Shimano Deore 3x9-Speed Chainring

The Shimano Deore 3x9s chainring with 22 teeth is designed for triple cranksets on mountain bikes and touring bikes. It is made from steel, has a pitch circle diameter (BCD) of 64 mm and works with 9-speed systems. It is compatible with FC-M590-L and FC-M591-L cranksets, as well as the FC-T4060, and is used for All Mountain, Cross Country and Touring.

Check the number of teeth: fewer teeth make pedalling easier uphill, while more teeth give higher gears on the flat and downhill. The finish is black. Before buying, check that your crankset's BCD is 64 mm and that the number of speeds matches your drivetrain.

Founded in 1921 in Sakai, Japan, by Shozaburo Shimano, Shimano is still based in the same city today. For cyclists, it makes drivetrains, brakes, wheels, pedals and cycling shoes. Its history in bicycle components began with the production of freewheels in 1922.
