Thinking of getting a set of these as they’re pretty cheap for what they are, but, they have Chainring Weirdness as is traditional for XTR and I can’t quite get my head round it. 96mm eccentric, but, is it the same as the XT 96mm eccentric? I just want to stick a single ring on them.
Also, am I right that teh chainring bolts thread into the cover things? Is that the only way they work, ie, can you fit a ring without them? I quite like how they look without and it seems kind of overdone
(I see wolftooth’s XT rings can fit but have slightly different height threaded bosses and need slightly filed down, is that a pretty universal thing, frinstance?)
My ancient M970s have Chainring Weirdness too but at least it only affects the middle ring
