I'm a bit perplexed by the noise you have. The chain was worn and it worn the chain ring as well. Now a new chain is making a noise from the same chain ring. I would have expected looser tolerances that might cause a chain drop rather than tighter tolerances that generate noise. Did the LBS explain this to your satisfaction?Specialized just responded about the chain ring. They carry it but has to be ordered by LBS as it is more involved according to them.
no one including the manufacturer (Praxis) have the chain ring.
Those of you who might need this in future should ask your LBS to order.
I don’t want to ride my bike due to this annoying sound until I get it repaired with new chain ring (at least not often).
You might want to take a look at the chain on the chain ring and be sure the narrow teeth are in the narrow chain slots, etc. Normally you can't install the chain incorrectly but with a worn ring the new chain might have been fitted 1/2 link off with narrow slots over wide teeth and wide slots over narrow teeth. The narrow slots over wide teeth could be causing the noise. Worth a look...
