12 speed chainrings

The last piece of the puzzle (I hope) for the 2000ish Cannondale RT1000 to SRAM AXS 12 speed are the chainrings. Can you recommend some chainrings? I知 using the DaVinci cranksets with 110bcd. Looking for 48/34t. If it helps, the cassette is the SRAM 10-36 12 speed.

I知 struggling to find 12 speed chainrings. Anyone using 11 speed rings? I have heard that Praxis 11 rings will work with 12.

Thanks for your recommendations and feedback

I'm essentially in your situation, though I haven't put the new components on. Unfortunately it's a little more complicated than just "12 speed" chainrings because the SRAM flattop chain is slightly different, so you are really looking for 12 speed flattop compatible chainrings. But, when I looked into this a few months ago, there were a lot of suggestions that the difference with flattop was not that big of a deal, and I've generally in the past used rings that were theoretically for wider chains that I was using. My conclusion was that that, if I ever get the bike built up, I am just going to go with the older rings that I had and then chain if they didn't work out. Praxis does have some 110 BCD rings that they say are 12 speed and flattop compatible, but they don't have a 48x34 combo.

Kmc

Thanks for your response.

Running the KMC 12 chain has been suggested to me as it is apparently more forgiving. Currently, I知 looking at the Absoluteblack and the Rotor chainrings. These appear to fit my criteria but are oval. I have no experience with oval but I have seen that the oval dose not appear to cause any issues, meaning my wife will probably never notice they are oval until she actually looks at the bike.

I have also seen that the carbon-ti chainrings may have the right fit as well. Either way, I may order a couple of them in case I have a hard time finding the correct rings the next time.
