Ask David millar, it cost him a yellow jersey in 2003

I like the look of the Falco chainring. Any ideas where I can source one from, what options there are and how much it costs? Doesn't seem to feature on the Falco website

Thanks. Right now it's 54T only and 4-arm only with 110 BCD. It's a fun project and there is a run of about a dozen pieces.
We are taking $89 including shipping globally... These are done by the pros of chain rings.

Recently I bought a new frame and hope to be ready in a view weeks. I am thinking to use a single narrow wide ring on the bike. Lot of CX use these singles already and I am wondering if here more people who use a single ring for his road bike.

Today I installed a narrow wide ring on my CX but there was no 36 110mm available. I found somebody who made this narrow wide rings in his factory. He made one for me for 45 euro.
Like I said before, i would to install also one for my Ti bike and thinking about a 44.
I am wondering if somebody has already experiences with one ring and how it will be in a race.
