Specifications

• Teeth: 46T

  • The 46-tooth configuration is ideal for riders who want a balance between pedaling torque and speed. This tooth count is perfect for those who enjoy a smooth and steady ride, whether you are using the bike for daily commuting, leisurely cruising, or even more spirited rides. The 46T chainring offers moderate gearing that suits a variety of cycling styles without compromising on either acceleration or top-end speed. It is especially well-suited for single-speed bikes, BMX, and cruiser bikes.

• Chain Compatibility: 1/2" x 1/8"

  • This chainring is designed to be compatible with a 1/2" x 1/8" chain, which is the standard size used in single-speed, fixed-gear, and BMX bikes. The 1/8" width is commonly used for a more solid and durable connection between the chain and the sprocket, especially in racing and casual riding environments. The 1/2" x 1/8" chain is durable and designed for better engagement, ensuring smooth pedaling and enhanced power transfer.

• Crank Compatibility: 1pc Crank

  • The 1pc crankset compatibility means this chainring is specifically designed for bikes that use a one-piece crank system. This crankset configuration, common in vintage bikes, BMX, and some cruiser bikes, integrates both crank arms and the sprocket into a single piece of hardware. The 1pc crank system provides increased rigidity and ease of maintenance, as well as quicker and simpler installation compared to a two-piece crankset. This system also ensures that the chainring is securely mounted to the crankset, ensuring better power transmission and reduced flex.

• Tooth Type: Standard

  • The standard tooth profile of the SS-315 chainring ensures consistent and reliable engagement with the 1/2" x 1/8" chain. The teeth are designed for smooth and secure chain contact, reducing the likelihood of slipping or skipping while riding. The standard teeth are robust enough to handle the forces exerted during pedaling, making it suitable for daily use or competitive cycling in BMX and fixed-gear racing.

• Material: Steel

  • Crafted from high-quality steel, the SS-315 chainring is built to withstand the stresses and demands of daily cycling. Steel is an excellent material for chainrings due to its strength, toughness, and wear resistance. The material ensures that the chainring can handle substantial torque and frequent use without bending, cracking, or wearing out prematurely. Steel’s durability also makes it an excellent choice for those who need a reliable and long-lasting component for their bike.

• Color: Chrome

  • The chrome-plated finish of this chainring not only enhances its visual appeal but also provides an added layer of protection against rust, corrosion, and grime. The reflective chrome finish gives the chainring a sleek, polished look, which is perfect for riders who want their bike to have a clean, stylish appearance. The chrome coating also makes it easier to clean and maintain the chainring, ensuring that it remains functional and visually attractive for a long time.

• Brand: AltaLine

  • AltaLine is a reputable brand known for producing high-quality bike components that combine performance and style. Their products are favored by cyclists for their durable construction and reliable functionality. The SS-315 chainring is no exception, designed to meet the needs of both casual and performance riders. AltaLine products are widely trusted by bike enthusiasts for their consistent quality and design.
