from Albuquerque, NM Date Reviewed: July 10, 2004 Strengths: Light, smooth shifting - but who cares if they can't hold your chain when you most need them to. Weaknesses: NOT MADE FOR ALL BIKES! BE CAREFUL! Not compatible with some full suspension bikes. I have Giant NRS and the middle ring would not hold the chain when the rear suspension engaged - even when the ring was brand new. I replace the middle ring with a much less "engineered" ring (and much less expensive) and the problem went away completely. Shimano should offer us some rings that get it done the old fashion way - with big beautiful TEETH. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: King Cedidro Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $50.00 Purchased At: performancebike.com (?) Bike Setup: Giant NRS with XT drivetrain
