46T 1/8" 130BCD rings wanted. Are there any actually 1/8"??
Last winter I got a 175mm SS Sugino crankset. It came with a 48T that isn't even 3/32. WTF. It's like a 9 speed baby rattle!!!
I have been using a White Ind. set up for 6 years. I thought they were 1/8", no such luck, at least a full 3/32".
This is for a Rohloff heavyweight and a SA XL-RD5w I just restored to good shifting.
Can I trust these suppliers to sell actual 1/8" ???
Is TA Alize better than a cheaper Sugino one?

And while I'm at it, What's the deal with wolf tooth?? Supposedly alternating 1/8" and 3/32". Won't the teeth wear unevenly? Are they I good idea?

Looks like shipping is closed from the US from Ben's and with USPS anyway. I found the Sugino part at Ben's cycle online.
Canadian sites don't seem to have direct online sales.
I'll have to find Europe or start e-mailing.

So I just ordered a 44T and 46T silver Gebhardt rings, from VeloSolo in UK, $131.5 Cdn. Shipping is only 14 Gbp, so who knows when it will get here.
Performance shipping from Beaverton was near $50, Pffft. And they only had a 46T.
Are these as good as Sugino? The Gebharts look stronger with a solid 1" band of metal.
My White Ind cranks have 24,000 miles and the hole is wearing crooked now. And it's dragging my DIY CF chaincase.
Maybe I can make the opening smaller now. It's 6 damn inches now.
I was thinking Surly had 1/8" steel, but it appears not.
