If you want to simplify your transmission in patriotic style then Rideworks’ rings are a colourful UK option at a good price.
Rideworks hasn’t deviated from the usual cross section thick and simple fin thin tooth profile pioneered by SRAM, which means it can get a bit grumbly and pick up crap in grotty winter conditions. It runs smoothly enough most of the time though and the simpler design means it’s also slightly cheaper than the other obvious UK made competition from Hope.
The hard anodised finish has scuffed a bit over time as you’d expect but durability is better than another cheaper ring we’re running at the moment and it’s not dropped a chain yet either. There are six colour options in 32, 34 or 36T sizes but no 30T if you’re looking for a crawler cog.
PRICE 57$
