I got a Rotor 3D inpower chainset recently for the commutor bike and fitted a QX1 42T chainring for 1x11 using a Campagnolo Chorus rear mech and the ring is rubbish. The chain drops frequently when changing down and hitting a potthole this morning. I have a Garbaruk ring on another orad bike and it is noiser in the extremes because the wide teeth are wider than on the rotor ring but it never drops a chain with a record RD.

I am going to have to buy a Garbaruk ring now.

Anyone else had the same?

    yep.

    Same here. Had to fit a chainguide to stop it dropping. The NW thing isn't enough to stop it dropping. Not with a non-clutch mech, and I've tried a few chains.

    I still run it though, as I like the 12.5% ovality over the the ~10% for other rings.
