Wouldnt know, for twelve squid they seem OK but I would imagine they only come in a BCD to match Blackspire downhill cranks

I spoke to the chaps at goldtec last week, they are doing a run of reversable track rings soon

The ones I have seen are considerably more expensive than £12. These are 144mm Track rings, as used by British Cycling apparently though I am not expecting them to make me go like Shanaze Reade.

I haven't used the track rings - but I have one of their cheapo DH rings on my fixed - it has worked excellently for approaching 5,000 miles.

I just hope the track rings aren't as ugly...

*googles*

Ah well.

I would wait for the goldtec ones, they have done rings for british cycling as well so I cant see them being bad

Condors own brand pimpy rings are made by goldtec as well, and sold at a considerable mark up I would imagine
