RaceFace 104mm Single Chain Ring

Bought this for my husband in 2013. Still doing its job so I cant complain. He loves the lime green since its his favorite color. It fits nicely onto his Giant mountain bike and he is very pleased with its quality.

used to convert my Paragon to a 1x9 setup. Fits the stock Shimano LX crank perfect. Really like the anodized blue finish. Bling!

Exactly what i was wanting. The 32T was perfect for me! It looks good on the ol trek too ;-)

Easy to install and goes with all my RF components. Satisfied!

PERFECT! i used it in shimano deore m615, It is very stable and keeps the chain in its place

This chainring was an amazing upgrade for my 1x10 setup. I havent had a chain fall off since I installed this chainring.

It keeps my chain on the chainring, I run 1 x 10 along with a Zee derailleur. The narrow / wide teeth do seem to fit well into the narrower 10 speed chain.

Summary: Like others have said, if you are going back and forth on this chain ring, or cant decide, just buy it already! Chain ring installed easily and I was out on the trails in no time. I didnt want to have to swap out my rear derailleur or cassette, so I went with the 30t chain ring to give me almost the same gear ratio coverage as I had with a 3x10 setup. After riding a couple of times I know there will be some really steep climbs that will be tough in the lowest gear, but the simplicity and cleanliness of the 1x10 setup is well worth the extra effort from time to time. In Depth: I ride a 2012 Trek Fuel EX 8 that came with the standard (at the time) 3x10 setup. I have a non-clutch Shimano XT rear derailleur and an 11-36 cassette. Ive always wanted to convert to 1x but couldnt justify pulling off perfectly good parts. Ive been away from mountain biking for a couple of years and recently went into a local bike shop. I was blown away that all of the new bikes come with 1x11. My crank was starting to creak and my front derailleur was acting up so I figured it was time to overhaul the crank and I figured Id convert to 1x10 and save the hassle of trying to get my front derailleur dialed in. I decided on this chain ring because after researching it was the cheapest and simplest way to get a 1x drivetrain. I pulled off the stock deore crank and gave it a good deep cleaning. I removed the chainrings which is pretty simple. I didnt need the special tool to hold the back side of the chain ring bolts (I have enough single use tools so I try to avoid buying them where possible). The Race Face chain ring itself is a very nice piece of equipment. It is very nicely machined and is super lightweight. The red anodized version is beautiful and the graphics arent too over the top. If you are installing a small ring in front (30-32t), you will almost certainly need to remove your crank to get it on. I wanted to install with the plain side facing out, but mine could only be installed with the Race Face graphics facing out. The raised bolt holes fit perfectly into the crank. I was also able to reuse 4 of the stock bolts I removed earlier. I was afraid I was going to have to buy longer bolts but didnt need to. I installed the crank, shortened the chain a little bit (i think it was 2 or 4 links) and was ready to go. First time I rode this I was blown away at the reduction in chain slap and other drive train noises I had gotten used to. I was concerned because I dont have one of the new clutched derailleurs, but the chain hasnt come off or slipped once. Ive been riding a lot of technical single track with roots and rocks and the chain stays on perfectly. It will make a little bit of chain noise when you get into the largest or smallest cog in the back but thats pretty typical. Im happy I chose the 30t too. After using an online gear ratio calculator I realized I was only losing my top 2 and bottom 2 gears. I can live without those especially with how much cleaner and simpler my bike is. All in all this is a great piece and Id highly recommend it to anyone on the fence. I was amazed that I could convert to 1x for only $40 and am so glad I did.

Awesome chain ring. Converted my RaceFace Ride crankset from a double to a single ring setup. From my past experience buying RaceFace chain rings on Amazon, no fittment issues with this ring and crankset. Bought a 34t for an 11 speed Shimano setup, would probably buy this ring again but 32t size. Feels pretty light weight and ring material is super durable. Narrow wide teeth hold the chain snugly, even if the chain line is off, as mine was prior to adding 3mm spacers (issue with double crank and boost 148 too). Would actually rate this item one star solely based on waiting an extra week for an item that took two days to actually ship to my residence.

Works great, does the job. Ive bought 4 of these over the years.
