After a season of riding/racing on the new XT Hollowtech II crankset, it is time to replace the rings. Do I stick with the Shimanos or switch to something else? Any suggestions would help. Thanks.
 
shimano's dont seem to wear as well as they did years ago. Raceface is a great option.
Best bet on shimano rings last I looked was at bikeman.com (I'd tink about getting the deore steel mid ring for longevity).

Try the MC 20s?

I usually buy the sub-deore crankset (MC 20) for about $25-$30 and then just swap the rings. They are all steel so should wear fairly well. I think the only size they come in is 22-32-42.

Boone Ti Rings will prolly outlast your whole dang bike.
