First Look: 5DEV's Titanium Chainring Promises 3x the Durability
I thing longevity is really fucntion of how much work you push through the chain. Chainrings arte ususlaly messed up mostly by stretched chains. In reality chain is way bigger problem I for example am am replacing the chain every 2-3 mounts average, which 5-6 chains per year. This is for XX1 chain. ~$90 after the 10% discount + the Cali tax at sports basement. It last between 500-800 miles depending on how much I climb. So in reality can be a month of biking. I see people are getting 2000 miles out of chain but those are probably on a downhill bike!
