Product Information
Full details
The Hope R22 Spiderless Chainring SR3 is designed for mountain bikers seeking a reliable, high-performance 1x drivetrain upgrade that offers superior chain retention and longevity. Ideal for riders using modern 9 through 12-speed systems, including SRAM T-Type and Shimano HG+, this chainring excels at handling extreme chain angles with its advanced asymmetric tooth profile. While it offers industry-leading durability through its 7075-T6 aluminum construction, riders must ensure their frame and crankset are compatible with the specific 3-bolt direct mount standard and the required 52mm or 55mm chainlines.

FAQs
Is this chainring compatible with SRAM T-Type drivetrains?
Yes, the SR3 tooth profile is specifically designed to be compatible with SRAM T-Type systems.
Does this ring come in different offsets?
The SR3 model provided features a 3mm offset for 52mm and 55mm chainlines.
Can I use this with a 9-speed setup?
Yes, it is designed to work with 9, 10, 11, and 12-speed drivetrain systems.
What material is used for construction?
It is machined from high-grade 7075-T6 aluminum for an optimal strength-to-weight ratio.
How do I determine if my crankset is compatible?
Ensure your crankset utilizes a 3-bolt direct mount interface, which is the standard for modern Hope and many aftermarket crank systems.
Troubleshooting
Increased drivetrain noise
Check the chainline alignment and ensure the chain is not excessively worn, as the SR3 profile may highlight wear in older chains.
Chain drops occurring in low gears
Verify that your rear derailleur hanger is straight and that the B-tension screw is adjusted to accommodate the current chainring size.
Creaking sound under load
Remove the chainring, clean the 3-bolt mounting interface, apply a fresh thin layer of waterproof grease, and re-torque the bolts.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent mud-shedding performance in adverse weather
- High structural stiffness from the spiderless design
- Wide compatibility across major drivetrain brands
- Exceptional durability with 7075-T6 aluminum
- Reliable chain security during high-torque pedaling
Cons
- Requires specific 3-bolt direct mount interface
- Offset is fixed at 3mm, limiting compatibility with some older frame standards
- Removal and installation requires specific tools for the crankset
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires removing your existing chainring from the 3-bolt direct mount interface on your crankset. Ensure the mounting surface is clean of old grease and grit before bolting on the Hope SR3. This chainring uses a 3mm offset to maintain a proper chainline for Boost and Super Boost frame spacings. For long-term care, regularly inspect the teeth for wear patterns. While the 7075-T6 aluminum is robust, avoid using harsh caustic degreasers that may strip the anodized finish. Periodically check that the three mounting bolts remain torqued to the manufacturer's specified values to prevent creaking.
