RaceFace 104mm Single Chain Ring

It keeps my chain from dropping. I recommend that you shorten the chain after install, as you wont have a big ring anymore and wont need the extra chain length.

Edgy design and very stiff. It bolts up perfectly to the RF Turbine crank. Perfect for a 1x conversion.

I had this ring on my bike in a fixed gear application for about 8 months or so before it exploded on me. In retrospect, using it in this capacity was probably not too bright; it is really lightweight and seems to be intended for a 1x setup in which there would be less torque applied. When it failed on me, I was applying back pressure on my pedals to slow my descent down a steep hill. The drivetrain creaked and squeaked, and then the chain ring literally blew into pieces. Im giving it three stars because it seemed really well engineered and performed well under intense pressure right up until it failed catastrophically. I imagine that most people would want this for a 1x drivetrain, and I think it would be perfect in that application. However, Race Face should make it more explicitly clear that it isnt suitable for fixed gear-level torque. I now use a heavier stainless steel chain ring and feel much more confident about it.

Looks great and fits perfectly

Worked as expected. Nothing more to say.

I use this ring on a 1x9 setup using a conventional rear derailleur Shimano XT Shadow (without clutch) and without chain retention device. Yes, I did drop my chain once but after 100+ miles of aggressive mountain biking. I then installed a EThirteen chain retention device before an important race only because I wanted to take no chance with this, but it was most likely unnecessary.

I love the narrow/wide setup. I run this with a clutch derailleur and have only dropped the chain once in the first hundred miles or so.

Always the best sprockets

I have several of these rings and they are awesome. Never a dropped chain. Nice choice in colors and sizes.

I have about 300 miles on it so far and it have performed great
