Chainrings
Finally work through your chainring? Check out our huge range of chainrings for road, gravel, mountain & track bikes. In just about any tooth count!
While it’s always a shame when you find yourself needing to replace a chainring, it doesn’t have to cost the earth.
Your chainrings are made of tougher stuff than other components on your drivetrain like your chain & cassette. And this means that you won’t often need to replace them. But this also means that they are more expensive to replace when you finally need to.
Choosing a high quality & durable front chainring is a good idea to get the most out of this component. A higher quality ring is going to last you longer – you should get quite a few cassettes out of your chainring.
And because your chainring determines the ratio that you will get out of your cassette. So changing this ring to a different tooth count will have a dramatic effect on your ride experience.
But this is often why people will change it out! Because it’s a quick way to fundamentally change how your bike rides. Choosing a small chainring like for your gravel bike or mountain bike & a large rear cassette will give you dramatic climbing advantage. But will be no good to you on the flats or when you need speed.
And much as a high cadence is fine on your gravel bike or mountain bike, you might want to use your effort differently on a road bike. Choosing a higher tooth count & a bigger chainring as a result on your road bike is common. This will give you the greatest benefit on the long flats & over long distances.
Stronglight brand chainrings
Looking at our Stronglight chainrings & don’t understand the differences in price?
Below is a little info on the material differences of Stronglight’s chainrings.
Because it is the material & the treatment of that material which determines the hardness, stiffness & thus performance of your chainring.
And of course it will determine the life-time of your chain & cassette too.
Stronglight’s Chainring Technology Explained
5083 – Easy biking / Leisure / City biking
Alloy material 5083 anodised
Light & stiff the 5083 range is designed for commuter bikes, hybrid bikes & general riding.
7075 – Sport / Performance
Alloy material 7075-T6 Anodised
For those who look for performance as well light weight & stiffness, the 7075-T6 delivers. The reinforced stiffness of these chainrings means better shifting performance.
CT² – Competition / Racing
Alloy material 7075-T6 Teflon Coated
The best Stronglight have to offer, these Teflon Coated chainrings have an extended life & reduced friction. CT² reduces the chain friction by 80% for smooth & impeccable shifting performance.
HT³ – Premium
Alloy material 7075-T6 Titanium oxide electro ceramic coating
This exclusive treatment provides an ultra hard surface for a long life of shifting. The hardness is identical to the CT², but the friction & abrasion coefficient is significantly reduced (0.2-0.3). Making for quieter shifting & excellent corrosion resistance.
