FAQs

What does X-SYNC technology do?

SRAM's X-SYNC technology features wide-tooth, narrow-tooth chainring profiles that maximize chain engagement, providing superior chain retention and reducing the risk of chain drops.

Is this chainring compatible with all bikes?

No, this chainring requires a SRAM crankset with a compatible Direct Mount interface. It is not a standard bolt-on chainring.

How do I clean the chainring?

Use a mild degreaser and water to clean the chainring. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry before applying lubricant to your chain.

What is the tooth count of this chainring?

This specific chainring has 38 teeth (38T).

How durable is the laser-etched finish?

The laser-etched finish is designed for enhanced durability and resistance to wear, contributing to a longer product lifespan under normal riding conditions.

Can I use this for road cycling?

While primarily designed for off-road use where chain retention is critical, it can be used on a road bike if the gearing suits your needs and your crankset is compatible. However, a dedicated road chainring might offer better aerodynamic properties.

Troubleshooting

Chain drops frequently

Ensure the chainring is correctly mounted and torqued. Check for chain wear and ensure the rear derailleur clutch is engaged and functioning properly. Verify chainring compatibility and condition.

Noise or clicking sounds

Check chainring mounting bolts for proper torque. Inspect the chain for wear or damage. Ensure the drivetrain is clean and lubricated. A bent derailleur hanger can also cause noise.

Difficulty installing chainring

Confirm that your crankset is compatible with SRAM Direct Mount chainrings. Ensure no debris is present on the crank spider interface.
