Soft?

I used this ring bikepacking on the Colorado trail, on two occasions my chain came off while climbing, I noticed after that slivers of the teeth had come off with the chain. Surprised to see that.

Good service, but no local pick up

All was good with the purchase and delivery was quick. However, it would have been even better if there was a local pick up option. I had to pay $15 for the delivery of a chain ring from North Vancouver to North Vancouver, which is unnecessary.
