Is anyone using one, if so what's your opinions?

I noticed they don't come with a chain ring and I'm planning on fitting it to a 1x10 set up but all the SRAM xsync rings seems to be 11spd. Is this an issue, Will an 11spd chainring be ok on a 10spd set up?

Can't run 11spd rings with 10spd chain I'm afraid, but you can change the ring to suit. just buy a normal 10 speed narrow wide chain ring with the size you need and install. just make sure the pcd of the bolt holes are the same as the crank

Ok, that makes sense - thanks.

It does get confusing though as I'm assuming this chainring will work (its the right bcd and narrow) but listed as being '9/10/11 Speed Compatible!'

Be careful, my XO rings are threaded and are a different PCD from normal narrow wide rings, hence i dont run them. check the PCD of yours before ordering.
From memory mine is a 120 BCD and standard are 104. (or visa versa)

The SRAM X01 DH cranksets are listed as 94 BCD - just to makes things even more confusing

May have a rethink although I do like them carbon parts....

Could buy a direct fit ring to solve the issue, look at works one for example

Hmmmm now theres an idea, I've never even seen direct fit before - ingenious
