I need a new one but they are over £60. Looking at the original it seems to be just a 104bcd ring bolted to a carrier. Is there any good reason why I shouldn't just bolt a new N/W ring to the existing carrier?
I'd use a steel ring, I do this even on a non eeb.
Uberbike make a steel 104 bcd ring £40.
I use normal ali rings fine, wear doesn't even seem to be too bad. I'm getting 2 years out of 1 cassette, 1 chainring + 3 chains.
don’t they need to be specific shimano 12 speed for the 12 speed hg chains?
What about Superstar 104 12 speed rings - 30% off just now so £25 - can't comment on longevity on eeb (only used them on "muscle" bike)
don’t they need to be specific shimano 12 speed for the 12 speed hg chains?
The OE shimano 11spd ones don't play with the 12spd chains.
