I want to switch my Sramm XX 2×10 to 1×10 setup and so I’m looking for a suitable 36t chainring. By suitable I mean 120 bcd in order to fit the XX spider.
After an evening of surfing I’ve identified 2 options:
1. WTC Drop Stop
2. Renthal SR4
The WTC option claims not to need a chain guide and I like the idea of that. Although I haven’t found a UK distributor and don’t really fancy ordering from abroad.
The Renthal option is described as having offset teeth to give better chain alignment, though I’ve no idea whether the WTC ring does this too.
Has anyone had experience of either of these rings in a 1×10 setup, particularly if with XX cranks?
Are there any other options I should consider?
Thanks in advance.
