Bike Setup:Kona Hei-Hei Ti HT White Brothers fork Grafton Joystick Cranks, XTR v-brakes, Chris King Hubs
Bottom Line:These thing are awsome have ridden them over 14 years and to many mile to think about still not worn out I wish I could say that about the chains. If you can ever find a set grab them well worth the money

Submitted by Nick a Cross Country Rider from Oop North, England
Date Reviewed: September 21, 2000
Duration Product Used:More than 3 years
Price Paid: $32.00
Purchased At:Ribble Cycles
Strengths:Longest lasting middle ring I've ever run.
Weaknesses:Steel is untrendy. No shifting ramps, but then who cares when you're running proper shifters (XT thumbies) not some lightweight fairy Rapidfire+ or Gripshi*t system.
Similar Products Used:Pace, Cook Bros, Mavic, Shimano, Stronglight, Real, Middleburn
Bike Setup:What's relevant - XT 8 speed rear sprocket, Deore XT cranks circa 1994, Mavic granny ring, Middleburn big ring. Onza buzzsaw middle ring. Sachs chain turns them together. XT thumbies run cack-handed and under the bars move a 1994 XT front shifter & an Ultegra rear mech. Shifting is sweet.
Bottom Line:The Buzzsaw in the longest lasting middle ring I've ever used & I've had no chainsuck ever. So it might not have shifting pins ramps and half it's teeth missing before you even start but so what? Weights a bit more than alloy but what do I care. Steel is still real, especially on a middle ring.

Submitted by Dean a Weekend Warrior from Anchorage, AK
Date Reviewed: April 30, 1999
Favorite Trail:
Waterfall Trail, Liberty Lake WA
Duration Product Used:
more than 3 years
Strengths:
Sronger than Alloy.
Shifts SO SMOOTH!
No more chainsuck!
Super practicle product!
Weaknesses:
Heavier than Alloy.
(But the middle ring is a BAD place to use alloy)
Similar Products Used:
Shimano Alloy 36t, Specialized Alloy 36t,
Suntour Alloy 36t.
Bike Setup:
Had this on my '93 D.B. Apex, all Deore DX components.
Bottom Line:The alloy middle rings get worn, then shifting suffers and chainsuck sets in. I need S.S. on the small AND middle rings. This S.S. middle ring solves the problem! I want another one for my new bike (34t 110mm middle). Anyone know where I can find one?
