EGGrings

Custom Cycle Chainrings  -  Round or Oval

 

 

 
Please note

 
I regret that I've stopped making chainrings and sprockets.

Thank you to all my loyal customers who have sent me so many interesting
orders over the past 25 years. I almost feel that I know some of you
personally - indeed some of you have become good friends!

On this page you can see some of the things I used to make...
 

 

Round or Oval, EGGrings are some of the very best chainrings that are made anywhere in the World. Every one is unique, individually milled to your specification. They are used by discerning cyclists all over the World (including several famous ones!) and I can make them for you too...

The best
  • Precision CNC-milled to fit your crank accurately and run true.
  • The best heat-treated aerospace aluminium alloy.

An EGGring was used on the Burrows / Boardman gold-medal Olympic 'Superbike' and exhibited in London's Science Museum and Millenium Dome. And they have been used by other Olympic gold-medallists and famous round-the-World tourists too.

Details
  • Full-profile teeth for better chain engagement and long lasting chainrings.
  • Taller teeth on 'single' rings reduce the chances of your chain jumping off.
  • Front derailleur shifts aided by an inner chamfer and shift-gates in the teeth.
  • A catch-pin on 'outer' rings stops the chain jamming if you over-shift.

Finish

Standard EGGrings are untreated, the alloy being left in its plain, natural state. Black and polished finishes cost extra.

Plain
The alloy may tarnish in time, but this doesn't affect its strength.
Black
A polyester coating is applied before machining. The machined teeth stand out in contrasting silver.
Polished
The chainring is hand-polished to a mirror finish.

Round EGGrings can be turned
to even out long-term wear.

orientation varied.

Perforated

Oval EGGrings

Ovals offer distinct advantages,
especially for hill-climbing.

See the Ovals page.
