I found this Lithuanian company while loking for some narrow wide chainrings for my 1 X 10 setup:

Anybody heard about them ?
They seem to have a lot of possibilities ( well technically...)

I sent them a message.

It's owned by french native Cédric Henriot. Basically a one man company from what I can understand. He claims his chainrings's quality is way above Wolf Tooth and Race face.

Lol...how does he prove the quality?

His frames look like open mold ones.

The chainrings are a silly design, the inner ring adds no strength so is a waste of weight! Style over function.

Also silly how little material he has left around the chainring holes.
Good thing it's cheap (well Chinese rings on ebay cost the same) and I would probably buy such a ring for commuter if I had 1x10 system, but for racing machine I still prefer proven Garbaruk rings :)
