How long does a chainring last?
A steady rider who stays on the big ring, keeps the drivetrain clean and doesn’t let the chain get too long before replacing it, and started with good quality components can get 60,000+ miles out of a chain ring. A rider who does none of these things might be in need of a new chain ring in a year or so.
Is a larger chainring faster?
Bigger chainrings and cassette cogs run more efficiently than smaller ones but extreme cross-chaining can cancel out those efficiency gains.
Does speed matter for chainring?
Your chainring has to match the bcd/bolt-pattern or it just won’t fit. No, it doesn’t have to match your chain speed.
How do you tell when chainrings are worn out?
“Rough/noisy running is the best way to tell if a chainring needs replacing,” says Chris Mckenney of SRAM. “Unless a chainring is well beyond its service life it is very difficult to see this visually; chainring teeth slowly take on the shape of a shark’s fin in use.
How long do SRAM Eagle chainrings last?
If I would be you I would buy a Sram Eagle steel chainring. I’ve only seen very good reviews in the german forum about them. They last over 10000 miles and are cheap too.
How many miles should a bike cassette last?
between 4000 to 6000 miles
Very Roughly: bike cassette can last between 4000 to 6000 miles, and some can last up to 10,000 miles, an equivalent of 3 to 4 chains, it depends on the quality of the cassette itself, maintenance, and riding conditions.
What size chainring do pros use?
Pros often use a 55×11-tooth high gear for time trials. On flat or rolling stages they might have 53/39T chainrings with an 11-21T cassette. In moderate mountains they switch to a large cog of 23T or 25T. These days, they’ve joined the big-gear revolution like many recreational riders.
Will 10 speed chain work with 9 speed cassette?
Condensed answer: In most cases, a 10-speed chain will operate just fine with a 9-speed cassette because it’s slim enough to move up and down the rear cogs without rubbing or skipping.
Are 9 speed and 10 speed chainrings the same?
The internal chain plate spacing is exactly the same for 9 and 10 – it’s only the plates are thinner, so the ring spacing is slightly narrower on the 10 speed crank.
