On that note, I wonder if it's any more likely that a third party would make compatible wide-narrow rings. I have noticed there are at least one or two other direct-mount wide-narrow ring manufacturers out there, making rings for SRAM's XO/1x11 system, but I guess the demand is much higher for that than WI stuff. I know Home Brewed Components used to make aftermarket rings, but from what I gather that company is basically non-existant now. Of course I would way rather buy direct from White. Their stuff has always been great and I'd prefer to support them directly.
