FIFTY-FIFTYRound 104BCD Chainring, 30T 32T 34T 36T Narrow Wide Mountain Bike Chainring, Single Chainring for 9/10/11-Speed with 4 Alloy Chainring Bolts for MTB

My winter bike is a 1 x 9 origin8 amarok xlt. I've had it for two years. During that time I have never used first gear, and second gear only once. I am not a nuts type mountain biker, but also first gear seemed like it must be so low that I couldn't even ride the bike that slow without tipping over.The amarok is a 32 tooth ring so I wanted to try a 34 narrow wide. This has made the difference in gearing that you would expect. If I pedal really really fast in first gear now I don't tip over.The ring gear on the amarok seemed to be made of stamped sheet steel. Very sturdy and had not weared much. All the teeth on the amarok steel ring were narrower than the narrow teeth on the fifty fifty which seems to be a single machined piece of aluminum alloy. The teeth on the 50 50 were longer than the origin8 teeth.I've not run the new gear very far yet, it is noiser than the old gear, but the bike seems to shift better. Not sure that makes sense so maybe just my imagination? Perhaps I should try the dry lube powder or a different lube type (to quiet it down)?I will report back if there are any longevity problems.

Been on 3 rides with the new chain ring and it’s a beast so far. Used it to change from a 3x9 to a 1x9 and it did not disappoint! Install was easy and it came with all of the hardware. I can update as more rides happen but so far it’s a great chainring.If anyone wants know, I ordered the 34T chainring from 50-50 to convert the set to a 1x9. The original middle chainring on the 3x9 was a 32T, but where I ride it didn’t make a huge difference in performance.

Fit well, looks good, fast ship.Thanks

First off I haven't used any other brands of chain rings but read reviews and considered pricing. Didn't want the least expensive and didn't want to pay the for the most expensive. Fifty Fifty was a middle of the road chain ring and comes in a few colors and looks pretty cool ( very important). Installation was simple and it came with hardware. I noticed some chain noise but soon ran in with a few rotations by hand and is now very quiet. I liked so well I purchased a second Fifty Fifty chain ring. The drive train I'm now running is shimano 10 speed 11-42 cassette, shimano m6000 sgs and of course the Fifty Fifty 32t red chain ring and everything is running great.

I did a cheap 1x9 conversion on an old bike. A Jamis exile 2. This works perfectly. I kept the stock rear mech, shortened the chain and slapped this on. No dropped chains after 5 miles of mild trails. I'll follow up after a bunch more miles.A strong point for this ring is the fact that I didn't need a chainring tool to install it. Only needed the tool (or a wide screwdriver) for removal of the stock chainring. If this info is included in the item description I overlooked it. The provided chainring bolts have tabs that lock in place. Winning bigly.If you're looking to do the el cheapo 1x conversion as I did, prepare to use spacers between the chainring and the crank.[Edit]After about 50 miles of single track not a single dropped chain w/ stock rear mech and cassette. Be sure to have an assortment of spacers when tuning.

Quality product. Installs easy and includes the needed hardware.

Super nice surface finish compared to RaceFace's chainring which was cheaply machined, plus it comes with hardware, plus it's $19 cheaper. Triple win for me. It also keeps the square tooth profile like the original SRAM chainrings, which RaceFace eschews for some reason.Unlike the SRAM chainrings, this one integrates spools so you only have one fastener at each leg instead of two that pinch from either side. Seems to work fine and it's a simpler design. It also has a small 2mm offset that allows the chain to clear the mounting star despite being smaller than SRAM's minimum 32t size. Has no effect on my 11 sp setup.

Bought the 32T chainring in red. ChainRing is a good .5 mm thicker than the other cheap ring I bought earlier and only got about 300 XC miles out of.However, not happy at all that this chaining wasadvertised as coming with alloy chainring bolts. They are very thin wall aluminum. Seriously. Directions say crank down to 12nm. I did the first one and the shim on the bolt cracked. So, chainring looks good, but I'm knocking the rating done for the cheap bolts.UPDATE:10/31/21Still like the 32t chainring itself, but growing increasingly disappointed with the underwelming chainring bolts That came with the ring . I HAVE to tighten before every ride and then at least one chainring bolt will work itself loose after only about a mile of XC trails. I always tighten to the 12 NM torque that the package says to use.Update:11/02/21After having to tighten Chain ring bolts before every ride, one of the ring bolt heads came off.Update: 08/24/2022A couple of weeks ago, the seller reached out and offered to send me a new replacement ring with bolts. They said they have updated the bolts. I accepted the offer and they promptly sent out the new Chain ring with bolts. I'm moving my rating up a star for that alone. I have not had time to put the ring and bolts on my bike yet. I will post an updated review when I can complete the install.
