What chainring company should I buy from?
Seeya bashguard! For now that is.
Ok when I start going through the woods ill put it back on.
So whats a good company/model that makes super strong mountain chainrings?
I need a 104bcd one.
I thought about FSA-Downhill CR. Seems alright.
I also sort of know about blackspire...(if theyre any good)
Any others for a MTB? Thanks

I've been using E.13 rings on my bikes. They are crazy light and last forever. Made out of 7000 series aluminum.

The Blackspire ring that came on my Demo 8 was heavier than the E.13 I replaced it with.

I vote for Race Face. Ramped, pinned, and the best shifting rings I've ever had.

for a while i rode the 32T raceface that came with my crank, good ring, then i got my FSA billet DH 36T chainring and i love it, i don;t even notice it and that's how it should be, no problems at all, how big are you looking for? I have the stock, i think 42T, from my crankset.

When I was slapping together my SS, the ring I got from my LBS was from Rocket Rings. It's worked out fine so far and was pretty cheap. No ramps or pins, though. Definitely a SS-only item.
