Amanda Carey has dominated the National Ultra Endurance (NUE) Series the last two years. She’s on track to take the title again. These are 100 mile races and she rides the WickWerks MTB 2×10 40/26 Rings on a Race Face Next crank. The 40t certainly helps on a long ride.More

A direct comparison between WickWerks rings and SRAM XX on the same bike from a Kenda/Felt professional racer and cycling coach, Drew Edsall.More
A ‘Cross Racer and Media Technical Reviewer from the Chicago area took a wack at the WickWerks 44/34t chainrings to see what they’d do. His article details are, as he says appealing to the “most geeky of bike geeks” as he goes into lots of detail about his bike set-up and challenges with associated components like the front derailleur. Anyway, Sweet had this to say about WickWerks chainrings:More
Bottom Line: Fantastic products, fantastic company. Chris Wicks owns it and runs the show. He takes care of his customers. If you’re tired of poor shifting through your front chain rings then this will fix it.More
Bottom Line: I haven’t ridden these chainrings for very long, but I wanted to write a review while the memory of my old rings is still somewhat fresh.
These chainrings are absolutely brilliant! (no, I’m not British, just hear me out…).

Favorite Trail: Skyline
Duration Product Used: 3 months
Purchased At: WickWerks
Strengths: Fast, accurate, repeated shifts, Nice looks ,Light weight
Weaknesses: None identified so far
Similar Products Used: Shimano (XTR, XT, SLX), BlackSpire
Bike Setup: Titus Fireline Exogrid 29er custom with XT
Bottom Line: When I first used these rings I thought they were just as good as Shimano (my highest praise for chainrings) but I am beginning to think that perhaps they are even better. There is never any complaint from the front derailleur during a shift – it just happens.
I can’t remember a single missed shift nor a single overshift incident (which does happen with Shimano rings on occasion).

Favorite Trail: Goose Berry Mesa
Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month
Strengths: The Rings shift incredibly fast. Low profile teeth make the rolling resistance really low. They also feel a lot stiffer than my previous rings which is also a huge plus. The ring set is lighter than xtr.
Bottom Line: These rings are easily the best rings on the market without a doubt. lighter faster and stiffer than anything else out there. definitely the ringset for those who are looking for the maximum competitive edge and even for those that seek maximum performance out of their machine.

Wick Werks Radically Ramped Chainrings: Strong, light, reliable, and effective.
