Interesting. I'll play devil's advocate: for $12 I'd try it, personally. Heck, I'd buy 2 for the shipping cost. I could see potential for problems, but not consequential ones.
If it breaks, you're in your low gear and therefore going slow anyway. Use your middle ring to limp home. The chain might ride up on the bolt head if it protrudes much beyond the face of the ring, but would that really cause problems? Maybe you'd feel it in your cadence, but not as much as, say an oval ring. ( though even biopace used a round granny ring...). I can't think what it would hurt mechanically, unless it caused the chain to wear slightly faster. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
