Chainring
Best affordable upgrade for urban commuters and fixed gear enthusiasts.

By ditching the pins and profiles found on high-end components, you get a straightforward, durable setup that excels on fixed-gear and singlespeed builds. It is a refreshing return to basics for riders who value function over flash.
