Ramped and pinned chainrings
How important is it in the grand scheme of the universe to have a ramped and pinned outer chainring?
If I'm just toodling around, not racing, not going more than a century, am I gonna be sad having a simple chainring? Is the simple ring going to wear out my chain faster, or stress my derailleur, or anything like that?
(my cogs are ramped and sexy Shimano Hyperglide hot-patooties, which seems more important since I shift around on the cogs a lot more than I do between the two front chainrings)
