RaceFace 104mm Single Chain Ring

Just added a 30T to my 1x9 set up on a Full Suspension 29er. I have a 650B and Fat Bike running 30T NW on 1x10s using Clutch Type 2 SRAM RDs and they have never dropped on me even on the most gnarly trails. So I had a 32T normal chain ring on my 1x9 using a bash and N gauge jump stop, but the 32T ring with a 9 Speed combined with a full sus just never felt right on some trails. So after loving my other 2 30T NW rings I figured let me give it a go. My set up is a XMC 9 Speed Chain, Shimano XT Rapid Rise RD, FSA Gap Crankset, Shimano Deore Shifter and a Deore Cassette. I dropped the Jump Stop and Bash off the crankset and just left on the 30T NW ring, I took out 2 links to clean up the chain slack and headed out for some testing. After 18 miles of single track and not once did it drop, I had wondered if I would get one drop since I am using a normal style RD and I can say with out a doubt even when I tried to get it to drop I wasnt able to. So its safe to say that even with out a clutch style RD you can run these with out using a bash or a chain guide. These are well worth the money, the 1x10 set up has been a dream and makes gearing cake. You never have to worry about matching RPMs when coming into a climb or descents. I have been using 2 other NW rings and they are wearing great just like any other well made chain ring. If you are going for a simple setup with the added bonus of dropping some weight off the bike then snag one of these. I will be swapping my other 2x setups over to 1xs each week!

Looks great on my bike and works awesome

Narrow wide is the best at keeping chain on the chain ring. Great Price.

Perfect fit. Really like the narrow/wide design. Havent dropped a chain.

First narrow/wide chain ring Ive used with a 1x setup. Lightweight, precision machined. Works well, never toss a chain.

Works great easy install!! Gonna buy another very soon

Great upgrade! For perfect!

Works great on my new 1 X 10 setup!

Awesome chainring, used it to convert to 1x on my Kona. Only thing is I wish I could get it in purple. Would buy again for sure

It broke after about 2 months of riding (less than 100 miles). I was climbing a packed dirt trail and it catastrophically failed. It was on a Race Face crankset which seems to be fine.
