What brand 46/36 chainrings to run with SRAM Red BB30 compact crankset? - Cyclocross Magazine2024-03-29T14:21:53Zhttps://cowbell.cxmagazine.com/forum/topics/what-brand-4636-chainrings-to?commentId=1198434%3AComment%3A79613&feed=yes&xn_auth=noHi Michael,

<p>Hi Michael,</p>
<p> You are correct, I did try and get our name out there along with some information about the question asked plus some specs on the 46/36 and 44/34 rings we offer. No one knows about us with the exception of some of those racers that are really into cross or mountain in a big way. My intention was to answer the BB30 big ring pin question plus get some information out about WW cross rings for the readers of this forum that have not heard about us. No harm…</p>

<p>Katie Compton rides both the Zipp and the RED, she has several bikes in the USA and Europe and races both cranks with our rings. </p>
<p>The catch pin on our outer ring does not stick out as far as most others, it will fit the BB30 SRAM Red crank as well as the Red GXP and many others. I hope this clears up any questions.</p>

<p>Hey Chris,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Realizing that I'm not the original poster in the thread, it may have been better if you addressed Boldt's problem in a more straightforward manner. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>But.... and a big BUT, both the post concerning Stu Thorne's rings and yours warrant some more research on my part. Both could be the solution to my problem.</p>

<p>I don't know about "harsh" but certainly accurate. Truly, Chris used his or her post as nothing more than an advertisement for his or her product.

The crank arms on the SRAM Red BB30 crankset are shaped differently than on a SRAM Red GXP. Thus, 110BCD outer chainrings with fewer teeth (e.g., my 46 tooth outer ring) do not fit without modification to the anti chain-drop pin. Chris' post does not address this.

In my opinion, Chris' post was appropriate -- he just should have been a little more straight-up about identifying who he was. Sounds like a good solution tho.

<p>No offense meant Jeffery. I could have worded it better in hindsight. I just wanted to let riders know there is a solution for the SRAM Red out there and it's a good one. Most riders haven't even heard of us.</p>

<p>I thought you'd get it when I posted the ring sizes, 44/34 and 46/36 and said that they are currently being used on the SRAM RED. </p>
<p>YES they will bolt right onto the SRAM RED BB30 without modification.</p>
<p>No rudeness was ever intended in my post, just enlightening those that are looking for a solution to the question.</p>

<p>Whoa Jeff, that was a bit harsh.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Personally, I thought Chris' post was relavant to the thread and offered a good solution. He mentions that Katies is using them in a very similar confgiuration that we are discussing here. <em>"She races them on a Zipp Vumaquad and <span style="text-decoration: underline;">SRAM Red cranks. </span></em> <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">She runs the 44/34 size</span>".</em></p>

<p>So, Chris Wickliffe, is this what you call "direct to consumer advertising"? You cannot even write about your own product and company in the first person. I don't really think this forum was created to provide you with free advertising. Moreover, no matter what your chainrings can and cannot do, you didn't even have the intelligence to address the issue I first wrote about, to wit, the fit of 46T chainrings on a SRAM BB30 crank.

<p>Hi Jeffery,</p>
<p> There are rings that work better than any other rings made but most riders haven't heard of them YET. They fit the SRAM Red in a 110BCD and many other cranks. They come in a 46/36 or a 44/34 size.</p>
<p>WickWerks makes these Radically Ramped rings. Katie Compton has been racing them in the World Cup and the US Nationals for the last two seasons. She races them on a Zipp Vumaquad and SRAM Red cranks. </p>

<p>Hi Jeffery,</p>

<p>WickWerks makes these Radically Ramped rings. Katie Compton has been racing them in the World Cup and the US Nationals for the last two seasons. She races them on a Zipp Vumaquad and SRAM Red cranks. </p>
<p>She runs the 44/34 size. They are great rings, good enough for Katie to race exclusively on. They are certainly good enough for everyone else.</p>
<p>She's the best woman cross racer in the world in my opinion and many others, what a competitor and athlete.</p>
<p>Here are the specs on them;</p>
<p>CNC 7075-T6, MIL type 3 hard anodized <br/> Weight 111 g (34/44)<br/> Weight 129 g (36/46)</p>
<p>You can find these at their website wickwerks.com. They look very cool as well as performing great.</p>
<p>By the way these rings rock when shifting up an incline, shifting anywhere and everywhere, in the mud anywhere, they engage very fast. You won't get a faster or more solid engagement from any other rings. These rings are stiff and light and are simply the best cross rings made period. </p>
<p>Unlike the costly Rotor rings at $275.00 a set, these are only $129.50 a set and they out shift Rotor any day. Cross is about shifting and using your gears to your advantage, these rings allow you to do that.</p>
<p>That's saying a lot, you'll know it's true once you power shift a set of them.</p>
<p>I hope this helps!</p>
<p>Do a Google search and you can see the WickWerks cross rings on her Stevens bikes. Go Katie Go!</p>
