Hope Tech Retainer Ring 104 PCD - Manual

Issue1 03/2014
HOPE Technology Single Chainring & Retainer Ring Instructions
1. Install the chainring so the engraved writing and chainring bolt counterbore is facing inward. Note that the 30T Retainer Ring doesn’t
have any counterbore so make sure the engraved writing is facing inward.
2. For the Single Chainring align the see through pockets with the crank arm. For the Retainer Ring, align the split pocket with the crank
arm.
3. Install the chainring bolts. Make sure the chainring bolts are the correct length to ensure enough thread engagement or not too long
which could prevent proper tightening. In a cross pattern, tighten the 4 chainring bolts to manufacturer recommended torque (usually
10-12 N.m for steel chainring bolts).
4. Make sure the chainring seats perfectly flush to the spider. There should be no play at all. If there is any, it is very likely that the chain-
ring bolts used are too long.
Note : After re-installing your chainset and chain, to minimise the chainring wear you may need to adjust the chainline. This depends
on the range of cogs used on the rear but to adjust the chainline we recommend inserting some shims between the chainring
and crankset spider.
