Doesn't it seem sort of silly that you would drill a million holes in
a chainring to make them as light as possible and then stick steel
magnets on them? On 1 x's I suppose the problem is going to be chain
retention what with very wide rear cog ratios nd no front derailleur
to hold them in place. But don't you think a plastic retention cage
would both work better and be lighter?


Or just taller teeth on the chainring.
