Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires removing the existing chainring using a SRAM-specific direct-mount lockring tool. Ensure the crank spindle and mounting interface are clean of old grease and debris before installing the new ring. When mounting, verify that the 3mm offset is correct for your Boost-spaced frame (148mm rear axle spacing); installing the wrong offset will cause significant cross-chaining and premature wear. For maintenance, clean the ring regularly to remove grit, and apply a high-quality bicycle-specific lubricant to your chain to maintain the efficiency gains offered by the X-Sync 2 profile.
