I should know but...
My Orange Crush 2018 came with a RaceFace Affect 11spd chainring, is it 12 speed compatible ?
I have been running it 12 speed, but every now and then when starting off there is a loud click, which can only be coming from the drivechain as I have swapped various rear wheels / cassettes on this bike.
Cheers.
I can’t speak on raceface but I know the works chainrings I ran with sram 12s ran fine in the dry and then sounded like they were about to fall apart in the wet, so it’s a realistic possibility.
Almost certainly not at that age. You can now get 12 speed compatible cinch rings from RaceFace though (or from oneup using their switch rings). Probably other manufacturers now as well.
