You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
Anyone other than Absolute Black? They look good but £70! I was expecting Superstar or the like to have started producing them. My Google-Fu says no tho...
WolfTooth have one - though think it's even more spendy than the AB version:
(sorry - that's not entirely useful...)
Wolf Tooth seem to make them - but even more expensive at £83
No doubt more will appear as the Shimano 12 speed gradually becomes more prevalent.
Edit: Beaten to it!
Tredz did have them cheaper, I picked up one for 55 with their usual fiver code earlier this month, but they've gone up now. So 65 (with the code) is as low as I can see.
Thanks all. I think I’ll hang on until the usual suspects enter the market...
Do [b]Works Components[/b] not have any?
Might be worth an email if they don't to see when they'll have one.
Al, on the Superstar website they say their chainrings are 12 speed compatible.
New bits for the Ripley?
Steve - they don't do Shimano fits yet tho. I wanted to build the ripley with an oval, but not for £70!
I've dropped works comp an email.
Are the new Shimano cranks a different fitting? Hadn't realised.
You should stick to 11 speed like the rest of us 😀
They are, more like SRAM an RF. I blame my accountant, he talked me into it!
+1 pester Works Comp to make you one.
I think oneup do them but off the top of my head need a sram chain to run, I wouldnt have thought it mattered but it must do.
Absolute Black claim superior material, I think its true, they last a LONG time, plus the timing off their ovality is spot on.
I've been using them for years.
As advised I rotate 3 chains

Yup - I've been using ABs for a while now, and they seem to last WAAAY longer than other brands, including some "premium" names. Happy to pay a bit more as a result.
