I am after a 9 speed 36t chainring for xc use to put on my xt cranks but there will be no bash.
Current choices are the blackspire ones or a standard slx from the doublee set but I have never seen one without the bash guard and not sure of its appearance.
What do you use or have used that you would recommend ?
Thanks
renthal ones were on sale at crc last week.
Salsa are nice and come in colours too....

The coloured Salsa ones are very cool.
Sorry, should have said it will be on a 2x9 but think one of the salsa ones may make it onto the singlespeed I am about to build. They look very nice.
The salsa will work on a 2x9 but the shifting won't be super fast.
Yeah, for 2x9 I'd go for a set of TA rings rather than the Salsa ones - teeth are a bit too deep on the Salsas for smooth shifting.
