 I would gladly pay you for the equivalent of this:
www.wolftoothcomponents.com/collections/stainless-steel/products/camo-stainless-steel-elliptical-chainring

I have a oneup chainring and spider that I run during summer, but I have been eating at least three chainrings a year, mostly during winter and shoulder season, so I am using a cheap, heavy steel SRAM right now too for winter. I would _love_ to have something a bit more durable, even if it doubled the price. When a chainring wears that fast, you also eat the chain and cassette as a side effect as the chain wears to match the worn teeth on the ring.

edit; I live/ride on the sunshine coast, BC, so similar/same climate as Squamish. Surprised that we don't see more durable chainring options here, since our granite-dust and wetness are just death for drivetrains.

 I've got nothing against your components but my money is always going to be spent on a Sram narrow wide. As far as I know they're the only company doing a steel narrow wide and it far outlasts the competition so it's a no brainer for me... I even modified my cranks to fit the 94bcd sizing! If only more companies made their rings in steel, but I guess alluminium wears out faster so the companies make more mulla... Call me cynical Wink

 @CaseVentura: left that comment for one up to pick up, not you sarcy marky Wink Haters gonna hate, I'm just saying it how it is. Aluminium wears out too fast to be used for a chain ring and given that I can pick up a steel narrow wide that will probably last as long as my bike for just £15... Why the heck wouldn't I? Other manufacturers are missing a trick here, or are they?
