Review on ๐Ÿ–ค Black/Silver Origin8 Alloy Ramped Chainrings by Nick Griffith

Revainrating 4 out of 5

It does what I bought it for.

It's hard to find a ring with 53 teeth and 110mm pitch so don't be too picky. However, this part is significantly thinner than the FSA ring it replaced and requires spacers to ensure there is no chain rubbing when the chain is on the small ring and some of the smaller teeth are on the hub. I'm sure it will be flexible, but I only use it on the trainer in the winter. When I get back on the road I'll be back on the FSA 50 cog - if I'm going so fast that I can't turn 50x11 I'll most likely end up on a downhill where I could coast. about as fast. I can't turn such a high gear in an apartment! So bottom line, it does what I bought it for.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Reliability
