The designers pondered the question of whether the lack of a chain was a factor in the way their bikes performed during those runs. OChain was the result.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe OChain Active Spider provides chainless suspension performance, but...with a chain!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe OChain is a replacement crank spider that allows for a few degrees of rearward rotation of the chainring as the suspension compresses. This effectively isolates the drivetrain from the suspension, reducing the negative effects of chain tension and pedal kickback, while also improving the performance under braking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsed by Pro riders on the world circuit, including Wyn Masters, Adam Brayton, Charlie Hatton, and Aussie hero Jack Moir.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is Pedal Kickback?\u003c\/strong\u003e Pedal kickback is the undesirable tug backwards on your pedals as the movement of your suspension creates excessive tension on the chain. This is really noticeable on some bikes but not on others. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho's this item for: \u003c\/strong\u003eThe OChain is designed to improve the downhill performance of full-suspension bikes and is intended for Enduro and DH riders. Some suspension designs create more chain growth than others so some riders may feel more of a benefit than others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eMaximum rider weight of 85kg\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe active design of the OChain means that it will introduce a degree of lag when initiating the pedal stroke. Pedalling forces will hold the OChain forward, making it inactive until you stop pedalling. If you're an XC racer or spend a lot of time riding techy climbs that require super snappy engagement and ratcheting manoeuvres the OChain probably isn't for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7075 T6 aluminium, titanium bolts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does it fit: \u003c\/strong\u003eAttaches to direct mount systems from Sram, Hope, Race-face, E-13 and Shimano and requires a 30 to 36-tooth 104mm BCD chainring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eCompatible with 2-piece 5mm bolts only.\u003c\/span\u003e Comes with Ti bolts included :)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does it work?\u003c\/strong\u003e The OChain is a spring-loaded spider that allows the chainring to rotate backwards between 4°, 6°, or 9° depending on which elastomers are installed. The rearwards rotation reduces the effect of chain tension as the rear suspension compresses, allowing it to move more freely and reducing the feedback felt through the pedals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComes with 6° elastomers fitted, includes 4° and 9° elastomers to tune it to match your bike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChainline: \u003c\/strong\u003e52mm (boost only)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight: \u003c\/strong\u003e128g.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 93 mm x 93 mm x 13 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSilent in operation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignificantly decreases pedal kickback.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproved suspension performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes titanium bolts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OChain","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40691052019757,"sku":"10018703","price":499.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0575\/7052\/5229\/products\/OChain_MTB_Active_Spider_E_Thirteen_Direct_Mount_Nero_01_84fb0ea6-7144-42e9-a5b6-bd4126f8e8e2.jpg?v=1654856542","url":"https:\/\/www.mtbdirect.com.au\/products\/ochain-mtb-active-spider-e-thirteen-direct-mount-nero","provider":"MTB Direct Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
