Review: Easiest way to convert to 1x drivetrain - Summary: Like others have said, if you are going back and forth on this chain ring, or can't decide, just buy it already! Chain ring installed easily and I was out on the trails in no time. I didn't want to have to swap out my rear derailleur or cassette, so I went with the 30t chain ring to give me almost the same gear ratio coverage as I had with a 3x10 setup. After riding a couple of times I know there will be some really steep climbs that will be tough in the lowest gear, but the simplicity and cleanliness of the 1x10 setup is well worth the extra effort from time to time. In Depth: I ride a 2012 Trek Fuel EX 8 that came with the standard (at the time) 3x10 setup. I have a non-clutch Shimano XT rear derailleur and an 11-36 cassette. I've always wanted to convert to 1x but couldn't justify pulling off perfectly good parts. I've been away from mountain biking for a couple of years and recently went into a local bike shop. I was blown away that all of the new bikes come with 1x11. My crank was starting to creak and my front derailleur was acting up so I figured it was time to overhaul the crank and I figured I'd convert to 1x10 and save the hassle of trying to get my front derailleur dialed in. I decided on this chain ring because after researching it was the cheapest and simplest way to get a 1x drivetrain. I pulled off the stock deore crank and gave it a good deep cleaning. I removed the chainrings which is pretty simple. I didn't need the special tool to hold the back side of the chain ring bolts (I have enough single use tools so I try to avoid buying them where possible). The Race Face chain ring itself is a very nice piece of equipment. It is very nicely machined and is super lightweight. The red anodized version is beautiful and the graphics aren't too over the top. If you are installing a small ring in front (30-32t), you will almost certainly need to remove your crank to get it on. I wanted to install with the plain side facing out, but mine could only be installed with the "Race Face" graphics facing out. The raised bolt holes fit perfectly into the crank. I was also able to reuse 4 of the stock bolts I removed earlier. I was afraid I was going to have to buy longer bolts but didn't need to. I installed the crank, shortened the chain a little bit (i think it was 2 or 4 links) and was ready to go. First time I rode this I was blown away at the reduction in chain slap and other drive train noises I had gotten used to. I was concerned because I don't have one of the new clutched derailleurs, but the chain hasn't come off or slipped once. I've been riding a lot of technical single track with roots and rocks and the chain stays on perfectly. It will make a little bit of chain noise when you get into the largest or smallest cog in the back but that's pretty typical. I'm happy I chose the 30t too. After using an online gear ratio calculator I realized I was only losing my top 2 and bottom 2 gears. I can live without those especially with how much cleaner and simpler my bike is. All in all this is a great piece and I'd highly recommend it to anyone on the fence. I was amazed that I could convert to 1x for only $40 and am so glad I did. Review: No chain drops! - I have ridden a good many miles on this on two different drivetrain setups. On the first setup, 9sp with SRAM X0 long cage no clutch rear derailleur, it dropped the chain once when I fell off a log in a wierd way. Otherwise it performed flawlessly. There was some chain slap but that has nothing to do with the chain ring. With the new setup, 10sp with SRAM X9 short cage type 2 rear derailleur, it has never dropped the chain and seems even smoother in regards to chain slap. The part is light, high quality and I couldn't find a less expensive solution. The option to get a 30T is great because it helps bridge the gap between a 1X11 (way too expensive) and standard 1X10. I do not miss the higher gear that I never used anyway. ## Features - 7075-T6 aluminum, aerospace grade strength - Weight 50gm (36T) - Compatible for 9, 10 and 11 speed - Narrow Wide tooth profiling ensures ultimate chain retention - Stiff 4mm plate thickness and I-beam construction transfer loads without flexing - Reversible laser etched graphics ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Item Package Dimensions L x W x H | 8.66 x 7.28 x 0.39 inches | | Package Weight | 0.06 Kilograms | | Item Dimensions LxWxH | 7 x 5 x 1 inches | | Item Weight | 0.04 Kilograms | | Brand Name | RaceFace | | Warranty Description | Limited Manufacturer | | Model Name | RaceFace 91-5502 30 | | Color | Black | | Material | 7075-T6 aluminum | | Suggested Users | Does Not Apply | | Number of Items | 1 | | Manufacturer | RaceFace | | Part Number | 91-5502 30 | | Model Year | 2014 | | Included Components | RaceFace 104mm Single Chain Ring, Black, 30T 9/10/11 Speed | | Size | 104mm 30T 9/10/11 Speed | | Sport Type | Cycling | ## Images ![Race Face 104mm Single Chain Ring - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/9165+EPKk1L.jpg) ![Race Face 104mm Single Chain Ring - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81d2Re+9JuL.jpg) ![Race Face 104mm Single Chain Ring - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41DAtkkVtmL.jpg) ![Race Face 104mm Single Chain Ring - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41MCvDOa9IL.jpg) ![Race Face 104mm Single Chain Ring - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41a51nLDWjL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easiest way to convert to 1x drivetrain *by C***R on August 29, 2017* Summary: Like others have said, if you are going back and forth on this chain ring, or can't decide, just buy it already!

The Race Face Narrow-Wide fit the bill perfectly - standard 104BCD, anodized red (my favorite color), and a reasonable price ($40 when I purchased it from Amazon). The "Narrow-Wide" part of the name refers to the tooth design; for each regular chain ring tooth, there is a flatter, wider tooth right next to it. When combined with my SRAM X0 Type-2 derailleur (clutch type) the wide teeth of the Race Face chainring holds onto my chain so well that there is no need for any extra chain guide or chain retaining device. Bonus: for the 30-tooth version, you do not need chain ring nuts and bolts, you just need the bolts because the 30T has threaded mounting holes that serve as the T-nut. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pe/products/1760703-race-face-104mm-single-chain-ring](https://www.desertcart.pe/products/1760703-race-face-104mm-single-chain-ring) --- *Product available on Desertcart Peru* *Store origin: PE* *Last updated: 2026-06-02*
