Whether or not you experience Campagnolo, Shimano, or SRAM, Ratio Know-how has the one CNC-machined 1x chainring to rule ALL 12-speed AND 13-speed setups. Utilizing their very own distinctive narrow-wide tooth profile, these rings work with all the newest drivetrains. From Eagle to FlatTop to Ekar. And their spiderless shaping will each lower by the wind and make your drivetrain simpler to maintain clear…
Ratio Common match 12/13sp Direct Mount chainrings
Ratio already had commonplace 110BCD chainrings. And the newest 40-44T variations of these already teased common 12sp & 13sp match. However now the corporate that revived lots of your outdated mechanical shifters & derailleurs, is providing you with a greater Direct Mount replace as effectively.
Developed to work with the entire cranks that use SRAM’s modular DM splines, Ratio machines the brand new rings with each 3-bolt & 8-bolt attachments out there. That features compatibility for all of SRAM’s trendy DM street cranks with 45mm chainline. Plus many extra from firms like Cane Creek, Easton, e13, Praxis, RaceFace, and so on.
Shimano HG+ 12, SRAM Eagle 12, SRAM T-Sort 12 & Campy 13… however how?
It wasn’t an enormous shock when Campagnolo jumped to 13-speeds that they would want new chains & chainrings. However SRAM was a bit extra sneaky. Redesigning the still-12-speed street FlatTop after which Transmission chain profiles to necessitate utterly new chainring shapes. However Felix Barker cracked the code and wrote a Grasp’s thesis venture about it on the College of Cambridge.
Working at Ratio, Felix created an all-new uneven tooth form. With a forward-facing profile that drives the chain, sharing the chain load throughout a number of completely different rollers in a calculated stability of upper load energy and longer put on. Then, on their extra hooked trailing edge, Ratio creates higher retention to withstand the wave motion of a unfastened chain when freewheeling over tough terrain. Which we all know nonetheless occurs even with a clutched derailleur.
And so they do that every one whereas becoming across the varied skinny inner shapes of all the newest 12 & 13-speed chains on the market right now.
Why Aero?
The brand new Ratio Direct Mount chainrings are fairly gentle at 105g for a 40T (claimed) however not ultralight. So why did they go for an aero design vs. a presumably lighter spider configuration?
Ratio director Tom Simpson defined to us that’s was primarily a structural selection. After all the rings must account for the uneven loading of a bicycle owner as we pedal. (Typically extra squares than circles.) But in addition to account for smashing rings on rocks. And nobody needs to taco a chainring. And “going with out holes was rather more about these failure modes than it was about aerodynamics, though it’s a pleasant bonus that they’re simpler to scrub and look cool!“
The DM rings are CNC-machined within the UK’s Lakes District from 7075 aluminum. At their thinnest simply 1mm thick, with the structural ribs coming as much as 3.5mm thick.
