Meezo Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 No. NW is unnecessary on a SS.Yes, but i was given a NW chainring. Thanks @BogusOns And ditto what copperhead says! Anyway I'm going to change the rear cog/sprocket , again thanks @BogusOne. @BogusOne Bud your help and assistance is irreplaceable! We can learn millions from this man and not just he's skill and talents
Ryanpmb Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 Correct BUT I find the NW lasts longer than a normal for much the same price. Chainring cost me R280...
Ryanpmb Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 (edited) And ditto what copperhead says! Interested to know how many kms you've done on the NW vs a standard SS chainring before replacing? Edited December 9, 2014 by Ryanpmb
Pieter1 Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 Interested to know how many kms you've done on the NW vs a standard SS chainring before replacing?Not sure about km's but I have had mine on for about three years now. It is a Gusset chainring. Suppose I sould replace it but the chain doesnt slip or anything...

Suppose I sould replace it but the chain doesnt slip or anything... Gusset - I'm assuming this a standard SS chainring? Not a NW. I've found normal SS chain rings to be cheaper than NW and work really well (for the purpose they intended). NotSoBigBen 1
Meezo Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 Interested to know how many kms you've done on the NW vs a standard SS chainring before replacing?My standard one i replaced did 9900kms. Give me a year to confirm mileage but definitely on price the NW wins
SimpleDom Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 Can you also flip the standard rings around like you can for NW?
Ryanpmb Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 Where where? Sometime ago on special from a local online store. Looking now though, SS chainrings are around R400. NW come in around R700. This is comparing the same brand (not really apples with apples comparing a Dartmoor or Blackspire to one of these local NW brands until we know the longevity of these).
the nerd Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 (edited) Correct BUT I find the NW lasts longer than a normal for much the same price. Not to doubt you but i disagree, NW rings are a pretty recent thing... how many KM's have you done on a NW vs a proper SS ring (Mono Veloce and the like)? I have never replaced my front chainring in nearly 5 years... Edited December 9, 2014 by the nerd Ryanpmb 1
