Quality

Quality is without doubt one of the most important factors that we consider when buying bikes, parts, accessories or clothing. As you’d imagine it’s especially important when buying Chainrings. Let’s take at a look at the sort of things you can look at when trying to ascertain the quality of Blackspire Snaggletooth DM Sram Chainring.

The first thing is material. Looking at what Blackspire Snaggletooth DM Sram Chainring is made of will give you a really good idea of the quality overall. Take a look at the specs above and you should be able to see the material. It’s then up to you to decide if it meets your expectation.

Similarly you’ll also want to spend some time looking at the features too. Again the table above, listing the features will give you a really good overview. However you should think about the sort of features that you’d expect when buying new Chainrings. It’s worth writing a list of the “must-have” features so that you don’t end up compromising and missing some important features, or alternatively end up buying an unnecessarily high specced product.

There’s also a lot of merit in checking out the brand of the product and looking at the various brands that are selling Chainrings. Brands like Blackspire are of courses extremely well respected in the cycling community so you know you’re getting a fantastic product with them. But if you’re undecided on your product you should write up a list of brands that you’d be happy to buy. It’s a great way of filtering and narrowing down the number of products when you’re searching.

Next up you’ll want to think about the price and use that as a guide to set your expectations of the quality. If you’re buying the cheapest of the options in the Chainrings category you should probably expect it to not be of as good quality as the most expensive. It sounds obvious of course. But this is where you can get a bit clever and use your combination of features, specs, materials and other factors to work together to get a really good quality product at the best price. We often draw up a list of “must-haves” and use these as filters when shopping online so that you’re only seeing products that meet your criteria. You can then sort by Price>Low to get the best deals.


Comparing Prices

Price, as you would imagine, is the most popular reason for someone buying one product over another. It is the single most important factor in choosing the majority of products we buy. The same goes for Chainrings.

It’s at this stage of the buying process, when you’re looking at different options, that you should set a budget. Do some research to understand how much roughly you can expect to pay for the sort of level of product that you’re looking for. Then match that to your own personal circumstance and how much you can afford to spend. This will really help you in narrowing down the right product for you.

Blackspire Snaggletooth DM Sram Chainring Reviews

Reading reviews is an amazing way of getting a good feel for a product without actually being able to try it or see it first.

There are two different types of reviews, and we also recommend reading both.

1. Expert reviews – In the cycle industry there are loads of really reliable trusted resources for expert reviews. For example if you’re looking to buy a new bike, BikeRadar Bike Reviews are great.

2. Customer reviews – these are probably your best resource for information. There’s no finances or influence involved, they’re purely just honest reviews from customers that have bought and used the product. The reason we love customer reviews so much is because no matter if their view is good or bad, there’s a very good chance that it will be honest and unbiased.

Our best advice is to head over to Chain Reaction Cycles and read the Blackspire Snaggletooth DM Sram Chainring reviews there.

  • Description: Blackspire Snaggletooth DM SRAM Chainring – BOOSTThe Blackspire Snaggletooth chainring uses the Snaggletooth narrow/wide tooth profile that effectively grips the chain as it rotates around the chainring: say goodbye to dropped chains!Chain RetentionThe Snaggletooth profile is so effective at stopping the possibility of the chain from dropping when used with a modern day clutch derailleur, that you will no longer need to consider mounting a chainguide to keep chain retention at its maximum.Direct Mount DesignSince your front derailleur and chainguide are no longer needed, taking them off your bike will deliver weight savings. Blackspire has taken this a step further by making the new Snaggletooth chainring compatible with the SRAM GXP Direct Mount system, eliminating the need to use a chainring spider; once again, shaving even more weight.Offset SpacingTo provide the correct chainline spacing that a traditional chainring spider provides for efficient shifting across the cassette, this chainring has been designed with a 3mm offset, providing a perfect 52mm chainline. The 3mm offset creates the perfect chain alignment between the chainring and cassette, ensuring that pedalling efficiency across the entire range of the cassette ratio is smooth and quiet; meaning the chain creates as little tooth wear on the cassette sprockets as possible.Features:Material: 7075-T6 AluminiumThickness: 7.95mmFinish: AnodisedOffset: 3mm (52mm chainline)Drivetrain Speed: 9, 10, 11 and 12-speedCompatibility: SRAM GXP Direct Mount cranks, Blackspire Badger A & C cranksTo be used with Boost+ spaced framesWeight: From 57g (28t) to 80g (32t)Please Note: For use with a 9-speed drivetrain, a 10-speed chain must be used.Buy Blackspire Components from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World’s Largest Online Bike Store.
