What does BCD mean on a chain ring?
Bolt Circle Diameter
Bolt Circle Diameter (BCD) is the diameter of the circle that goes through the center of all of the bolts on your chainring. On bicycle chainrings, this dimension is usually measured in millimeters.
What does a bigger chainring do?
The size of a chainring (often expressed in terms of the amount of teeth on it, e.g. a 53t ring) plays a direct role in your bike’s gearing, with bigger rings meaning a higher (harder to push) gear and smaller rings a lower (easier to push) gear.
How do I know my crank BCD?
Look at the photos and compare to your crank or chainrings. Find the number of bolts in the circle (Left Column) and the approximate measurement (metric or English) between adjacent holes. Find those numbers in the table, then in the Right Column you’ll see the Bolt Circle Diameter (BCD).
What chainring do I need?
Broadly speaking, if you ride a 29er and/or ride in steep mountains go for a chainring with 32T or fewer (the 11 speed Sram XX system goes down to 28T if your bike has the XX drivetrain). If you ride 26″ or 27.5″ wheels and/or ride in less mountainous terrain then go for a 34T or possibly even 36T chainring.
What do the numbers on a crankset mean?
The numbers on the chainrings simply refer to the number of teeth on each chainring. A standard crankset will have the 53 and 39 tooth rings (obviously the 53 tooth ring is the large one and the 39 tooth one is the small one), while a compact crankset typically has 50 and 34 tooth rings.
Is 34t chainring good?
A 34 tooth chainring will give you more top speed. LBS couldn’t get hold of original Shimano part so supplied him with Burgtec and he is happy with it. I saw it while out for a ride, looks good and was 25% more expensive.
What is the difference between 110 and 130 BCD?
The diameter of that circle is the BCD. When you see a measurement like 110 or 130 BCD, that means that diameter is 110 or 130 millimeters, respectively. What is the biggest chainring I can put on a 110 BCD or 130 BCD crankset?
What is BCD on a crankset?
BCD stands for Bolt Circle Diameter. It is the distance from side to side of a circle that goes directly through each bolt hole in a crankset. If you’re looking at the hole in a crankset, imagine a circle that went directly through the center of each hole overlayed on the crankset. The diameter of that circle is the BCD.
What size chainring for 130 BCD cranks?
The answer is: 38 tooth chainring. If you go too small, the chain ring teeth will not have room outside of the bolts. I’ve searched for years and I’ve not been able to find a 130 BCD crank that will accept anything smaller than a 38 tooth that is compatible.
