Cinch direct mount 2X ring system
A cinch direct mount 2X ring system is disclosed. One embodiment discloses a chainring assembly having a drive side crank arm with a chainring assembly interface including a plurality of splines, a circumference, and an axial length. The chainring assembly includes a first chainring having a first outer diameter and a first center assembly shape. The chainring assembly includes a second chainring having a second outer diameter and a second center assembly shape, the second outer diameter being different than the first outer diameter. The chainring assembly also includes a fastener to couple the first chainring and the second chainring with the chainring assembly interface, such that at least one of the first center assembly shape or the second center assembly shape engages with the plurality of splines.
1. A chainring assembly comprising:
a drive side crank arm comprising a chainring assembly interface having a plurality of splines thereon,
the chainring assembly interface having a circumference and an axial length;
a first chainring having a first outer diameter and a first center assembly shape;
a second chainring having a second outer diameter and a second center assembly shape, the second outer diameter being different than the first outer diameter;
a fastener to couple the first chainring and the second chainring with the chainring assembly interface, such that at least one of the first center assembly shape or the second center assembly shape engages with the plurality of splines;
the first center assembly shape engages with the plurality of splines about the circumference of the chainring assembly interface over a first portion of the axial length; and
the second center assembly shape engages with the plurality of splines about the circumference of the chainring assembly interface over a second portion of the axial length.
2. The chainring assembly of claim 1 , wherein the fastener is selected from the group consisting of: a single central fastener and a plurality of radially located fasteners.
3. The chainring assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first chainring and the second chainring comprise a material selected from the group consisting of: aluminum, a titanium, and steel.
4. The chainring assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first chainring is comprised of a first material and the second chainring is comprised of a second material different than the first material.
