    Anyone run one?

    I’ve heard they creak under load?

    And Middleburn have tried to resolve the issue with a revised design, but have not been sucessful

    The Uno rings are also bloody expensive (£70 odd!)

    RX-8 creaking ? might be the drivers wrist…….

    If you mean RS-8’s then I run an UNO setup on my SS . Not a sound out of them I can hear the grit in the chainlinks but no the Crankset is rock solid.

    😯 Ah, yes, I do mean rS-8…

    Great to hear as I’ve just gone through the pain of ordering one to use SS

    Wished I had known the RS-8 has a different offset to the square taper stuff I used a while back so all that stuff – including the tools to get the lockring off is all different…

    How long have you been running that set-up? How durable is it proving to be?

    Cheers

    Only about 4-5months I recon but it’s used for the off road commute to work and being a rigid SS it gets left covered in crap i’m not the lightest of chaps either but yeah crankset is rock solid.

    Good to hear.

    I’ve ran the square taper cranks on and off and have always thought them not only well stiff enough, but good lookers too

    I suppose I’m more interested in the Uno ring and how that has been for you – tooth wear particularly

    Well when I say they’re rock solid I mean the chainring / crank interface, no creaks or flexing.
    I have a hardcoat ring I’ll get some pics to show any wear on ‘morrows ride if I remember.

    Right here you go.



    Not too bad considering I’m running a sloppy half link too.

    Blimey – that’s quite amazing for ~6 months use

    I used an Uno for a while and it got well worn – I guess that was running a 1×9 though so having a straight chain line is obviously much much better

    Thanks for posting
