Front chain ring source?

[Kingerz]

I'm finding it hard in Australia to source a new front chainring.
The Giant shop's sold out.
It's a Praxis Works Steel eMTB Chainring 36t 104BCD 4-Arm 10 11 12 Speed Fit Shimano.
Would a Narrow/wide version work?

One of these any good ?
I've been using one for about 6 months now , does the job.

Have you tried Bikeinn, they ship to Australia. NArrow-wide definitely a better choice than standard. Myself have a RaceFace NW. Tip: check some manufacturers sites for specs. Some, like Raceface, have optimized chainrings for Shimano. And confirm you order the correct offset, if any.

Since your replacing your chainring you should consider going to a 34T chainring. I have two Giant EMTB's and for some reason Giant puts 36T chainrings on them when almost all other manufactures put 34T chainrings. Any 104BCD chainring will fit the bike.

I just use narrow wide alloy chainrings on my Shimano motor bought on ebay for less than $20 each, change them when you change the chain. Something like this

I have tried the Deckas aluminum chainrings. The material is very soft , I had massive chain suck after only 200kms.
They may be ok on a non e bike with less load. Either way , the steel rings aren't much more money and last for thousands of kms

I'm running them on a Focus Jam2 and yes they wear but no quicker than the chains, mid you we don't ride much when it's wet so there's no grinding paste like when the bike is very muddy. I also use dry wax based lube which dosn't attract dirt like oil based either.
