage rings run around 25 bucks and the Praxis are over 100. It's been ordered and should be here tomorrow so this is a done issue. Moving on...
'The info you gave indicated you have a recent setup, with 4 arm non symmetrical bolt cranks, (NEVER SAID) as this is/has been the spec of recent/current 105 (5800 and R7000)'

I know you never said it, but what you wrote INDICATED you had this spec, as that is the design/spec of all CURRENT 105 2x11 and has been for a few generations now, as said (in different works) you gave no/very limited useful info when asking the original question, as it was misleading

Saying you have a '11 X 2 drive train (105)' indicates you have either a 5800 or R700 setup, and that you have no deviation it, now your saying you have 'I have a 5800 105 setup with a Praxis BB and 5 arm 110 BCD cranks' that's the info that should have been given in the first post, although still no info about the actual cranks you have.

None of this is being 'argumentative' it's about getting the correct info when asking a question, so people don't waste their time giving answers that turn out to be incorrect/bad due to incomplete/missing essential information,
