absoluteBLACK Round Direct Mount Chainring for Cannondale

This chainring is designed specifically for Cannondale cranksets that utilize the direct mount interface, such as the HollowGram series. Before purchasing, verify your crank model and ensure it is compatible with the direct mount standard rather than a traditional spider-based system.

If your current chain is worn, it is highly recommended to install a new one along with the new chainring. Using a worn chain on a new ring will accelerate wear on the teeth and compromise the performance of the narrow-wide profile.

Yes, the patent-pending narrow-wide tooth profile is engineered to lock the chain securely in place. It significantly reduces the risk of chain drops, even on rough terrain, by ensuring a precise fit between the chain links and the teeth.

By removing the spider, you eliminate unnecessary hardware, which reduces overall weight and simplifies the drivetrain. This streamlined design also allows for a more optimized chainline, resulting in smoother, more efficient power transfer.

This chainring is optimized for most modern 1x drivetrains, including 10, 11, and 12-speed systems. However, always check your specific chain type to ensure it is compatible with the narrow-wide tooth spacing.
