Product Description
Easton's Direct Mount CINCH Chainring in sleek black is a game - changer for road, CX, and gravel cycling. Its new narrow/wide design is tailored perfectly for these applications. The tall, direction - specific teeth ensure positive chain roller engagement, crucial for keeping the chain on rough ground. The teeth have extra material removed, reducing noise at cassette extremes and offering great mud - shedding. The CINCH direct mount system saves weight and makes chainring swaps quick and easy. Its directional tooth design provides top - notch chain retention, with variable tooth width. A 47mm chainline with an Easton 129mm spindle is ideal for 135/142mm rear hub spacing. It's optimized for 11 - speed drivetrains but also works with 9, 10 - speed chains, 12 - speed Eagle, and 12 - speed Campagnolo, though not compatible with Flattop AXS or 13 - Speed Campagnolo. Tech specs include black color, single chain - retaining ring, 40 teeth, round shape, and it's made of aluminum with a Direct Mount CINCH system, compatible with various hub types.
Using this chainring is straightforward. First, make sure your bike's hub and spindle are compatible with the chainring as specified in the tech specs. If you're swapping an old chainring, use the CINCH direct mount system for a fast and easy installation. Just attach the chainring to the appropriate part of your bike. When riding, enjoy the smooth operation and great chain retention, especially on rough terrain. As for maintenance, regularly clean the chainring to remove mud and dirt. This will help keep the noise down and ensure the chain moves smoothly. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the aluminum material. Also, be aware that it's not compatible with Flattop AXS or 13 - Speed Campagnolo chains, so always use the appropriate chain type.
