WickWërks BRIDGE Chainrings

WickWërks chainrings have multiple bridges spread out every three, four or five teeth, providing a fast positive engagement of the chain no matter where in the crank set revolution you’re shifting.

WickWërks chainrings have low profile teeth off of each bridge and an angled area above the top portion of each bridge that allow the chain to lean in and mesh smoothly into the next ring during an up-shift.

The low profile teeth around the WickWërks chainrings allow the front derailleur cage to physically move the chain past a cut tooth allowing for faster downshifts, especially under load.

WickWërks chainrings lift the chain from the bottom of the links directly below the load points of the chain.
WickWërks chainrings lift with the bridges that hold the chain firmly in place with much more stability versus using a pin.

WickWërks chainring bridges provide a superior engagement without the slippage of traditional designs using pins, especially when the pins wear.

WickWërks chainring bridges provide more contact area than pins and lift directly below multiple load points of the chain.
Traditional chainrings use pins that have very little contact area between the chain and the pin.

WickWërks chainrings provide superior contact between the chain and ramps for faster and more solid engagement.

Traditional Chainring Pins

Traditional mountain bike chainrings have two sets of pins 180 degrees apart and road rings have three sets of pins 120 degrees apart providing fewer chances to engage the chain than our WickWërks ramps that circle the entire chain ring.

Traditional chainring pins lift and drop the chain onto the next chain ring when up-shifting.

When downshifting under load with traditional chainrings the chain often keeps engaging the teeth due to tension and the height of all the teeth not allowing the front derailleur cage to physically move the chain past the teeth. This results in slower downshifts, especially under load.
Traditional chainring designs put the entire chain load on a small contact area between the pin and outer link. The chain often slips off the pin. It is most noticeable under load and with pin wear.

Traditional chainring pins can only grab an outer link! They physically cannot grab an inner link! WickWërks chainrings hold BOTH multiple outer and inner links firmly in place on the ramp for superior stability.

With WickWërks chainrings it doesn’t matter when the chain contacts the ramp, it engages without slipping off!

WickWërks Ramp Technology was the FIRST in the world to lift BOTH the inner and outer chain links from two or more multiple load points of a chain. Whether the ring has a pin above it or not it’s our Patented Ramp Technology that allows this unique engagement of the chain to happen.
