Most of mine were Rocket Rings', too. The one you can see in the pics (with notches visible) is a Vuelta. So far, seems to fare worse than the RRs.
Thanks, by the way, for helping me in not feeling like the weird guy in the thread, and that there are others who can notch an alloy chainring in less than a thousand miles.
