| Bottom Line: | These thing are awsome have ridden them over 14 years and to many mile to think about still not worn out I wish I could say that about the chains. If you can ever find a set grab them well worth the money |

| Duration Product Used: | More than 3 years |
| Price Paid: | $32 |
| Purchased At: | Ribble Cycles |
| Strengths: | Longest lasting middle ring I've ever run. |
| Weaknesses: | Steel is untrendy. No shifting ramps, but then who cares when you're running proper shifters (XT thumbies) not some lightweight fairy Rapidfire+ or Gripshi*t system. |
| Similar Products Tried: | Pace, Cook Bros, Mavic, Shimano, Stronglight, Real, Middleburn |
| Bike Setup: | What's relevant - XT 8 speed rear sprocket, Deore XT cranks circa 1994, Mavic granny ring, Middleburn big ring. Onza buzzsaw middle ring. Sachs chain turns them together. XT thumbies run cack-handed and under the bars move a 1994 XT front shifter & an Ultegra rear mech. Shifting is sweet. |
| Bottom Line: | The Buzzsaw in the longest lasting middle ring I've ever used & I've had no chainsuck ever. So it might not have shifting pins ramps and half it's teeth missing before you even start but so what? Weights a bit more than alloy but what do I care. Steel is still real, especially on a middle ring. |

| Duration Product Used: | more than 3 years |
| Strengths: |
Sronger than Alloy. Shifts SO SMOOTH! No more chainsuck! Super practicle product! |
| Weaknesses: |
Heavier than Alloy. (But the middle ring is a BAD place to use alloy) |
| Similar Products Tried: |
Shimano Alloy 36t, Specialized Alloy 36t, Suntour Alloy 36t. |
| Bike Setup: | Had this on my '93 D.B. Apex, all Deore DX components. |
| Bottom Line: | The alloy middle rings get worn, then shifting suffers and chainsuck sets in. I need S.S. on the small AND middle rings. This S.S. middle ring solves the problem! I want another one for my new bike (34t 110mm middle). Anyone know where I can find one? |
