Anyone try out using a steel chain ring?
I've gone through two chain rings in the last two seasons. Latest being a North Shore Billet ring, which worked pretty well (no drops), looks nice and costs less than other rings. But the teeth on it are starting to look more like fish hooks than anything else.
The steel ring should last longer, but will my chain also wear out faster?
Other huge benefit is that steel rings seem to be less than a third of the price of their aluminum counterparts. For a few grams worth of weed, that seems pretty good savings.
For reference, Jenson has some steel Race Face rings for $19 Canadian pesos. Or just $14 freedom dollars.
