Yeah I've got blackspire,on one, superstar all just as good, although race face one was lighter, it definitely wore out quicker,

"I have a dream... Where all thick thin chainrings are equal..." ๐Ÿ˜€

They do vary with each brand, for example Wolftooth make a stainless thick thin chainring which is twice as heavy put last 5 times as long as an Alu one if believe the marketing dept.

On my bikes the Superstar one is more prone to creaking than the Works one - maybe different tolerances on the bolt holes?

Look for ones that have been hard anodised, they usually last longer, only downside is they only come in black or that weird Goldy colour.
