Hope Technology Spiderless Retainer Chainring
Best direct mount upgrade for riders seeking ultimate chain security.
This direct-mount upgrade is the ultimate fix for dropped chains on aggressive 1x setups. By ditching the spider, you gain a stiffer, lighter drivetrain that sheds mud effortlessly. You sacrifice the ability to swap rings independently, but the tradeoff is a simpler, quieter ride that stays locked in on the roughest descents.
