I recently purchased a set of Sram cranks that had been cut down buy bike Smith. The chain rings that came with it are the sram power glide 5 bolt.( Apex crank).
I love the length of the crank but I was blown away at the difference between shifting from the Big Ring to the small ring from my Shimano 6800 crank. Are there any chainrings I can swap out on that crank that would give it a higher quality shift.
You could try Force chainrings.
Though if the rest of the group is Apex, there may not be much you can do other than ensuring it’s properly tuned. It’s a low-end group. In Shimano terms it’d be comparing Ultegra (6800) to Sora.
Everything else on the bike is SRAM red I only went with the Apex to try a really short crank on the cheap

Oh yeah, then definitely Red/Force rings (which are the same, I think).
