chainring
Crank-mounted bike gear
A chainring is the toothed disc attached to a bicycle's crank that engages the chain.
Most bikes have one to three chainrings of different sizes; shifting between them changes the gear ratio.
Larger chainrings make pedaling harder but faster; smaller ones are easier for climbing.
I replaced my worn chainring before the race.
