Mount
How to mount AbsoluteBlack oval chainring to Shimano 12 Spd Hyperglide+ Crank:
Using Hollowtech II BB Removal Tool (like BBB BTL-116 ), carefully open the lockring that holds the chainring on the crank(normal threads). Once the lockring is removed, take off old chainring, re-grease the splines on the crank. Place new oval chainring with convex side to the crank. Chainring/crank has special splines that only fit one way. Close the lockring to 35-50Nm of force. Chainring is only compatible with CN-M9100, M8100, M7100 & M6100 Shimano 12spd Hyperglide+ chains. Using other chains may cause chain to drop very easily from the chainring due to thinner than usual teeth.
Oval (elliptical) chainring does not compromise the work of clutch mechanism in rear derailleur(video at the bottom). It also does not require chain tensioner when using in singlespeed application. Riding out of saddle on the uphill will become more pleasant.
Ovality of the chainring is in range of 10-14% (dependent on size) and feels perfectly round when riding. These chainrings also help you to recover after knee injuries as pedaling becomes smoother and less exhausting. It is the most advanced oval chainring currently on the market.
| Chain options | 12spd xtr9100, 8100, 7100 & 6100 Shimano 12spd Hyperglide+ chain only |
|
Chainguide needed? |
No. But if you want one then chain guide should have 2 teeth more capacity than nominal oval ring size. |
