RaceFace 104mm Single Chain Ring

Simple to install, given that it is a single piece. Ive been using this in a 1x10 setup on a Surly Pugsley with no bash guard or chain retainer. No dropped chains on single track, pavement, or riding in the snow (or any combination of those three). I havent had it long enough to comment on durability, but Race Faces reputation is what lead me to buy it.

functions well no dropped chains yet with hard riding looks great-very nice finish

Easy install, appears to be well made. Will update review after trail test. Converted 3 ring FSA crankset to make the bike a 1x10. Liking the no front derailuer. Update: after 10 mile ride I’m happy with it. Never fell off riding normal singletrack with lots of roots and bumps. I’m an average rider and found the 30t to be perfect for my riding style. If your a big gear masher maybe the 32t?

Im loving the look and simplicity! I purchased the 30T to pair with my 9 speed Shimano Alivio rear derailleur. No issues in installation. Would buy again!

Great chain ring, my chain hasnt came off once and Ive road in a lot of mud, 31 miles of it during iceman race in Traverse city Michigan.

Dont get put off by 4-stars. I believe that 5-stars should be for live-changing products. That said, I like this chain ring about as much as you could like any chain ring. I am an avid mountain biker of 20 years and I do all of my own work. I recently picked up a Giant Faith 0 with a 1x9, but the 36T it had in the front wouldnt cut it for the rolling hill rides of SoCal. The quality on this ring is nice. It fells thick an well made and I suspect it will last about as long or longer than any of the aluminum rings out there. The wide/narrow tooth pattern seems to be working as Ive had it on for several weeks now and havent dropped a chain yet (I am an aggressive rider.) I like the fact that Race Face offers several color patterns to choose from, so I was able to match my green frame with style. I dont normally worry much about that sort of thing, but it was a nice touch. There is something that you need to be aware of if you are ordering the 30T. The mounting has to allow for the width of the chain, so it has a several mm offset. My other ring didnt, so I had to get creative with spacing. You may find yourself needing longer bolts and potentially spacer at the cranks - especially if you are combining this with a chain guide. Also note that you may have to take off your cranks to install this as it may not fit over the mounting arms from the outside. None of these things are deal breakers, but just know that you might need some crank tools and it may not be a simple as a 5-minute 1 for 1 swap. Once mounted, though, I think you will enjoy the robust feel, how well it holds your chain, and will be sporting a little bit of bling as well.

Great product.

Easy to install and goes with all my RF components. Satisfied!

I converted my old 3X8 system to a 1X9. My original triple had a 32T middle ring. This ring is great. I dont know if it is be design but the tabs that allow the chain to clear the cranks move the chain into almost perfect alignment. I have not replace the SRAM X7 long cage rear derailleur yet (I do plan to) and I have not dropped the chain yet. If you are doing a 1xX conversion, this chain ring is the perfect solution.

Great product
