What have people had good experience with?

Thanks.

blackspire

Do people actually use granny rings these days?

Another vote for Blackspire here, but also have a look at TA. I’m running a full set of TA on the Enduro at the moment, having used Blackspire previously. Am impresed with the TA in terms of wear/shifting and lack of chain suck so far!

Blackspire’s seem OOS 22t in most places I’ll have a good look around thanks guys.

I’d love to know why anyone needs a granny ring to be strong – how in the world would you break one even if it wasn’t strong??? (so long as it is strong enough to pull the chain along a bit)

oh, ok, you mean one that doesn’t wear out. Fairy nuff.

fueled………….bit like any other part on a bike.

i have snapped 2 inner and 1 middle ring in the past……..just riding along.

Got a stainless TA one which has lasted pretty well. Much better than the XT one it replaced, which seemed to be made of cheese…

For VFM – steel 🙂

Alloy granny rings are like cheese absolute shite they wear out or as Ton found they snap. If you are strong and heavy you need a decent one..
