Specifications

Q: What is chainring "Offset" and why does it matter?

A: Offset is the distance the chainring's teeth are shifted inward or outward from the crank's mounting point. It's critical for achieving a straight chainline on modern mountain bikes with different rear hub widths. The correct offset ensures your chain aligns properly with your cassette for smooth shifting and prevents premature wear.

Q: Which offset do I need for my BOOST frame?

A: For the vast majority of modern MTB frames with BOOST 148mm rear spacing, you will need the **3mm offset** chainring to achieve the correct 52mm chainline. The 6mm offset is for older, non-BOOST standards, while 0mm is for other specific systems. Always check your crankset manufacturer's recommendation if you are unsure.

Q: What is the difference between SRAM's 8-bolt and 3-bolt direct mount?

A: They are two different physical interfaces for attaching the chainring. The 8-bolt standard is typically used on their newer road and MTB power meter cranks (like Quarq), while the 3-bolt standard is found on many of their other MTB cranks. They are not interchangeable, so be sure to confirm your crank has the 8-bolt mount.
