Shovel Chainrings
As all of Shovel products are champions in weight reduction, as well as in toughness, our chainrings are no exception. With 38 grams, this Oval Fat/Slim Chainring is the total weight saver.
With open bolt design, we have saved some weight, but have not lost structural integrity. By removing the material around the bolts, we have gained a lot of clearance when removing the chainring, so there is no more unnecessary crank removal.
Shovel chainrings have been tested for over 2 years before their release, to ensure the best chainring design and quality.
Fat tooth design was done by adding extra surfaces off of which mud can slide, retaining the chain in every condition.
However, if you are riding bike park, some unexpected front flips can occur, so we would recommend getting a chainguide, just in case of some eject event.
Oval Fat/Slim Chainring 104 bcd
The complete Shovel production is based in Croatia, EU and kept in house. The Shovel team philosophy is "only high end" and we strive to achieve the best price and quality gain for our customers.
As retail demand for Shovel products in North America is growing, it is hard for us to handle retail customers. Furthermore, we are looking for partners to spread our story and philosophy.
Cheers and and keep on shredding!
