Alugear ELM Round 1X (Sram 8Bolt)
Precision Machined. Absolute Security.
The Alugear 1X Round Chainring is crafted from aerospace-grade 7075-T6 aluminum, making it exceptionally stiff and durable while remaining remarkably lightweight. Its standout feature is the advanced Narrow-Wide tooth profile, which has been meticulously designed to grip the chain and prevent drops even on the roughest gravel descents; eliminating the need for a bulky chain guide.
Why Alugear is the Ultimate 1X Upgrade:
-
7075-T6 Aluminum Construction: CNC-machined from a single block of high-strength alloy to ensure maximum power transfer and long-term resistance to wear.
-
Advanced Narrow-Wide Profile: Specially shaped teeth provide superior chain retention and mud-shedding capabilities, ensuring a silent and secure drivetrain in all conditions.
-
Sram 8Bolt Direct Mount: Designed for a perfect, wobble-free interface with modern Sram road and gravel cranks (like Red, Force, and Rival AXS), providing a cleaner look and lighter weight than traditional spider-based systems.
-
Optimized Chainline: Engineered to provide the best possible chain angle across the entire cassette, reducing friction and wear on your 10, 11, or 12Speed chain.
-
Aerospace Aesthetics: Features a sleek, minimalist design with a high-quality anodized finish that complements the lines of flagship carbon frames.
-
Versatile Sizing: The 36T option provides the ideal balance for hilly gravel routes or technical cyclocross courses, giving you a powerful climbing gear without sacrificing too much top-end speed.

The Alegro Perspective: In our shop, we love Alugear because of the "boutique" quality they offer at a competitive price. Most 1x riders worry about chain drops, but the tooth profile on these rings is so aggressive that it’s almost impossible to shake the chain off. If you are converting a Sram Force AXS setup to 1x for a "mullet" build or a dedicated gravel rig, this is one of the lightest and most reliable rings you can buy.
