[Closed] Raceface sixc crank which middle ring guys

Forgot to say bcd is 104 and it's got a bash on

Running the exact same setup myself and the 36t looks quite worn already after only a couple of months.

Quite disappointed as I'm murder for keeping the drivetrain spotless/lubed and it just hasn't lasted.

My XT rings lasted nearly 2 years. All the recent/decent rings seem to be aimed at single setups.

It's the second turbine ring he's gone thru pretty damn quick doing his head in. He said shimano rings don't fit so I thought id put the question on here to see what's available

Not tried but shimano xt is 104 so should fit?

Mine are the later sixc with removable granny tabs so not sure if he has the earlier ones and they differ?

I spoke to him earlier and he said the shimano ones don't fit so ur probably right blue about his beeing the earlier ones.

Saying that they should still be 104? Think the removable tab is just for extra clearance for chain devices etc?

Ah nice one bluearsedfly I will mention it to him today. He'd be happy if he can get a 36 xt or even slx ring on

He could try a Renthal ring. They are plain teeth, without gear change cutouts or thick/thin. I am using them on a 2*9 and 3*9 and they are fine. I dont expect to change between chainrings while under power so have not really found them worse changing gear.

Although if the 10speed chain is a little narrower it might hold onto the chainring a little more which would not help changing gear.

I will mention that to him doh thanks

Come with shifting ramps and tough as old boots, seems like the best of both worlds if you can't fit Shimano rings.

A hard anodized single ring like Gamut or Renthal would be tough but they aren't designed for multi ring use and your shifting will suffer.
