Product Information

Full details

The Magene QED Split Chainrings are designed for performance-oriented cyclists seeking enhanced drivetrain stiffness, rapid shifting, and lasting durability. Constructed from ultra-light, high-strength 7075 aircraft-grade aluminum, these chainrings offer race-ready performance without compromising on weight. A potential consideration is their compatibility, which is specific to Shimano 11 and 12-speed groupsets and Magene power meters, requiring careful integration with existing or new cranksets.

FAQs

What is the main benefit of the QED Split Chainrings?

The main benefits are increased drivetrain stiffness for better power transfer, ultra-light weight for improved responsiveness, and precise, fast shifting performance, especially under load.

Are these chainrings compatible with all cranksets?

No, they require a crankset with a 110 BCD 4-bolt mounting interface and are specifically designed for Shimano 11 and 12-speed groupsets, as well as Magene P505/PES P505 power meters.

How much do the Magene QED Split Chainrings weigh?

The total weight of the chainrings is approximately 143g, contributing to a lighter overall rotational mass.

Can I use these with a SRAM or Campagnolo drivetrain?

These chainrings are designed and optimized for Shimano 11 and 12-speed systems. Compatibility with other brands is not guaranteed and may result in suboptimal performance.

How does the third-generation tooth profile improve shifting?

The redesigned tooth roots, grooves, and shapes guide the chain more efficiently, allowing for faster and smoother shifts between the small and large chainrings, even when pedaling hard.

What is the warranty period for these chainrings?

Please refer to the official Magene product documentation or your point of purchase for specific warranty information, as warranty terms can vary.

How do I clean and maintain my chainrings?

Clean regularly with a mild degreaser and water, using a soft brush to remove debris. Ensure your chain is well-lubricated. Periodically check bolts for tightness and inspect teeth for wear.

Troubleshooting

Chain skipping or poor shifting performance

Ensure the rear derailleur is properly indexed. Check that the chainring bolts are tightened correctly. Verify that the chainring is installed with the correct orientation for your drivetrain. Inspect for chain wear and replace if necessary. Ensure the chain is compatible with your groupset.

Chain not engaging smoothly on the large ring

Confirm chainring alignment and that the chainring is not bent. Adjust front derailleur limit screws and cable tension. Ensure the chain is fully compatible with the tooth profile of the chainring.

Noise or grinding sounds

Check for debris caught between the chainrings or chain. Ensure the crankset is properly installed and that the chainline is correct. Inspect the bottom bracket and crankset bearings for wear.

Power meter data seems inaccurate

Verify that the Magene P505 power meter is correctly installed and calibrated according to the manufacturer's instructions. Ensure the battery is charged. Check for any firmware updates for the power meter.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhanced drivetrain stiffness for improved power transfer.
  • Significantly reduced weight for better pedaling responsiveness.
  • Rapid and smooth shifting performance, even under load.
  • Durable construction from high-grade aluminum for longevity.
  • Precise manufacturing ensures reliable performance.

Cons

  • Compatibility is limited to specific Shimano 11/12-speed groupsets and Magene power meters.
  • Requires a compatible crankset with a 110 BCD 4-bolt mounting interface.
  • May require professional installation for optimal performance and fit.
  • Higher cost compared to standard aluminum chainrings.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup and Compatibility:

  • Mounting Standard: These chainrings utilize a 110 BCD (Bolt Circle Diameter) 4-bolt mounting pattern. Ensure your crankset has a compatible BCD and bolt configuration.
  • Groupset Compatibility: Designed to work with Shimano 11 and 12-speed drivetrains. Note that they are generally not compatible with Shimano-shaped cranks, and specific chainring orientation may be required for optimal performance.
  • Power Meter Integration: For accurate power readings, these chainrings are designed to integrate with Magene P505 and PES P505 power meter systems. Ensure proper installation of the power meter components according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  • Professional Installation Recommended: Due to the precision required for optimal shifting and power meter function, professional installation by a qualified bike mechanic is recommended.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Regularly clean the chainrings with a mild degreaser and water. Use a soft brush to remove debris from the teeth and between the chainrings. Avoid high-pressure washing directly at bearings or sensitive components.
  • Lubrication: Ensure your chain is properly lubricated, as this significantly impacts shifting performance and chainring wear.
  • Inspection: Periodically inspect the chainring teeth for signs of wear or damage. Replace chainrings if teeth appear significantly worn, hooked, or if shifting performance degrades noticeably.
  • Tightening: Periodically check that chainring bolts are securely tightened to the manufacturer's specifications.
