AbsoluteBLACK Oval Gravel Chainring for Shimano Cranksets

Some of the finest chainrings available, regardless of shape, are manufactured by AbsoluteBLACK. This oval model for gravel bikes features a breathtaking "honeycomb" design sure to turn heads. This model is designed for 1x, single-chainring gravel bikes and uses the modern 4-bolt Shimano crankset mounting pattern.

Shave grams by switching your gravel bike to a 1x drivetrain. You also get easier maintenance and cleaning. Many athletes are switching their gravel bikes to 1x drivetrains to simplify maintenance and save weight. This ring was designed specifically for gravel riding with special 3D machined teeth for mud shedding and to reduce noise. 

Asymmetrical (elliptical) rings work because riders don't produce power evenly throughout the pedaling stroke. Oval chainrings help normalize that power delivery to the drivetrain, so you go faster with less fatigue. A more consistent cadence can also improve rear tire traction on loose, slippery terrain.

• Ring is offset 1.5mm toward the center-line of your bike for perfect chainline

The small triangle mark on your new AbsoluteBLACK chainring sits behind the crankarm. Install using the bolts included with the new chainring and a T-30 torx wrench (not included) with a force of 5-7Nm. Always use a new chain with a new chainring.
