I'm struggling to find a genuine Shimano 12 speed chainring to replace the original on my Merida E160 (Shimano E8000 motor).
There's plenty for sale with the carrier at around £90 but I'm just wanting the chainring which should cost half that price. I believe the Shimano steel ring will last longer than an aftermarket one so not interested in a Hope of Wolf Tooth etc.
My LBS has said an 11 speed one will fit but the teeth look slightly different. It's still narrow wide and will bolt onto the spider ok (BCD104) but my concerns are it could cause the chain to wear quicker.
Any advice please?
