After a lot of heavy use on my single speed, it shows no noticeable wear. The bolt holes aren't recessed, so it'll be easy to flip around when the time comes. It was a great investment, and a great replacement for the aluminum ring that was on there. That one was shot! I’ve been using a Surly stainless steel chain ring since July.

They have built-in offsets and you can flip those rings to be more in-board or out-board to better tune your chainline.
