44T 7075 aluminium 104BCD chainring


Got this off "Redbike" on fleabay. Weight is 75g as claimed. Ring is made from 4mm 7075 aluminium plate with extensive CNC machining, shift reliefs and shift pins. Its slightly lighter than a stock Shimano XT chainring but is only a fraction of the price.

Shifting performance is as good as the stock XT chainring.
