It transfers the energy from the rider to the road or trail. Bike drivetrains are made up of multiple parts including the chain, cassette, crankset, chain ring, derailleur, bottom bracket, and shifter. While each and every component is important, it is really the total package that makes up a smooth running bike. \n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nMany companies offer drivetrain parts for you bike, but the industry is largely dominate by Shimano drivetrains and SRAM drivetrains. There are some notable alternative drivetrains from Microshift and Box Components as well. However, a bulk of our customers will find their needs are filled by SRAM and Shimano. \n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nBike drivetrains are a high wear and tear item, so it is recommended that you keep up on regular maintenance and adjustment as well are the replacement of worn out parts. A worn our bike drivetrain can cause massive shifting issues and snowball into bigger problems down the line. Your bikes chain, cassette, and chainring are going to be the most common replacement items. Many avid riders replace these items on a yearly basis so it is important to track your miles\/rides to have a good idea of your bike drivetrains use. \n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nOver the years, the number of chainrings on your bikes drivetrain has likely changed. While 3 chainrings used to be a common sight, many bikes are now down to two. For Gravel Bikes and Mountain Bikes, that number has dropped to one with the emergence of 1X drivetrains. SRAM has pioneered the 1X drivetrain market while Shimano now has 1X offerings, they also still have a strong focus on 2X drivetrains as well. \n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nBike drivetrain components work best keeping brand integration (i.e. SRAM chain with SRAM cassette) in tact, but it is possible to have a good working drivetrain mixing and matching brands. It is important to ensure all of your components are adjusted properly and have the correct capabilities (i.e. A derailleurs Max tooth capacity). \n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNorthwest Bicycle offers bike drivetrain components from every major brand on the market.

Not only do they greatly effect the gear ratio of the entire drivetrain, they can pose many underlying problems for the entire system if they are not cleaned and replaced at proper intervals. It is a long-known fact that bike chainrings wear together with chains and cassettes, but they are constantly overlooked when riders replace those other components. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nBike chainrings can come in many different configurations including 3X, 2X, and 1X drivetrain systems. Double chainrings and triple chainrings are often found on touring\/road bikes while 1X drivetrains are most commonly found on Mountain Bike Drivetrains. 1X chainrings have been perfected in recent years and companies such as \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/northwestbicycle.com\/collections\/absolute-black\"\u003eAbsolute Black\u003c\/a\u003e, Race Face, and OneUp Components offer fantastic solutions for riders. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is very common that on a double or triple chainring system, one of the chainrings will wear out faster than the others. This is due to the rider riding primarily in that gear (often the middle gear on a triple) which accelerates the wear. When you consider the bike chainring on a 1X system, it is recommended that you replace that chainring every time you replace your cassette. With just a single ring, it is taking all of the wear and tear that double and triple systems can share between other rings. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nChainring spacing (BCD) is a very important measurement that you need to consider while finding a replacement chainring. The most common BCD measurements are 64 (inner rings), 104 (primarily mountain bikes), 110 (road bikes), and 130 (road bikes). If you are unsure of this measurement, Park Tool offers a handy tool to measure them, or you can stop in to see your local mechanic. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nMore modern crank systems are starting to use direct mount chainrings. This eliminates the BCD measurement as the chainring is mounted directly to the crank arm. These systems offer superior performance and expanded chainring options for riders. Direct mount chainrings are becoming more of the norm on mountain bike systems as 1X drivetrains take over the market. \nNorthwest Bicycle offers chainrings from all of the major brands that will fit almost any configuration of chainring you can find.
