RaceFace 104mm Single Chain Ring

I ride a mix of freeride and downhill. Lots of big jumps/big drops/roots/rocks/bumps/vibrations/etc. Paired this with a clutched derailleur as a 1x10 setup and I havent been able to drop a chain. I try, but it doesnt happen. Does just as good of a job keeping my chain on as a full chainguide did.

Easy to install. Works great.

Just what i needed

great quality and light !!! Over 2 years of use and still perfect

I used this for my 1x conversion. I havent dropped the chain once between this chain ring, the Race Face bash guard, a properly sized chain (big+2 method), and my X9 Type 2 short cage derailleur. The chain ring still looks great and matches my Race Face crank set.

super

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!

Great product

as described

Holds chains on nice for 1x drivetrains. Good finish and fit.
