CHAIN RINGS 🚲

[531colin]

Let us know how you get on.
Aren't "narrow/wide" chainrings designed to fit regular chains?
The gap between the outer sideplates is forced to be bigger than the gap between inner side plates?

OP: Here's a couple of links which show how to change a SRAM direct mount chainring. NB I'm not endorsing these links, they are the first ones I found that looked similar to your setup, so check they really do apply to your bike. However it will give you an idea and you can use it to gain more knowledge so you can search online yourself for instructions. You have to start somewhere.

PH makes a good point: check your chain is long enough to accomodate the increase in chainring teeth by 2t. You can do this by shifting onto the biggest gear and seeing how much slack you have.

These direct mount chainrings are very specific to the cranks (and I guess narrow-wide chain?) I assume your mate has the exact same type of drivetrain as your bike?

Very helpful thanks!!
