WHY YOU NEED A SUPER STEEL CHAINRING FOR your E-BIKE
The drivetrain on an e-bike is subject to increased stress and torque as a result of the electric motor when compared to a conventional bicycle. This increased stress causes accelerated wear on all drivetrain components and especially on the chainring.
All OE (original equipment) chainrings which are currently supplied with e-bikes are made of mild steel which is softer than the steel used in chains. Because of the softness of this material, the teeth of the chainrings get worn by the chain and deform quickly which in turn increases the wear rate of the chain and ultimately the cassette. In a way it is a ‘symbiotic system’ where each component has an impact on the rest of the components. As chainring specialists, we know that increasing the hardness of the chainring can significantly reduce the rate of wear of the entire drivetrain. This is why we have created our e-bike specific extremely hard wearing Super Steel chainrings.
HOW TO CHOOSE THE CORRECT E-BIKE CHAINRING ASSEMBLY :
- Choose your chainring spider – Depending on the mid-engine your e-bike uses, first choose the correct mounting interface (Shimano, Specialized, etc.) then if required, choose the correct offset (Boost 53/52.5mm or non-Boost 50mm).
- Choose Super Steel chainring’s tooth profile and size depending on the chain that your e-bike uses. Choose between 10/11/12 speed or Shimano 12 speed HG+ versions and then lastly choose the size of the chainring.
