Also my scenario with my LHT is very similar with around 30,000 miles. My shifting is not horrible but my middle Sugino chainring is starting to form shark tooth. It looks like the replacement Sugino chainring is $70 and the Surly is $35

Sugino Chainring Material: AL-2014
vs
Surly Chainring Material: 304 stainless

Anyone have any experience with these Surly Chainrings?

I run a Surly SS middle chainring on my Trek 520. I can honestly say that it lasts easily 3x as long as an aluminum chainring. I've never had a problem with shifting with bar ends.
