Just in case you read the article before it was edited and are skipping to the
comments:
I meant this photo caption to be entirely tongue-in-cheek:
"A brand new Eagle X-Sync ring. Whether it’s the result of some drunken
whittling or SRAM is just taking the piss out of the all the aftermarket
narrow wide chainring manufacturers (“Copy this A-holes!”) it works great."
The new X-Sync ring is, hopefully, obvious to everyone the product of a lot of
work to improve on the original, which kicked off an entire industry of narrow
wide chainrings.
This editors note sums it up really nicely:
"NOTE – We want to make it clear that we don’t actually believe the tooth
design was a result of whittling, neither drunken nor sober. That was meant to
be comic relief. The design was the result of analysis of thousands of worn
X-sync rings and is designed to ” to work perfectly with the new Eagle™ chain
to increase chain retention and overall pedaling efficiency, while decreasing
friction, noise and wear” according to SRAM. – Ed."
Thanks for reading everybody!
