OrgasmDonor:
it should fit most old school rings, i had one on my pro-neck chain ring, but it wont fit the wider newschool freewheels only the thinner toothed suntour etc

Gary72:
I had a problem with a Sugino ring not fitting, might be OK with the machined teeth version?

With the Suntour chainrings... I'm running 2 x 44t Sugino rings on my 2 Leary Turbo's.
One with a D.i.d 3/32 and one with an Izumi 3/32 and both fit fine with no issues. These are one of the Sugino chainring types tho... :-X
I think with anything there'll always be discrepencies.    :daumenhoch:   G.

It's easy to spot an early Redline wheel, the teeth start from the back of the chain wheel, and are machined from the front only. The later type are machined on both sides of the teeth.
