Just wondered if anyone has found a 1X narrow/wide chainring that matches the colour of the current SLX cranks? If you have can you let me know please.
They're predominantly silver with a silver spider aren't they?
Are you hanging it in a gallery or riding it?
Yes, the spider is sort of sand blasted aluminium finish, but the arms are the two-tone aluminium & grey. I'm wondering about a either trying to match the sand blasted finish of the spider, or get a contrast by finding a grey that's a close match to the crank arms. (Strewth, talk about First World problems eh!;)
I spotted Superstars do an anodised grey chainring, but not sure how good a match it'd be. Anyone know of any brands that do a matt aluminium finish 1x ring?
Oh, it'll get ridden alright - it's just such a nice frame, I'm trying to bling it up a bit .......albeit on a shoestring budget.
I just banged a black Raceface N/w on my older Slx. Close enough match to not worry about it.

Don't know what the problem is here. I'm thinking about doing exactly the same.
In fact I've just found [url=

Build it, ride it in the mud. Done
I'm confused. Didn't know people like you existed!

Spot the difference 😉
The handbags more expensive?
Hi,
Superstar NW (Gunmetal/Grey) on my SLX cranks:

Looks okay to me... Works fine too (which is the important bit...)

Superstars do an anodised grey chainring
I also have the above, got it as I already have some Gunmetal Grey alu bolts on the bike, however the Chainring is more of a blue/Grey than a true Gunmetal so doesn't match anyway.
Still using it but will replace it with a Black one once it wears out.
Cheers for the feedback re: colour. Good to know the SS chainring works well too. Just got to find a huge expander cog for the cassette now, so that I can winch my old fat ass up the hills......something like a 50t might do it! (The colour'll have to match tho;))
