34-tooth 110mm BCD chainring: performance and versatility for your drivetrain

The 34-tooth 110mm BCD chainring is an essential component for cyclists seeking a compact and efficient crankset. Designed for 9-speed drivetrains, it provides an excellent balance between power transfer, pedaling comfort, and the ability to tackle varied terrain, from rolling hills to long endurance rides.

What is a 34-tooth 110mm BCD chainring ?

A bicycle chainring is the toothed ring attached to the crankset, directly engaging with the chain. The term 34 teeth refers to the number of teeth on the chainring, which affects gearing and pedaling smoothness.
The 110mm BCD (Bolt Circle Diameter) refers to the distance between the mounting holes on the crank spider. This compact standard allows the use of smaller chainrings like the 34-tooth, ideal for cyclists who want a higher cadence on climbs.

Key features

• Number of teeth: 34, perfect for climbing while maintaining pedaling efficiency.

• BCD: 110mm, a widely used compact road standard.

• Compatibility: designed for 9-speed drivetrains, ensuring precise and smooth chain shifting.

• Material: typically machined aluminum, combining light weight and durability.

• Mounting: classic 5-arm setup, quick and easy to install on a compact crankset.

Why choose a 34-tooth 110mm BCD chainring ?

• Versatility: the 34-tooth chainring allows you to maintain a high cadence even on steep climbs.

• Pedaling comfort: when paired with a larger chainring (often 50 teeth), it creates a compact crankset (50/34), favored by many road cyclists.

• Wide compatibility: fits most road and gravel cranksets using the 110mm BCD standard.

• Durability: built to withstand intensive use, whether for training or racing.

Who should use it ?

The 34-tooth 110mm BCD chainring for 9-speed drivetrains is ideal for road cyclists seeking a compact crankset, as well as gravel riders and touring cyclists looking for easier gearing. It is particularly appreciated on hilly routes where frequent cadence adjustments are necessary.

In short, the 34-tooth 110mm BCD chainring is a strategic choice to improve your drivetrain and optimize climbing performance. Easy to install, durable, and perfectly suited for compact cranksets, it is a key component for road and gravel enthusiasts seeking comfort and versatility.
