R Direct Mount Spider

The Ochain R Direct Mount Spider decouples the chainring from the crank in the direction that matters most, letting it rotate backward under braking and cornering load instead of transmitting that force straight to the rear wheel. Five external travel settings, Lock through 12 degrees, let a rider match the amount of give to a specific bike and terrain rather than running a fixed decoupling angle. Because the adjustment lives at the crankset, it holds steady across the full cassette range instead of shifting with every gear change, the way a rear-mounted solution would.

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I run mine near the stiffer end of the range for enduro stages and back it off for all-day trail days. Same spider, same bike, a completely different amount of chatter coming through the pedals."
