Direct Mount Chainring - 40t DM CINCH For Shimano 12-Speed HG+ Compatible Chain BLK

The EA90 SL alloy chainring is perfect for road, cyclocross, and gravel bikes. It features an optimized tooth profile that ensures excellent chain retention, even on rough terrain. The new narrow/wide directional tooth design further enhances chain stability. This chainring is designed to reduce drivetrain friction in 1x applications. It's compatible with Shimano Hyperglide+ 12-speed chains and drivetrains. With the Cinch System spline and a 47mm chainline, it offers a great fit. Weighing only 90g for the 40t size, it's lightweight. It's a single (anti-chain drop) round ring in black color, mounted with Cinch DM.

Using this chainring is straightforward. First, make sure your bike's drivetrain is compatible with Shimano 12 - speed systems. Then, install the chainring using the Cinch DM mount. The chain should fit smoothly onto the teeth. When riding, you'll notice better chain retention, especially on bumpy roads. As for maintenance, regularly clean the chainring with a mild bike cleaner and a soft brush. After cleaning, dry it thoroughly to prevent rust. Check the chain and chainring for wear and tear periodically. If you notice any signs of excessive wear, it's time to replace them. Also, keep the chain properly lubricated to ensure smooth operation and to minimize friction.
