Advantages of higher quality cranksets - of course I am presuming more expensive are higher quality. Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes. Improve this answer. Narrow wide teeth will hold the chain so well that you can't shift :- seriously, they're for 1x only.
We don't know the OP's cutoff for ridiculously priced, but 1x rings aren't inherently that expensive in general although obviously an XTR or highest end SRAM ring will be very expensive. I thought it would be clear from context that narrow wide correspond to single chainrings, and no shifting. But apparently I'd need to spell out everything.

To me, the first paragraph reads weird, as if cheap cranks like FC-MT that have replaceable chainrings compatible with any 1x, theoretically and 24mm spindle PF compatible suddenly become "high end".
I'd reword it. Two other points are good, though. That does not exclude there existence of any cheaper compatible cranksets. Also, most Shimano cranks have replaceble chainrings, true.
That does not mean you can take a Claris crank, put on Ultegra, Dura-Ace chainrings and have an speed crankset. It does not work like that. Has anyone had experience with cheap vs expensive parts?

Can it damage the chain and cassette? Are all manufacturers equal? Do you get quality for paying more or do we simply pay for brand? MontyVeda a short-tempered ill-controlled small-minded troll. Location Lancaster I put cheap unbranded chainrings from Ebay on about five years ago. They don't look as swanky as the Truvativ rings they replaced, but they do the same job so next time they need replacing, I'll be going down the skinflint route again Note: I did need to do a little bit of filing to get one of them to fit properly.
AliShah said:. Ah cheers thanks for the heads up chaps. That's quite a significant different. How long does a chainring typically last you guys in years or miles? I think I'm developing an addiction to bike parts. Not bad going at all!! Do you commute on your bike or is it weekend leisure? MichaelW2 Guru. Viewing 13 posts - 1 through 13 of 13 total.
