I talked to LBS, they say they can get that ^^ chainring. They are going to call me back. If not, I can order it and they will install it. I like the idea of switching that out first and seeing how it does. Thanks. I did see the aluminum one in the special order section (QBP) of the LBS. Did not see the Steel model.
