A chainring is the larger gear attached to the crank on your bike, and it plays a crucial role in cycling by turning the chain. The number of teeth on a chainring affects your gear ratio, which is how many times the wheel turns with one full pedal rotation. For instance, the standard chainring on the 735TR's OMNIUM crank has 48 teeth. Since chainrings can be swapped out, changing yours can be a great way to refresh your ride. Plus, they come in a variety of exciting designs.
For a classic look, I recommend the SUGINO SSG. It's affordable, starting at ¥10,900, and comes in a variety of tooth counts. Its silver model meets NJS standards, so it's both reliable and versatile, fitting well with any frame and crank.
"If you prefer something bolder, check out the voluminous, aerodynamic designs:
Left: ROTOR NO-Q ¥18,000
Right: SUGINO ZEN ¥15,200 and up"
These chainrings are lightweight despite their solid appearance due to strategically removed material from the back, enhancing both the look and rigidity. If you're aiming to make a statement with your bike's drivetrain, combining one of these with cranks like OMNIUM, SUGINO 75, or ROTOR is a great choice. These are among the most popular chainrings at BROTURES.
"There are also heavily cut-out designs for those who like an edgy look:
Left: SUGINO MC144 ¥14,100 and up
Right: FACTORY5 ¥10,500"
"SUGINO offers a classic design, while FACTORY5 features a more avant-garde aesthetic. These chainrings can really enhance the character of your bike, perfect for those who want to stand out with a custom setup. Remember, the design of a chainring can significantly impact both the look and feel of your ride.
