Collection: Road Bike Chainrings

Road bike chainrings are designed for smooth, efficient pedalling at high speeds, with close-tolerance teeth profiles that optimise shifting performance. They are typically lighter and more aerodynamic than general-purpose chainrings, making them ideal for performance-focused road riding.

BCD, or Bolt Circle Diameter, refers to the diameter of the circle that passes through the chainring bolts. Selecting the correct BCD ensures your chainring fits your crankset and maintains proper chainline for optimal shifting performance.

Signs your road bike chainring needs replacement include worn or shark-tooth shaped teeth, slipping under load, difficulty shifting, or chain skipping. Regular inspection is important, particularly if you ride frequently or in varied conditions.

Yes, you can upgrade or change chainring size to alter gearing for climbing, sprinting, or endurance riding. Compatibility depends on your crankset’s BCD and the intended drivetrain, so it’s important to confirm these measurements before purchasing.

Our road bike chainrings are made from either lightweight, durable aluminium alloys or high-grade steel. Some of our options also use anodised finishes or CNC machining to improve strength, reduce weight, and enhance shifting performance.

Yes, BETD stocks a wide range of road bike chainrings compatible with standard,
compact, and performance cranksets. Our selection covers most road bike models, allowing riders to replace worn parts or customise gearing for their specific riding style. Speak to our expert team for help with finding the right chainring to fit your road bike.

Installing a new chainring involves removing the crank spider, aligning the chainring to the BCD, and securing it with the correct bolts tightened to the specified torque. Ensuring correct alignment and torque is essential for smooth, reliable shifting.
