This offers more setup options, which leads to simpler installation and maintenance across a range of bikes.Steel chainring construction: The steel material resists wear under load and handles torque from rough terrain. This boosts long-term strength, which offers dependable power transfer across many rides.Steel chainring fixing bolts: These strong bolts hold the ring in place under high strain. This adds security at the interface, which ensures consistent alignment for stable pedal feel.50mm chainline for 142/135 O.L.D. frames: This chainline aligns with common rear spacing standards to keep the chain path straight. This improves drivetrain efficiency, which supports smoother running across 9, 10, and 11-speed setups.This chainset supports riders who want dependable performance without complex upkeep.
