Thinking of going for steel for longevity.
Will this reduce wear on the chain and cassette too?

Any recommendations for a nice looking steel 32-34T...?

Would be my suggestion. I've just put one on my SS as I was getting through Aluminium ones in about 6 months.
i've had a steel granny ring on my mtb for ages.
Oooh thats nice, cheers for that.
Pah, not front mech compatible though.
Maybe its time to go 1x9...
For gears? Deore. Last ages.
For SS/1x# then the On-Ones are good. Been running mine on a 1x9 and now SS setup for well over a year and theres very little visible wear.
I have not worn out an alloy chain ring for a long while. I do use qulaity ones though and I change my chain reguarly. These things help alot.
Yup. the chain wears out the rings, not the other way around. get a chain checker and a bulk load of cheap chains
Deore last basically forever, and they keep their shape better than my XT rings did- on my main bike i've had more than twice the lifespan from deore, but also it's kept shifting perfectly for longer whereas the XT ones went a bit baggy after a while and lost their edge.
The weight difference isn't massive either.
