[Closed] Oval / wobble rings - any in steel?

I'm interested in trying an oval/wobble ring
My previous experience of aluminium chainrings is that they wear very fast and despite reversing a single chainring perodically leads onto wearing out the chain and cassette
[LX 2005/XT 2004 chainrings still scar my memory with their short lifespans]
Hence I normally try to use steel (toothed at least) chainrings

Are there any steel oval chainrings?

Those I have seen are good quality. Nothing like what you mention.

I've been running an absolute black one for over 800km and it's still going 😀

I did see some very funky looking Ti ones the other day - not cheap at nearly 110/200 Euros but beautiful

Otherwise [url= http://www.workscomponents.co.uk/chainrings--cogs-19-c.asp ]Works Components[/url] ones are currently reduced pre Christmas and are great value and pretty hard wearing in my experience.

HTH

😀

Wolftooth have stainless ones on the way but it looks like they're going to cost a fortune. TBH with 1x, decent chainrings wear reasonably well and are cheap enough to not stress about replacing- Works are as good as it gets imo and only £22.

Wolftooth do one for their Camo spider, to fit Cinch cranks.

Look up Doval rings on ebay, I got a few steel ones from them a while back. Intermittent supply. Lasting well, a good shape / oval orientation also.
