It has been a while since I got this lovely looking Race Face Narrow/Wide single ring specific chainring fitted on the bike. It's a rough guess but I'd say I've done about 750 km on it and I can tell only good things about it.
I was running a single ring setup before but because it wasn't anything specific I was running into problems. But this one is a different ball game altogether!

Thoughts:
First of all the weight of this ring is impressive in my opinion. Yeah, "it's only a chainring" but still, it is very light indeed.
I picked up the Race Face Narrow/Wide ring because I heard a lot of nice things about it from friends and racer mates. I wanted to run a 1x10 system that can be 100% reliable without using a chain guide. I was after simplicity that can serve me well all the time without any hassle. And this chain ring deliveres all that! :)
Have been using the system in tough conditions on the rough trails of the Wicklow Mountains and it didn't drop the chain. Not even once. Impressive.
So, I'm 100% happy with this ring and I can only recommend it to anyone who is fancy to do some single ring conversion!
