I'm trying to find chainrings for a Campy crankset with a 144BCD!! Not all chainrings work because the chainring tabs on the campy crank are narrower than most causing a most ugly site if the chainring isn't made for a campy crank...SEE?!!

SEE HOW THE TAB IS WIDER?!! AHHHH!!! I'm going insane!

I know stronglight chainrings work, but I can't find those either. I've checked ebay and have found a couple but most are 135bcd. Anyone know where I can get these? puhhhlease help! Thanks!

That crank appears to be a later Gran Sport crank, it was designed to fit 144 bcd rings With the webbing, thats why on a chaining with the webbing cut out such appears as you have imaged...it looks like a mismatch. Nuovo record or Super Record while mechanicaly the same, have a wider spider arm. There may not be enough meat left on the ring if you file to match the spider arm. The resultant choice is using Rings with the central webbing, original style Record, G.S. or Sugino rings.

Sometimes one can buy a complete Record crankset for less $ than to buy the rings a la carte.

Galli is another brand (rebadged stronglight). You may possibly find that some Zeus, Ofmega or Gipiemme are 144BCD. Best bet IMO would be a bike shop that has been in business for 20yrs +.

Go after modern (sort of) gipiemme cranks. They still use 144 BCD. Like these:

The rings tabs seem to fit my Walia cranks (C-Record Knock-off). Sorry, I am to lazy to go to the other garage to check if they fit Strada Campy Super Record cranks, but I guess they fit.
BTW. The price of the complete crankset above with dust caps, bolts and 43 and 52 chainrings is around $35.

Sugino Mighty Competition cranks and Shimano Tourney (I think), as well as Gipiemme and Ofmega (not sure of the models) are 144 bcd cranksets and rings that bear some resemblance to Campagnolo NR & SR. None of these are going to be "cheap" unless you get lucky. Keep looking though, they're out there.
