Strengths: uh... oh yeah, it was really cheap.Weaknesses: everything other than priceBottom Line: i bought it 'cause it was in stock at my lbs. had to buy a new one a few months later. bought a shimano this time(my strong-arm crank doesn't deserve better), the same one that i have on my '94 trek with about 10000 miles on it. the teeth look like pins but it still works flawlessly. the new one shifts MUCH better than the sugino too. these are real pieces, don't buy them.

Strengths: LightWeaknesses: Soft, thin aluminum feels and wears like its made of tin foilBottom Line: These rings came stock on my bike and I wore out the middle and large chainrings within 3months. I replaced my whole drivetrain with a new set and the big ring bent after going over one teeny little log. These things might as well be plastic.

Strengths:
NothingWeaknesses:
Very weak construction.
They bend.
Teeth break and bend too easy.
Caused chain suck everytime.Bottom Line: In one week I had bent to big ring and knocked 2 teeth off. The middle ring caused chain suck from day one and I just kept bending the teeth on these rings. Caused a broken chain in 2 races. Crap Crap Crap

outer ring specificallyBottom Line: I'll give it 3 cause I was able to bend it back successfully. And to be fair, the 4-arm spider wasn't helping any.

Strengths:
That is the weaknessWeaknesses:
The strengthBottom Line: The outer Sugino CXP ring bent after 2-weeks of normal riding and occasional contact with objects ( ie rocks). The alloy is way to soft in my opinion. It just doesn't hold up. The middle ring, on the other hand, is heavy steel, and doesn't need to be as strong as the outer ring anyway, since it will never kiss a rock. Replace them when you can, except the inner ring, that one's OK.

Bottom Line: The middle chainring (32) was bent from the start and eventually lost one tooth. Shifts ok one it's straight but it's not like a good xt .
