Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the 8-bolt direct mount chainring requires an 8-bolt compatible crankarm. To install:
- Clean the crank interface thoroughly to ensure there is no debris.
- Align the 8-bolt pattern correctly on the crank spider.
- Tighten the bolts in a star pattern to the manufacturer's recommended torque specification, typically found printed on the crank arm or chainring.
Compatibility note: This chainring is specifically for 12-speed Eagle T-Type drivetrains. It is not compatible with older 3-bolt direct mount systems or traditional 11-speed setups. For maintenance, periodically inspect the teeth for wear and use a chain checker tool to monitor the condition of your chain, as a worn chain will accelerate the wear of the chainring teeth.
