This plastic ring is infamous in the cycling world for being extremely fragile. It easily strips out when you try to adjust it, and flexes continuously under heavy pedaling forces, allowing the crank spindle to develop tiny amounts of side-to-side play. This lateral movement introduces dirt inside your bottom bracket, ruining your bearing seals and creating loud, frustrating creaking sounds. The CeramicSpeed preload ring is CNC-machined from solid aluminum alloy with a stainless steel bolt. It remains completely rigid, locks in place perfectly, and establishes permanent silence across your drivetrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,12\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11,12\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDo I need a specialized tool to install this alloy preload ring replacement?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,13\"\u003eNo specialized proprietary tools are required. The assembly threads smoothly onto your non-drive side SRAM DUB crank spindle by hand just like the stock ring. Once your crank arm is fully torqued down to factory specifications onto your spindle, you simply turn the alloy adjuster by hand until it gently snugs flush against your bottom bracket dust shield to take up any lateral slack. Once your axial spacing is perfect, you lock it in permanently by tightening the integrated M3 stainless steel screw using a standard, common 2mm hex wrench.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"11,15\"\u003eAuthentic Local Stock – Skip Port Surcharges \u0026amp; Customs Hassles\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,16\"\u003eAvoid the extreme frustration of buying small premium upgrades and structural components from international online warehouses, only to face weeks of shipping delays, exorbitant courier freight minimums, or unexpected port clearance hold-ups.
