WickWerks Radically Ramped Chainring Chainring
Product DescriptionWickWërks chainrings have multiple ramps spread out every three, four or five teeth, providing a fast positive engagement of the chain no matter where in the crankset revolution you’re shifting.WickWërks chainrings have low profile teeth off of each ramp and an angled area above the top portion of each ramp that allow the chain to lean in and mesh smoothly into the next ring during an upshift. The low profile teeth around the WickWërks chainrings allow the front derailleur cage to physically move the chain past a cut tooth allowing for faster downshifts, especially under load

from Orem, UT, USA Date Reviewed: August 7, 2010 Strengths: Front shifts happen as fast as rear shifts now. Just push it and go, no babying the chain while you wait for it to catch so you can pedal hard again. Hard anodized coating keeps these looking new even after 6 months of hard riding. I have both the MTB triple and the Cyclcross double and they both work great. Weaknesses: None Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Any Singletrack Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $130.00 Purchased At: www.wickwerks.com Similar Products Used: FSA chain rings, they're both chain rings, but the WickWërks chain rings work a whole lot better Bike Setup: K2 Lithium, Stevens Carbon Cross.

from Salt Lake City, UT Date Reviewed: August 14, 2009 Strengths: Look well engineered, w/ 7075-T6 & Mil Hard Coat anodizing should make for good wear life. Mounted on crank fine, though derailleur setup forced the issue of worn out stock deore cage so I upgraded to XT at same time. Chain is new PC991 at time of install. Shifts are quick and solid. No need to baby/sneak up on your up shifts. So far 27 mi RT each day to work for last month, plus the "Death Ride" (129 mi/5 mtn passes & 15K climbing), 5 or 6 trail rides- Looking good so far. Weaknesses: Sometimes shift ups are noisy, dropping to smallest ring sometimes falls off (never had a bike that didn't do that sometimes). Mil. Hard Coat Anodizing is "natural" color, not the black seen on the lovely web site pictures- they would look better in black on my bike. One time, chain jammed and twisted cage on mounting tube (no apparent damage). I've now tightened derailleur clamp beyond normal spec'ed torque, and have not experienced any further problems. Not sure why chain jammed in the first place. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Little Cottonwood Canyon Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $100.00 Purchased At: Local, direct from m Similar Products Used: Stock Bontrager, Race Face Evolve rings. Bike Setup: 2000 Trek 6700 Disc - Avid BB cbl; SRAM PG980/Shim LX Der, stock Bontrager crank, WickWerks rings, XT Der., PC991, ATAC Carbons; WTB Weirwolf 2.1 tires, serfas ICS Gel saddle, Sidi D. 4 shoes.

from Ogden, UT Date Reviewed: September 9, 2008 Strengths: The Rings shift incredibly fast. Low profile teeth make the rolling resistance really low. They also feel a lot stiffer than my previous rings which is also a huge plus. The ring set is lighter than xtr.

from Fountain, CO USA Date Reviewed: June 29, 2008 Strengths: These things shift as smooth and faster than the ones that start with the letter S (XTR). They are quick to engauge, light and strong. Weaknesses: WickWerks does not supply the small chainring with the set. So I got stuck with some cheap cr*p ring that did not work but that was from the e-bay dude that did the work on the crank set. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: the LONG ones Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $100.00 Purchased At: included with work o Similar Products Used: Specialized OEM crank/rings, Shimano XT, and XTR crankset and rings (the Wickwerks are the best). New chain with each set-up. Bike Setup: Started with '97 Stumpjumper (broke that) now Specialized RockHopper Pro with Marathon SL shock and Full XTR 965 componet set. Oh, changed out to XT Rear D after tangle with rocks and spokes. XTR dual control shifters Rapid Rise.
