Wow... with magnet retention :D
The narrow-wide is enough to keep the chain on usually.

I would be surprised such tiny magnets have any effect on the chain, but adding weight and probably loosing some while riding.
That would be interesting to try if you like !

I've always wondered if a strong magnet (such as one from an obsolete hard drive) would help activate lights on an induction loop-maybe the magnetic chainring helps with this as well.
