the crank arms are nice and stiff, but the rings, well, the rings are standard SRAM shite

three rides old

And really cheap too 😯 I'm looking at a new CX bike and ruled out CX1 when I saw price of chainring (£90) and rear mech (£135 rrp!).

Also looking at Rival but struggling to see passed those tower blocks they call hoods...

Apart from that how were you getting in with it?

it's just the chainset - which I like. got a raceface n/w going on there.

everything else is 105.

I had to look at that picture several times before I saw what was wrong!

it's a fairly poor design - the teeth are held on by metal in shear.

or a poor design that not up to the job? it's behind the arm so fairly protected
