So I can speak to durability. High-end steel wins at least 6x over \(my experience based on Wolftooth\) but at a weight penalty \(the higher initial $$$ investment easily covers itself\).
I can’t say I’ve ridden every aluminum narrow/wide aluminum ring on the market. But I do think there are lots of companies who could challenge that there rings are as quiet, shed mud as well, and last as long.
Not saying I’d swap an Eagle ring out that came on my crankset \(sizing aside\) - they’re great - but I wouldn’t immediately buy one as a replacement at any cost with lots of great options out there.
If they work best for you \(and you love SRAM cranks\) then combined with the promise of better BB life that’s an obviously winning package.
Thanks for engaging!
