Product Details

Overview & Technology

SRAM 22T Chainring (Model CR-MLEG-64-A1) is a purpose-built inner chainring for 2x10 MTB drivetrains. Machined in a 64 BCD 4-bolt pattern, this 22-tooth steel ring comes in a blast black finish and is sold as a no-pin, inner-position replacement for riders maintaining vintage or modern 2x10 setups. Construction and coating: The ring is made from hardened steel for high wear resistance and long life under chain friction and debris exposure. The blast black surface adds corrosion protection and reduces glare on black drivetrains. Note that this design is not a narrow-wide tooth profile — it relies on proper chainline and front-derailleur setup for secure chain retention in single- and double-ring systems.

Key Features & Benefits

Durability-first materials: Steel construction resists wear from abrasive mud, sand and frequent shifting, making it a robust choice for mountain use. The hardened tooth profile holds up longer than many soft alloy inner rings. • 22 teeth: Optimises low-cadence climbing gears and helps maintain chain tension on steep terrain. • 64 BCD, 4-bolt: Direct-fit replacement for cranks using the 64mm bolt circle diameter standard for inner rings. • No-pin design: Smooth inner ring edge (no chain pin) for quieter engagement and simplified installation.

Fit, Compatibility & Installation

This chainring is specified for 10-speed drivetrains and is intended as an inner-position ring in 2x10 set-ups. Verify your crank uses a 64 BCD 4-bolt inner ring before purchase; the hole pattern and bolt spacing are critical for correct fit. Manufacturer part number: 11.6218.023.001 (SRAM 391063). • Speed compatibility: Optimised for 10-speed chains; it will function with many 9- and 10-speed chains but may not track perfectly with 11-speed chains. • Installation tips: Use fresh chainring bolts, torque to your crankmaker's specification (commonly 8–12 Nm), and check chainline and front derailleur limit screws after install.

Who This Chainring Is For

If you ride a 2x10 mountain bike and need a tough, long-lasting inner ring replacement, this SRAM 22T steel ring is a practical choice. It's ideal for riders who prioritize durability over ultra-lightweight drivetrain parts — trail riders, commuters who hit rough conditions, and anyone maintaining legacy 2x10 setups. Not ideal for riders running modern 1x narrow-wide systems or those seeking the lightest alloy sprint parts. Choose this ring when replacement reliability and longevity are the priority.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this chainring fit my crankset?

This ring fits cranksets that accept a 64 mm BCD inner chainring with a 4-bolt pattern. Check your crank's BCD specification in the manual or measure the bolt circle diameter to confirm compatibility before purchasing.

Is the chainring compatible with 11-speed chains?

The SRAM 22T is designed for 10-speed drivetrains. While some 11-speed chains may physically work, optimal shifting and chain retention are not guaranteed — for best results stick to 10-speed chains or consult the crank manufacturer.

Do I need a chainring pin or narrow-wide profile for retention?

This ring is a no-pin, non-narrow-wide inner ring. It relies on correct chainline and a properly adjusted front derailleur for chain control. If you need enhanced retention for aggressive trail or gravity riding, consider a narrow-wide single-ring conversion instead.

What torque should I use for installation?

Follow your crank manufacturer's torque specification for chainring bolts. When a specification isn't provided, a common safe range is 8–12 Nm. Use threadlocker on aluminum bolts if recommended, and retorque after a short test ride.

How long will a steel chainring last compared to aluminum?

Steel chainrings typically outlast aluminum under high-abrasion conditions because steel resists tooth wear better. Lifespan depends on riding conditions, maintenance, and chain wear; steel is a good choice for muddy, gritty, or high-mileage use.

Can I replace only the inner ring and keep my existing outer ring?

Yes — replacing the inner ring independently is common. Ensure the new inner ring matches the outer ring's tooth profile and that the combined chainline and spacing are correct to maintain crisp front shifting.

Buying Guide

When choosing a replacement chainring for a 2x10 mountain bike, prioritize BCD compatibility, tooth count, and material. The bolt circle diameter must match your crank's inner-ring mounting holes — here, 64 mm BCD is common on many mountain cranks. Decide between steel (durable, longer-wearing) and aluminum (lighter, but wear faster) based on riding conditions and maintenance habits. Also consider chainring tooth count: a 22T inner ring lowers your lowest gear for steep climbs and helps keep chain tension. Finally, confirm speed compatibility — this ring is optimized for 10-speed chains — and plan to check chainline and front derailleur settings after installation for best shifting performance.
