Hi, I need to replace the chainrings on my Dura-Ace 7700 cranks (9-speed, if
that matters), and I'm wondering, how well do the FSAs shift? I see they
have pins and ramps; do they work as well as the Dura-Ace rings, or should I
spend the $$ on the OEM gear?

Unfortunately, you will find no better-shifting chainring than Shimano. Ever
since the "STX" debacle (truly horrible mountain bike crankset that
redefined chain-suck), Shimano's been devoting a lot of effort to perfecting
chainring technology. The result is better shifting, with the downside being
noisier drivetrains and (usually) faster wear.

I'm happy with mine. I've put over 50,000 km on them without any
problems.

shimano rings work the best, followed by TA rings, IMO..FSA rings are
some of the softest I have encountered.
