Using this chainring is straightforward. First, make sure your bike has a RaceFace CINCH boost crankset with a 3mm offset and a Shimano 12-speed Hyperglide+ chain, as it's only compatible with these. Install the chainring onto the crankset following the standard procedures. When riding, you'll notice better efficiency during the recovery part of your pedal stroke and improved traction. As for maintenance, keep it clean. After a muddy ride, wash it gently with water and a mild soap. Dry it thoroughly to prevent rust. Also, regularly check the chain retention. If you notice any unusual noise or poor performance, inspect the chainring for wear. And always remember, it's designed specifically for the Shimano Hyperglide+ 12-speed chain, so don't use other types of chains to avoid premature wear.
