Bottom Line:
These are great rings. I've been using these for my middle and big rings for about 3 winter months of snow/mud/muck. They've lasted great and show no signs of wear (i would have gone through a set of XT rings by now). The shifting is crisp and reliable. I've run the big ring into many logs and the teeth are still surprisingly good. I go through parts pretty quickly, and I'm not typically impressed with durability. These rings seem durable and well built.
Great replacement rings. I would buy these again.
