Key specs include a chain retaining single ring design, 12 drivetrain speeds, a 104 BCD, and an aluminum build.

Using this chainring is straightforward. First, make sure you have a Shimano 12-speed Hyperglide+ chain as it's only compatible with this type. Install it on any 104 BCD crankset following the standard installation process. When riding, you'll notice a quiet and smooth performance thanks to the well - designed tooth profile. As for maintenance, regularly clean the chainring with a mild bike cleaner and a soft brush to remove dirt and debris. Check the chain regularly for wear and replace it if necessary to prevent excessive wear on the chainring. Also, make sure the chain is properly tensioned for the best performance. If you notice any unusual noises or rough shifting, it might be time to inspect the chainring for damage or wear.
