absoluteBLACK Round Direct Mount Chainring for Cannondale

This chainring is designed specifically for Cannondale Hollowgram cranksets. Please verify that your crankset uses the direct mount interface before purchasing, as it will not fit standard spider-based setups.

This chainring is compatible with 9, 10, 11, and 12-speed drivetrains. While you do not necessarily need a new derailleur, you should ensure your chain is sized correctly for a 1x setup to prevent drops and maintain smooth shifting.

The direct mount design removes the need for a separate spider, which connects the chainring to the crank arm. By integrating these parts, you save significant weight and simplify the drivetrain, resulting in a cleaner look and improved structural rigidity.

The narrow-wide tooth profile is engineered to lock the chain securely onto the ring. This design significantly reduces the risk of chain drops, even when riding over rough, technical terrain without a chain guide.

Yes, the chainring features optimized offset geometry specifically designed to improve your chainline. This adjustment helps reduce cross-chaining and ensures smoother, more efficient shifting across your entire cassette.
