FAQs
Does this chainring include the lock nut?
No, the chain ring fixing lock nut is not included and must be sourced separately.
What is DCE technology?
DCE stands for Dynamic Chain Engagement, a tooth profile design that improves chain retention and reduces noise.
Is this chainring compatible with all Shimano e-bike systems?
It is designed for systems requiring a 50mm chain line; check your specific motor or bike manual for compatibility.
Can I remove the double chain guard?
The guard is integrated for protection; it is generally recommended to keep it installed for safety and cleanliness.
What material is the chainring made of?
The teeth are constructed from durable steel to ensure longevity under e-bike motor torque.
Troubleshooting
Increased drivetrain noise
Clean the chainring teeth and chain thoroughly, then re-apply bicycle-specific chain lubricant.
Chain slipping under load
Check if the chain or the chainring teeth are worn. If the teeth appear sharp or hooked, the chainring may require replacement.
Cannot secure chainring to motor
Verify that you have a compatible chain ring fixing lock nut, as it is not included with the CR-ET600.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires a compatible lock ring tool to secure the unit to the drive unit. Because the fixing lock nut is not included, ensure you have retained the original hardware or purchased the compatible Shimano lock ring before starting the installation.
- Compatibility: Ensure your e-bike system requires a 50mm chain line setup.
- Care: Periodically wipe the teeth with a degreaser and apply a high-quality chain lubricant to maintain the steel surface. Inspect the teeth annually for signs of wear, particularly if the chain has skipped under high assist modes.
