Was running 1×10 on the old bike and will be doing the same to the new one. As it happens the new bike has direct mount compatible GXP cranks.

Seems like my choice is pretty much wolf tooth vs absolute black vs raceface. They all come in about the same price. Any practical differences between them, experiences etc?

I like the absoluteblack ones but then I’m a massive tart and they look really nice. Light as well.

Have an absoluteblack on mine as well.

Wolf Tooth here, bloody lovely thing.

The clever tooth profile does seem to help it shed mud as well.

Absolute Black user here with no dropped chains so far.

Works Components for me.

absolute black here, may as well go oval whilst you’re at it 😉

Would you like my Absolute Black 32T GXP direct mount? Only surplus to requirements as I am oval-curious 😀

Had absolute black 28t and was excellent – now have carbon ti 28t it is fabulous

Thanks Dan but I’ll run a 30t.

If you’re trying to get rid of yours Dan I’m interested. Can you email me a pic please.

Works components do them too, I have a 32t on my hard tail and it is jolly nice. And british.

Happybiker- Will do in the morning when the light is better 😀

They’ve gotten expensive on the AB site… £46! 😯 £20 posted any good to you 😀

More Works Components here – bought one, now got them on all three of my bikes! Doubt theres much difference between any of them though to be fair, just like buying British stuff where I can.

NSB here – it’s not a narrow wide ring, rather 7% thicker on every tooth. I don’t run a chain device and I’ve not dropped the chain yet. Also a lot cheaper than most of the others.
