OneUp SWITCH – A quick-change direct mount chainring system
Switch was developed to reduce the cost of replacement chainrings, increase compatibility with new offsets and to make the process of changing a chainring much faster and simpler. Switch also makes it easier for local bike shops to cover the ever-growing number of chainring standards, without a huge investment in inventory.
Rings can be replaced in less than a minute with only a 4mm Allen key, without removing your crank. Simply loosen the bolts 2 turns, unlock the ring by rotating it by 20 degrees and pull it over and off your crank. Reverse these steps to install your new ring. If you plan to ride a trail that you know is steeper than your local trails, you can switch to a smaller ring in the parking lot, in less time than it takes your friend to put on his riding shoes!
A Switch chainring is the same price as our existing direct mount chainrings, but the ring and carrier can be replaced individually at a fraction of the cost.
The system supports most major mounting standards, sizes and offsets in both round and oval (130 direct mount ring combinations)
- 5 Direct Mount Standards (SRAM, Race Face, Cannondale, E13 and Hope)
- 5 Ring Sizes (28-36T)
- 2 Profiles (Round and Oval)
- 3 Offsets (Regular, Boost and Super Boost)
EWS Proven
Every EWS World Champion in the last 3 years has pedalled his way to series victory on a OneUp narrow wide chainring.
One Tool
Many of the tools required to remove some cranks aren’t part of a basic home tool kit and are definitely not on your multitool. Cannondale, E13 and Hope cranksets all require proprietary tools to replace their chainrings. Swap a Switch chainring with just a 4mm Allen key.
Not Another Standard
The two-piece system is the most efficient way to handle the expanding number of chainring standards. It is not a new standard in itself. With quick-change rings and a cheaper replacement cost, Switch has some real benefits over a one-piece chainring. At the same price as our old design, what’s not to like?
