DJC Bike Chainring 12s Direct Mount Chainring for Shimano M6100 M7100 M8100 M8130 M9100 M9120 Mt900 XTR SLX

I love the design, specially i can’t afford XTR crankset so i bought this chainring HAHA and put it on XT crank set, safe to use and worth it to buy

Fits perfectly replacing aluminum spider and steel chainring that came stock on Shimano XT M8100 crank set (1 x 12 setup). Shifts perfectly with SRAM AXS cassette and chain. Very good machining quality and finish for a very fair price.This one-piece aluminum chainring is easier to install compared to messing with 8 chainring bolts. Weight for the one I received was 66 grams - 2 grams lighter than advertised. Stock Shimano XT ring and spider is about 116 grams so this is nearly half. Unlikely this will last as long as the original steel chainring but that's really the only negative, other than the strange name.

Look and finish is great! Feels like some weight savings over a standard steel chainring, but did not weigh it to verify. Fit my new Shimano SLX cranks nice and snug. Not too tight, and not too loose, just right. The chainring offset matches what came off my bike perfectly. The only thing I noticed was some drivetrain efficiency loss. There was noticeable drag on the chain when first installed. It has worn in a bit, and feels better, but still not as smooth as the steel chainring it replaced. This can be because of a couple reasons. 1 the machining tolerance for chain pitch could be very, very slightly off. 2 It could be the rather aggressive teeth profile of alternating high low. The tooth profile is to help alleviate chain drop. This profile is common on the single speed chainrings, but the height on the taller teeth seems taller than most. This could be causing the feeling of more drag. Overall I'm happy with it, as it's a much more affordable alternative to the big name brands. The machining on these looks great too. This is definitely a functional item that added a bit of bling. The efficiency issue seems to work itself out with some wear. With that said, it only took a few rides, which tells me this chainring may not last very long, but too soon to know for sure. Meantime it looks great, and I can buy a couple of these, even try different teeth count, for less than one of the expensive brands.

This sprocket is well made and seems like it’ll last a long time. It was a great fit.

Needed a knew one for my bike and this made the cut.

I found this chain ring to be super light. The center feels like it may actually be made of plastic its so light!Aside from the light weight, it installed easily and has performed just fine for my first ride. I'll update this review eventually when the teeth wear out and it needs to be replaced.Great value as compared to the OEM part.

I needed a 38-tooth front chainring for my gravel bike that has a Shimano Deore 12 speeds group set. The problem is Shimano charges $150 for their 38 tooth chainring compatible with a 6100 crankset. I personally think that's a giant scam considering what you actually get is of similar or equal quality to this one. This chainring looks just as nice and has held strong to months of hard riding and for that I'm thankful it exists, so much so ill likely buy another one soon just in case.
