Description:WickWërks 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

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.
Bottom Line:
These rings are easily the best rings on the market without a doubt. lighter faster and stiffer than anything else out there. definately the ringset for those who are looking for the maximum competetive edge and even for those that seek maximum performance out of their machine

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.
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.
Bottom Line:
These rings ROCK. They shift better than OEM or aftermarket XTR. I have managed to keep them off the rocks mostly. They are strong, straight, light, and made in the USA.
These things get on the next upper ring before I am done with the shift on these dual control XTR shifters.
