The Race Face Direct Mount Narrow/Wide Single Chainring is an ideal upgrade for mountain bikers using the Cinch system who want to simplify their drivetrain while improving chain retention. Engineered from durable 7075-T6 aluminum, this chainring provides a stiff, efficient power transfer and significant weight savings by eliminating the need for a separate spider. While it offers versatile compatibility across various drivetrain speeds, it is important to note that it is not compatible with Shimano 12-speed chains, requiring riders to check their specific chain type before installation.

No, this chainring is not compatible with Shimano 12-speed chains.
Yes, the direct mount design replaces both the chainring and the spider, saving weight.
You will need a standard bottom bracket tool compatible with the RF Cinch lockring.
Yes, it is designed and machined in Vancouver, BC.
It fits SRAM GXP cranks that feature a removable spider system.
The 34T is a versatile mid-range size; riders in extremely steep mountainous areas might prefer a smaller count, while flatter trail riders might prefer larger.
Check your chain length and ensure the clutch on your rear derailleur is engaged.
Ensure your bottom bracket tool is fully seated on the splines and use a long-handled wrench for better leverage.
Verify chain compatibility; ensure you are not using a chain incompatible with the ring, such as a Shimano 12-speed chain.
To install this chainring, ensure you have a standard bottom bracket tool, such as the one used for external bearing bottom brackets (e.g., Park Tool BBT-22 or similar). Simply remove the existing spider or ring, clean the splines on the crank arm, and tighten the lockring to the specified torque. For maintenance, keep the chainring clean of excess grit and debris to extend its lifespan. Check the chainring for wear occasionally, especially if you notice the chain beginning to 'stick' or the drivetrain becoming noisier than usual. Note that this ring is compatible with SRAM GXP cranks that utilize a removable spider design.
