RaceFace 104mm Single Chain Ring

Switched my bike to 1x without a clutch derailer, and only through a chain guide on, have only dropped a chain once and it was on a very aggressive single track.

Lightweight Chaining.

Couldnt be happier with my new 1x10 Race Face setup. I have this paired with a SRAM X7 (NON-clutch/type 2), and havent had a single drop. After resizing the chain (dropped about 4 links), you will surely notice how snug the narrow/wide chainring fits. I purchased the Origin8 (steel) bolts, and some blue locktite to complete the install. Make sure you spend the extra $3 on marine grease to re-lube your cranks and bearings. Also, keep in mind, a regular 8mm (or whatever size you need) allen key may not provide enough torque to loosen the crank bolt. A $3 8mm allen key ratchet adapter from HD did the trick.

Product is the newer version of this chainring WITHOUT the threaded bolt pattern. Not a deal breaker but I did have to order some spacers to make it fit.

This chainring is not round at all. Its almost like an oval chainring which is NOT what I ordered.

Great product no chain drop even in some crazy down hill action. Easy to install and works fn great

Never really come of the big chainwheel, and when I did, sometimes forget that I had because I habitually got back up to speed using the rear gearing. Decided to go from a 3x9 set up to a 1x9 set up. 38 teeth is right between the 44 and 32 toothed rings it replaced. Smoother, less complex and lines up with the rear gearing better than the 44 tooth ring did.

Works perfect. Converted 1 year old xt 10 speed to 1x with 30t and Wolftooth. No other items needed. No skipping and gearing is perfect for me.

Just the right size for flat o slight incline. must combine with 42T sprockets.

Just added a 30T to my 1x9 set up on a Full Suspension 29er. I have a 650B and Fat Bike running 30T NW on 1x10s using Clutch Type 2 SRAM RDs and they have never dropped on me even on the most gnarly trails. So I had a 32T normal chain ring on my 1x9 using a bash and N gauge jump stop, but the 32T ring with a 9 Speed combined with a full sus just never felt right on some trails. So after loving my other 2 30T NW rings I figured let me give it a go. My set up is a XMC 9 Speed Chain, Shimano XT Rapid Rise RD, FSA Gap Crankset, Shimano Deore Shifter and a Deore Cassette. I dropped the Jump Stop and Bash off the crankset and just left on the 30T NW ring, I took out 2 links to clean up the chain slack and headed out for some testing. After 18 miles of single track and not once did it drop, I had wondered if I would get one drop since I am using a normal style RD and I can say with out a doubt even when I tried to get it to drop I wasnt able to. So its safe to say that even with out a clutch style RD you can run these with out using a bash or a chain guide. These are well worth the money, the 1x10 set up has been a dream and makes gearing cake. You never have to worry about matching RPMs when coming into a climb or descents. I have been using 2 other NW rings and they are wearing great just like any other well made chain ring. If you are going for a simple setup with the added bonus of dropping some weight off the bike then snag one of these. I will be swapping my other 2x setups over to 1xs each week!
