The problem is that as you wear the chai. You wear the chainring and if you leave this too long it wears the cassette which accelerated the wear of the chain.

if you rotate the chain you should swap Out the chain ring too unless it’s a steel unit. 
swapping out the chain or chain religion as Droo calls it means you swap out a chain every other week or so.

to me the chain ring wear is a factor in chain life so that should be swapped out too or it will just wear two chains faster

 

Thank you.

 

Would a steel chain ring thus be a better option on an ebike, where the weight penalty is not an issue ?

 

Where would one get such a steel chain ring ?

 

 

OR ... simply replace chains at the first sign of 0,25 ....

36 tooth 104 bcd, (11 speed, narrow wide)

 

Might be tempted to go for a 38 tooth

Ok if 104 BCD then this one should work fine

https://praxiscycles.com/product/ering-steel-mtn-1x-104bcd/

or

https://www.wolftoothcomponents.com/products/104-bcd-stainless-steel-chainrings but only 30T and 32T options

 

SRAM has one too but I don't see it on the CapeCycles website
