FAQs

Does this chainring require a chain guide?

No, the narrow-wide tooth profile is specifically engineered to hold the chain securely without the need for a chain guide.

Is this chainring compatible with all cranksets?

No, it is only compatible with the Easton Cinch Direct Mount System.

What is the chainline of this product?

Can I use this for road cycling?

How do I maintain the matte finish?

Clean with mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemical degreasers that may strip the matte coating over time.

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.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Eliminates the need for a chain guide
  • Lightweight design with high stiffness-to-weight ratio
  • Quick and easy installation via Cinch system
  • Excellent chain retention on bumpy terrain
  • Designed specifically for efficient 1x drivetrains

Cons

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.
