The Spécialités TA Alizé Track Chainring is designed for use with 1/8" width chains, commonly found on single-speed and track bicycles.
What does BCD stand for, and is 130mm common?

It is CNC machined from aircraft-grade 7075 aluminum alloy, known for its strength and light weight.
How do I clean and maintain the chainring?
Clean the chainring with a degreaser and brush, then dry it thoroughly. Keep your chain clean and lubricated for optimal performance and to reduce wear on the chainring.
What is the main aesthetic advantage of this chainring?
Its main aesthetic advantage is its classic, retro design, which is ideal for enthusiasts looking to maintain or achieve a vintage look on their bicycles.
Troubleshooting
Chain skipping or poor engagement
Ensure the chainring is correctly installed with the appropriate chainring bolts. Verify that you are using a 1/8" width chain and that the chain is not excessively worn. Check that the chainline is straight.
Chainring does not fit crankset
Confirm that your crankset has a 130mm BCD. This chainring is specifically designed for this BCD and will not fit other sizes like 110mm or 144mm.
Excessive wear on chainring teeth
This may indicate a worn chain or improper chain tension. Ensure your chain is clean and lubricated, and adjust chain tension according to your bike's setup (e.g., track ends or eccentric bottom bracket).

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Alizé Track chainring is designed to mount onto single 5-arm cranksets with a 130mm bolt circle diameter (BCD). Ensure your crankset has this specific BCD. It is intended for use with 1/8" width chains. Installation typically involves removing the old chainring, positioning the new Alizé chainring, and securing it with appropriate chainring bolts.
Compatibility: This chainring is compatible with single-speed and track drivetrains that utilize a 1/8" chain. It fits cranksets with a 130mm BCD. It is not compatible with multi-speed (derailleur) systems.
Care: To maintain performance and longevity, clean the chainring regularly with a degreaser and a brush to remove dirt and grime. After cleaning, dry thoroughly and consider applying a light lubricant to the chain. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
