Go sugino or get a messenger chainring. Do not half step when it comes to your cycle. You will regret it in the end if you do.<br />
<br />
You dont have to be a track star to purchase a highend chainring. What you want is quality and durability, and depending on what your gear inches are going to be, you dont want to just throw any old<br />
chainring on your bike.<br />
<br />
Also what type of cog are you going to use in the rear?...The combination of cogs, chains and chainring, if they are cheap as hell, will make hell…

Thanks folks. I found a 144 bcd, 46 tooth chainring for $50 by a french company called TA. Sheldon Brown recommended this as about as good as campy chainrings for less than half the cost. I'm sure it'll do the job.

Actually, even top-line rings aren't perfectly round. You need to check chain tension by actually spinning the wheel and testing the chain as it goes 'round. Even my Campag and Suntour NJS rings are just slightly eliptical. You need to find that sweet spot between where the chain tightens and goes slack.<br />
<br />
Too tight and you get excessive wear and risk a chain ( or even chainring) break.<br />
<br />
Too loose and you may throw the chain on a bump (which is a big drag for all concerned...)<br />

If tensioning is properly done and your rings are anywhere near round the chain shouldn't come off. Straight from wikipedia...

seriously, just put a larger rear cog in and you wont ever notice the difference. I know a lot of people who run the FSA chain ring with their 75's and havnt heard a single complaint. I think theyre 50 each.<br />

I have heard people say that some of the more economical chainrings are not always exactly round, and that this might throw your chain off. The better built ones are rounder and will preform better on a fixed setup. I don't know how big of an issue this might be in practice though, just throwing in my $0.02
