Made to suit Shimano direct-mount cranksets, the brand new Tumbleweed Wagon Wheel Chainring fills the precise want for replaceable chainrings for Shimano Hollowtech 2 cranks. The brand new 32t, +3mm offset chainring is out there in silver (stainless-steel), and black (aluminum).
Similar to all of their merchandise, the Wagon Wheel Chainring is particularly designed across the “ecosystem of their builds”. They determined to make some extras for the oldsters which may discover them helpful.
There aren’t any plans to make chainrings for different crank requirements. Though they did say they might, in some unspecified time in the future, supply a couple of completely different enamel or offset choices. The brand new chainring is suitable with all chains, apart from 12-speed Shimano HG+ chains.
There may be at present just one possibility for tooth rely, 32t, and one offset possibility, +3mm. This offset offers you a similar offset as customary Shimano rings. And provides you with the identical chain line as inventory. The 2 choices for materials are aluminum (black) which weighs in at 60g. And 304 stainless-steel (silver) which weighs in at 150g.
The profit, or trade-off for the stainless chainring’s weight is an exponentially longer life. Tumbleweed says they’ve a “sponsored rider that has almost 5000 miles of loaded touring on a stainless chainring”, which nonetheless seems new.
