5-bolt Chainring

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I recommend this ring to riders building a reliable 1x cyclocross drivetrain. It drops weight by removing the chain guide and stays quiet under load, even in heavy mud. Installation is simple, and longevity has been excellent in high-mileage use."

In cyclocross racing, drivetrain reliability is non-negotiable, and the CX Round 110/130 BCD Chainring is built to meet that demand. We rely on it for aggressive race efforts where rapid accelerations, uneven terrain, and frequent remounts place constant stress on the chain interface. Designed by absoluteBLACK with cyclocross-specific conditions in mind, it prioritizes retention and efficiency over unnecessary complexity.

The narrow-wide tooth profile alternates precisely shaped teeth to match inner and outer chain links, dramatically reducing the chance of derailment. CNC-machined from 7075 aluminum, the ring balances stiffness with low weight, while the anodized finish improves wear resistance over a long season of racing. Chamfered edges around the teeth help clear mud and debris, maintaining consistent engagement when conditions deteriorate.

This chainring is best suited for cyclocross racers, gravel riders seeking a minimalist 1x setup, and riders converting older cranks to modern single-ring drivetrains where chain security and simplicity are priorities.
