Croglet Posted January 23, 2022 Posted January 23, 2022 (edited) Hi, I picked up a replacement chainring on the classifieds that I thought was the correct part for my mtb but now I'm not so sure. I was looking for a 32T X-Sync2 3mm offset for 12-speed Eagle GX. Which I think is what I got but they certainly aren't the same thing. From what I can tell the difference is that one is aluminium and one is steel? What difference is that going to make? Is it a weight thing or would one wear faster than the other? This is what is on my bike right now... And this is what I got to replace it... Edited January 23, 2022 by Croglet
Croglet Posted January 23, 2022 Author Posted January 23, 2022 Think I've answered my own question. One is steel the other is cold forged aluminium which is slightly lighter but also slightly less durable. Really not the end of the world.
Steady Spin Posted January 23, 2022 Posted January 23, 2022 Steel for me always. Alu lasts about the same time as a chain at R750 a pop. Croglet and DieselnDust 2
BaGearA Posted January 23, 2022 Posted January 23, 2022 yes you got steel , will perform the same as alloy and should last slightly longer but significantly heavier DieselnDust 1
