Product Description

It's not compatible with the SRAM 8 - bolt interface. Using a clutch - style rear derailleur is a good idea.

Using this chainring is quite straightforward. First, make sure your SRAM crank has a 3 - bolt mounting style. If you're using a 9 - speed drivetrain, use a 10 - speed chain for a better fit. When installing, align the chainring properly with the crank and tighten the bolts securely. Remember, this chainring is not compatible with Shimano 12 - speed chains or the SRAM 8 - bolt interface. For maintenance, after each ride, especially if you've ridden in muddy conditions, clean the chainring with a mild detergent and water. Dry it thoroughly to prevent rust. Using a clutch - style rear derailleur can help keep the chain in place and reduce the risk of it falling off. Check the chainring regularly for signs of wear, and if the teeth start to look worn, it's time to replace it.
