Gates Carbon Drive Front Sprocket

Love the Belt Drive

If you are going with a belt system, these are really your only option. So far the performance of the system is fantastic... but my sprocket is slightly bent and has been ever since it was first mounted.

Not sure if it is a manufacturing defect, or mishandled somewhere along the way.

But it is mounted and spinning smoothly

Pros: It's a Belt Drive... look it up!

Cons: It came out of the shipping box twisted, but still works.

Well made

I purchased a 50T ring to allow a better gear range and to optimize the tensioning range in the rear - as part of a conversion from belt drive SS to belt drive Alfine 8 speed.
These chainrings are well made, but are bloody expensive. I do hope they offer the longevity to offset the cost. So far, so good.

Pros: well made

Cons: very expensive at the moment.
