"The beauty of chainrings is that they wear out, generally after a few seasons depending on how you ride, which means they are a perfect opportunity to give your old bike some new bling. At $75 a pop, they aren't exactly cheap. But the precision of these machined-in-Colorado 7075 chainrings is on point, and Wheels Mfg has a long record of making solid, long-lasting components."
"Wheels offers the rings in 2 direct mount standards, the 4 sizes that make sense for most mountain bike riders, 2 different narrow-wide tooth profiles to work with most chains, 7 shiny colors, and multiple offsets to get the perfect setup for your bike."
Bikerumor's Shifting Gear series highlights products that haven't received full reviews yet but deserve attention. This installment features various components tested on a Sour Crumble steel trail hardtail, including a Wheels Manufacturing Shimano direct mount chainring. Chainrings wear out after several seasons, making them ideal upgrade opportunities. Wheels Manufacturing's US-made 7075 aluminum chainrings, machined in Colorado, offer precision engineering and durability. Available in two direct mount standards, four sizes suitable for most mountain bikes, two narrow-wide tooth profiles, seven colors, and multiple offsets, these chainrings provide customization options. At $75 each, they represent a mid-range investment for riders seeking quality component upgrades.
