Submitted by Condro a from NorCal
Date Reviewed: January 11, 2007
Favorite Trail:Raw Dawg
Duration Product Used:More than 3 years
Strengths:Durable, Comes in many sizes, Black ano finish, light on the budget. Many shops will have it in stock.
Weaknesses:Slightly heavier then some of the competition, but still very light. Softer metal.
Similar Products Used:E.13, Salsa, Azonic
Bike Setup:Gamut P40 Chainguide
Bottom Line:This is a solid product that will look great on your ride, and be very reliable. If you are looking to make the lightest ride out there, there are other alternatives, but this chainring will never hold you back.
Also works great with Truvativ cranks.

Submitted by Ben a Downhiller from New Zealand
Date Reviewed: October 7, 2006
Duration Product Used:1 Year
Strengths:cheaper than other brands
Weaknesses:wore quickly
Bike Setup:Keewee Progressor, z150 hope hubs, mavic rims, shimano
Bottom Line:After a year the teeth are worn and the chain jumps off the ring, this is not acceptable. I will get a chromo ring if i can find one.

Submitted by Condro a Downhiller from NorCal
Date Reviewed: February 5, 2006
Duration Product Used:More than 3 years
Price Paid: $30.00
Strengths:Solid design, Runs very smooth, wears well.
Weaknesses:The E13 is lighter, and I think they could lighten this ring up a bit too.
Similar Products Used:E13, FSA, Salsa, Planet X
Bike Setup:Santa Cruz V10 w/ boxxer WC, Gamut p40 chainguide, on Stylo team 170mm.
Bottom Line:Solid Chain ring that is simple and looks good. If you dont run a bash guard this could be a good option for dirtjumping or light dh. Also they come in a wide variaty of sizes, so what ever suites your need they have it.

Purchased At:Truvativ
Strengths:Strong, strong, strong!
Weaknesses:None yet.
Similar Products Used:Truvativ Hussefelt rings and rockguard; lots of Shimano products.
Bike Setup:Haro MX3 frame, Marzocchi Super T, Fox Vanilla RC shock, Mavic D321 / XT / Atom Lab disc wheelset, Shimano M555 hydraulic disc brakes w/ Hope 8" rotors and EBC red pads, Shimano shifter, Shimano M545 pedals, Truvativ Holzfeller DH cranks, ring, stem, and handlebar (these rock!), MRP Slalom 1 chainguide, ODI Yeti Lock-on grips, Koski saddle.
Bottom Line:What can one say about a single chainring, except that this one is very strong, works well with my MRP, and is still true after one DH season.
