Hopefully the first of many! Its a very pretty thing, 33g for 32T.

Not sure how long an aluminium chainring will last but i'll worry about that when I break it.

Not cheap then. Wonder what the wear will be like. Might consider one for the big ring if it ever wears out, but will stick to Deore steelies for the middle.

The cost matches similar stuff on the market.

What I don't get really is that if Hope do release a 9-36T cassette...then won't we be wanting smaller rings to run it on than 32T? something about 26, so a granny ring.

Why would you want a smaller chainring with a 9-36 cassette? I reckon 34 or 36 will be spot on.

Anyway, 32T is the smallest you can go on 104BCD cranks

Why would you want a smaller chainring

In order to share the extra ranger between high and low...maybe its just me that would want that 🙂
