How many miles on your SRAM Narrow Wide Chain Ring?
I'm right at 2000 miles and noticed my SRAM chainring is getting a bit noisy (grinding sound).
After I gave the chain a nice soaking and noise is mostly gone.
About how many miles can I expect from a 1X SRAM narrow-wide chainring?
PS: I love my 1X setup.....I have never once dropped a chain.

I have 6000+ on Rival CX1.
It's my winter - foul weather bike so I change the chain every season, about 1500 miles. I only clean it once in the middle of the winter so I put on 750 filthy miles between cleaning. Chainring and cassette are fine.

Parts go when parts go, but I'd expect to get a lot more than 2,000 miles out of a chainring. I have a SRAM GX Eagle drivetrain on my Surly Ogre with a 1x Wolf Tooth chainring. 6,000 miles on it so far and still plenty of life left.

Chainring life depends almost totally on how worn you let your chain get before changing it. Same for cassettes.

I was very religious about cleaning because I used it to commute on gritty crushed limestone trails.
