    I haven't tried the Shift rings but I have run my M-770 cranks with a full set of RaceFace Race Rings Team chainrings. Once I had worn those out, I replaced them with a set of the newer Turbine rings. Both sets shifted fine and lasted longer than the stock Shimano rings. At one point, I was running the Team rings with a steel inner as I found that the alloy granny wore faster than the other rings.

    Just out of curiousity, why the Shift rings?

    Wow - good deal! Especially considering just the set of Race Rings Team Graphics chainrings cost £100 at CRC.

    I had exactly the same setup for about 2 years: XT cranks with a full set of RF Team chainrings. Worked great for me. They will still wear out, as all alloy rings do particularly in muddy conditions, but they shift well and they looked better on my bike than the stock rings, which we all know makes your bike go faster :-)
