Bash rings.
Top left stock fitted to bike, no name thin Alu ring common fitment on Truvativ and other brands at the time.
Top right, Black Spire Ring God :) burly 6mm Alu plate. I used to run 32t up front and this was sized for 32-34t chunky and durable and made in the homeland of Freeride and North Shore.
Bottom left, Shimano Saint, plastic, chunky looks but light, came as a set with the 36t chainring. The bash ring would only fit Saint cranks and requires filing to fit others. An example of Shimano making things to only fit there product lines.
Bottom right, Gamut, came with chain device or on it's own, simple light strong and years after I got the SX Gamut became an OEM supplier to Specialized so kinda looks stock as later models came fitted with them.
