Fixed Gear Bike Chainring Replacement

はじめに

Do you also own a fixed gear or a track bike? Fixed-gear bikes generally have fewer components and parts than any other bikes. A chain ring plays a vital role in the drive train and is attached to the crankset. As the bike ages, and the more miles you put on your fixie, the higher the chances of the chainring getting worn down. Replacing a worn-out chainring benefits the quality of your bike rides and drivetrain longevity.
