On a drivetrain with a steel chain and steel cogs, why wouldn't you want to use a steel chainring? Most chainrings on the market are made from aluminum, which is 35% softer than stainless steel. A softer metal means a shorter lifespan. Enter the Surly Stainless Steel chainring, made from 304 grade stainless. You can now have an all-steel drivetrain that will love you long time. Stainless, as it''s name implies, is a rust and corrosion-resistant alloy steel that is known for it''s toughness. Like all things mechanical, it will eventually wear out. When it does, simply flip the chainring around and you''ll get another lifespan out of it.
The Surly stainless steel chainring is ideal for single-speed, fixed gear or tandem timing chain applications. It is not ramped or pinned for shifting assistance, so shifting will be a bit slower if using these with a front derailleur.
The 94bcd,104bcd and 110bcd x 34/35/36t chainrings are made with a 2.2-2.3mm thick stock plate and work best with 5-8 speed chains. Many folks are using these on 9 speed drivetrains but this can often results in a "tight fit" right out of the box (This will loosen up and shifting should improve after the chain breaks in). The 110bcd 38-50t and all 130bcd chainrings are machine finished to have a 2.1mm tooth thickness and thus work fine with 9spd chains.
- No ramps or shift gates
- Made from 304 stainless

Q.
asked by: a guest
Can you recommend any cranks that are compatible with this chainring?
A.
anwered by: canteau
This chainring will fit in the middle position of most of the triple mountain bike cranks produced from the late 90's through the early 2020's. Some of the newer mountain cranks are moving to a 96mm BCD to work with smaller chainrings.
Race Face, FSA and TruVativ are going to be some of the more popular cranks that come in the 104mm BCD.

A GuestI just put this on my Karate Monkey. Works great and I really like that it is steel. I've only had it on for a couple of weeks so I don't know how it will wear although I expect to get a long life especially since it can be flipped the other way for twice the life. My only complaint is that my Karate Monkey came with an aluminum ring not this one.

A GuestAbsolutely great chain ring! Stout and will last a long time compared to the Aluminum rings.
I suggest rotating / flipping the chain ring occasionally to extend life (been doing this a long time on my singe speeds & dirtbike with good success).
Thanks to Tree Fort Bikes- BEST customer service on the web!
