Chainring is probably overkill. Maybe I will just not put it on, and if all is ok, I will send it back. Wanted to have it just in case.
Hopefully it's quiet, and smooth. Then will keep my eye on it and keep it much cleaner and better oiled.
Chainrings last a lot longer than cogs. That Surly chainring you ordered is steel and will easily outlast numerous chains and cogs. What chainring were you using before?
