I don't use it all that much, but when ya' need one ya' need one! I've run both and if you don't use it that much, I'd probably opt for the least expensive. In general small rings live a short, brutal life - more use cycles, high torque. Add into that the abrasive aspect of fine trail dust and it's good not to get emotionally attached to any of them... - J -- Jim Edgar cyclofi...@earthlink.net ³Velvet pillows, safari parks, sunglasses: people have become woolly mice.
