This SRAM Stealth Ring Set is designed exclusively for the SRAM XG-1270 Force cassette.
How many rings are included in the set?
The set includes two of each required ring size: 10-tooth, 11-tooth, and 12-tooth.
Can I use these rings on a different brand of cassette?
No, these rings are specifically engineered for the SRAM XG-1270 Force cassette and are not compatible with other brands or SRAM models.
What if I only need to replace one size ring?
The set provides two of each size, allowing you to replace one or more worn rings. You will have spares for future needs.
How often should I check my cassette rings for wear?
It is recommended to inspect your cassette rings for wear during regular drivetrain cleaning and maintenance, typically every few hundred miles or as shifting performance degrades.
What tools are needed to install these rings?
You will need standard bicycle tools for cassette removal and installation, including a chain whip and a cassette lockring tool.
Troubleshooting
Cassette is noisy after installing new rings.
Ensure the rings are seated correctly and the cassette lockring is properly tightened. Check that no debris is caught between components.
Shifting is still poor or skipping.
Verify that the correct ring sizes were installed in the correct order. Ensure the derailleur hanger is straight and the derailleur is properly adjusted.
Rings do not fit properly.
Confirm that you are using an SRAM XG-1270 Force cassette. These rings are not designed for universal compatibility.
