What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "I've run this ring in true beach race conditions, and it does what it's meant to do. Power feels smoother when the sand goes soft, fatigue sets in later, and durability has been excellent despite constant abrasion."Beach racing is unforgiving, where shifting sand punishes uneven power and consistency matters more than explosive surges. The Beach Racing Oval Chainring SRAM 0mm is built specifically for that environment, helping us maintain forward momentum when traction changes every few pedal strokes. Designed by absoluteBLACK for direct mount SRAM cranks, it delivers a smoother cadence that keeps effort controlled across wet and dry sea sand. The oval profile reduces dead spots in the pedal stroke, allowing us to stay seated longer and conserve energy over long shoreline efforts. CNC-machined from 7075 aluminum and finished to withstand abrasive conditions, the chainring balances stiffness with durability for repeated exposure to sand and salt. With a fixed 0mm offset and a dedicated 42T size, it's a focused, purpose-built solution for riders who race where standard components wear quickly and efficiency is everything.
