Who will benefit from 1X Aero chainring for Sram cranks

It is designed for anyone who is looking for additional gains in aerodynamics and increased performance. Will suit best to Triathlon, TimeTrial or Criterium bike where one chainring on the front can be used with great success. Chainring feature our unique narrow-wide teeth profile for chainguide free build.

Always use a new chain with a new chainring. Designed in UK. Manufactured in Poland (EU).


Advantages of our special Aero Direct mount chainrings:

*Most aerodynamic chainring ever created that fits directly on the crank arm.
*Finest design to provide excellent weight to strength ratio and aerodynamics (Patent Pending grooved structure)
*One of a kind special oval shape that helps you climb faster (Patent Pending)
*Unique Patent Pending narrow-wide teeth profiles to keep your chain in place with no guide.
*Superb quality and great look.
*You will ride faster using ovals. If you keep using round ring then others will get quicker.
*You will not "feel" the oval shape at all
*Reduces stress on knees and helps to maintain your legs fresher for longer
*Reduces possibility of cramps
*Lastly, no need for using "aero" covers anymore.


How to mount Aero Oval chainring to Sram crank:

First you need to remove crank from the bike. Once removed, unscrew these 3 torx t-25 bolts from the crank. Then remove the spider+chainring combo you currently have there. Clean the splines and put some grease on them. Position the chainring in place (note there is only one way to fit this Sram chainring so you don't have to worry how to do it). Close all 3 bolts to about 5-7Nm.


Why our oval chainring is more aerodynamic than any other offering.

Firstly, direct mount full body chainring will always be more aerodynamic than 4 or 5 bolt spider options. Secondly, our unique grooved outer surface reduces drag even further.
It is well known feature that the drag coefficient on a dimpled golf ball is much lower than that on smooth ball. Numerous studies showed that turbulence is generated through the instability of shear layer separating from the edge of dimples and delays flow separation which makes it more aerodynamic. Dimpled structure generate 220% less drag than a smooth surface. However recent studies made by golf industry leaders show that new grooved surface can be made with almost same drag reduction vs smooth surface. Why it matters? Because grooved surface is more practical to manufacture on various bike parts like chainrings. Grooved surface could greatly reduce drag generated by big smooth „aerodynamic” chainrings currently offered on the market.
Few facts you should know:
*It is well documented that grooved surface on the sphere generates less drag when rotating well below 150rpm. In fact it generates least amount of drag when not rotating at all!
*It is well documented that grooved surface generates least amount of drag when traveling at speeds around 10-15m/s (36-54km/h) These parameters fit well to how we ride the bike. Hence grooved surface on various flat parts, like Absoluteblack Aero chainrings is the most preferable way of further drag reduction.

The World's finest oval (elliptical) road chainring. Non circular chainrings, Non-round chainrings. Asymmetrical chainrings.
