I'm beyond happy with their oval chain ring!  

Their 16T sprocket, less so...

 

I have to agree, they are not 100% true.

I have a 16, 17 and an 18T and the 18T is very far from round, it has a egg like wobble to it.

 

Ive just ordered more now for my singlespeed and I seriously hope they are a lot better than before, I guess Ill see when my stuff gets delivered. 

Placed my order on Thursday morning.

I thought my cog was just from A bad batch , hopefully it will get sorted.

 

None of their other products have ever given me problems

Sounds like a bad batch. I am using the 18 and 20T cogs. No anomalies here.

I use Wayne's goodies a lot and never ever had bad service or a lack of willingness to assist.

Must just be one of those can happen to anyone kinda bad batches.

Wayne certainly a great guy

Hi hubbers,

 

Going in for the Rapide NW Ultralight 32T chainring, so while on their site I was looking at handlebars as well and I noticed that they have the Rapidé ControlStick 750c Carbon Flat Bars at R990 and also the Rapidé Rize-R 780 Bars at R279, I was looking for some advice. Firstly would it be better to take the carbon bars? Secondly if I grab the 780mm bars should I be looking at a new stem as well? Not sure how to measure it but my stem is 70mm to the start of the handlebars and 110mm all through.

 

Any advice would be appreciated.

Both will get the job done BUT

 

Alloy is nice and cheap

 

And Carbon will save a few grams as well as help with taking away some trail chatter by flexing A tiny bit
