It's really good. No flexing and half the price of a zen ring with the same amount of teeth.

nice. actually just bought a zen ring haha but i'll definitely keep them in mind if i need a different toothcount

Lucky! I couldn't afford a 52t zen in black so that was my compromise. But yeah check them out for cheaper options.

i can't get over bareknuckles with wound-ups, it looks so good! was considering selling my bolt to get this setup.

such a nice ride. all my previous builds were aluminum but steel with a carbon fork makes for a really nice ride

This is a legit set up! Amazing build. I've been looking for a bareknuckle in this color. What year is it and where did you get it? :)

Thanks! The paintjob is a custom powdercoat done by the previous owner; sort of a gunmetal that sparkles in the sunshine. I bought it from someone locally.
