Race Face Cinch Chainring
Best chainring for optimizing Super Boost drivetrain clearance and chainline.
This is the smartest way to fix your chainline issues without swapping out your entire crankset. By pushing your drivetrain out just enough to clear wider frames and tires, it unlocks better performance for modern setups. You sacrifice a standard chainline, but you gain the clearance needed to run the biggest rubber possible.
