Troubleshooting
Increased drivetrain noise
Check your chain wear and ensure the chainline is correctly set. Clean the chainring teeth of any built-up mud or debris.
Chain dropping on rough terrain
Verify the chain length is correct for your 1x setup and that your rear derailleur clutch is fully engaged.
Difficulty removing lockring
Ensure you are using the correct Easton Cinch interface tool. If stuck due to debris, soak the area in penetrating oil before attempting to loosen.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install this chainring, you must use the Easton Cinch tool to remove your existing direct-mount ring from your compatible Easton crankset. Simply align the splines, hand-tighten the lockring, and torque to the manufacturer's specification. Ensure your chain is sized correctly for a 1x setup. Compatibility is strictly limited to Easton Cinch cranksets; this ring will not fit standard 110 BCD spiders. For care, keep the chainring free of excessive grit by wiping it down after muddy rides with a degreaser and a stiff brush, and ensure your chain is lubricated to maintain the integrity of the narrow-wide teeth.
