Oval chainrings are engineered to lessen these 12-to-6 vertical plane dead spots in your pedal stroke. This is achieved by shaping the traditional round profile chainring into an ovalised shape, which gives you a gentler transition of the front ring’s teeth to a chain’s links when rotating through the 12-to-6 position.

What kind of steel is a surly chainring made of?

A softer metal means a shorter lifespan. Enter the Surly Stainless Steel chainring, made from 304-grade stainless.
