More to the point who is using it with a 104bcd DOUBLE chain set and does it have the offset tabs to avoid chain rubbing on spider issues?

This is from the other thread clearly, but a 32t ring is fine with most cranks. It's only the new Shimano doubles afaik that have the problem.
I currently use a 32t ring on my Saints for instance.
The problem only really happens sub-32t I think.

30t ring.

Yes to all, it's great! Using it on the HT with a 104 SLX crankset, been riding for about 3 weeks now, silence is golden!. I was sold after yokaiser had one on his horse thief in the Italian alps and never missed a beat on some of the rockiest roughest trails I've ridden.

I sold my e13 LS1 for almost what I paid for the ring. Result.

The offset tabs on the RF ring resolve the issue that the new SLX doubles create though. We (I) just need someone to confirm that it actually does.

Any chance of a pic of of your set-up nobeer?
