Direct Mount CINCH Chainring - 44t 12-Speed For Flattop Chains Black

The Easton Black Direct Mount CINCH Chainring is designed for 12-speed Flattop chains. It features an updated tooth profile, specifically optimized for SRAM Flattop 12-speed chains. With a narrow/wide design ideal for road, cyclocross, and gravel use, its directional tooth shape ensures positive chain roller engagement. This helps keep the chain in place, preventing slips and bounces on rough ground. The CINCH direct mount system saves weight and allows for quick and easy chainring changes. It's made from EA90 Aluminum, has a 47mm chainline, and is compatible (though not optimized) with 11-speed chains. Key features include optimized 12-speed performance, excellent chain retention, variable tooth width, and compatibility with various hubs.

Using this chainring is straightforward. First, make sure your bike is compatible with the CINCH direct mount system and 12-speed Flattop chains. Install the chainring onto your bike following the standard direct mount process. When riding, you'll notice improved chain retention, especially on rough terrain. As for maintenance, regularly clean the chainring with a mild bike cleaner and a soft brush to remove dirt and debris. Check the chain regularly for wear and replace it if needed to keep the chainring working well. Although it's compatible with 11-speed chains, it's best to use it with 12-speed Flattop chains for optimal performance. Keep an eye on the chainline to ensure smooth operation. If you experience any issues, consult a professional bike mechanic.
