Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Absolute Black Oval Chainring requires standard chainring bolts and should be performed on a clean, dry crank arm. Ensure that the timing marker on the chainring is aligned correctly with the crank arm to maintain the intended ovality advantage. Because this model is built for the Sram hidden bolt configuration, the fifth bolt sits directly behind the crank arm, providing a cleaner aesthetic and better structural integrity. For care, regularly clean your drivetrain to remove grit from the shifting ramps to maintain optimal shifting speed. Inspect the teeth for wear every 2,000 miles, similar to standard alloy chainrings.
