| May 3, 2020 at 20:18 | comment | added | Criggie♦ | @leftaroundabout OP says they never-ever use the other chainring. And purchasing a new chainring is a chance to choose a narrow-wide one which would be incompatible with a front derailleur. Personally you can prise my triple from me when I'm dead ! | |
| May 3, 2020 at 16:46 | comment | added | leftaroundabout | I don't see how the suggestion to switch to a 1× setup makes any sense. A 2× system is great, even when using it basically only as a narrow and fast 1× – but with still the small chainring there for unexpected situations. The advantages of 1× (lower weight or better options for rear suspension in heavy mountainbikes) really only play out when the bike has right from the start been designed as 1×. I'd rather suggest that maybe it's a good idea to use the small chainring a bit more! | |
| May 3, 2020 at 10:31 | comment | added | Michael | @MichaelD: It doesn’t say so but looks like it’s for a single chainring setup (no grooves to help with up/down shifting). Since that’s what you want it should be fine. Larger aluminium chainrings should last quite a while, especially if you replace the chain early (i.e. at the 0.75% stretch mark) enough. | |
| May 3, 2020 at 10:13 | comment | added | cmaster - reinstate monica | You said that the material question is a cost/weight/durability triangle, but you didn't say, which one you drop for aluminum/steel. I guess, aluminum drops the durability, steel drops the weight, while other materials drop the cost. Is that about correct? | |
| May 3, 2020 at 9:35 | comment | added | Michael D | The reason that I have the second chainring is that my bolts are too long (I plan to change them). Thank you for narrow-wide suggestions! Any opinion regarding, the chainring on a link from aliexpress (aliexpress.com/item/33017750885.html)? | |
