The Wagon Wheel is our chainring for Shimano direct mount cranksets that is designed for everything except for 12 speed Shimano HG+ chains. We love Shimano cranks and have been using the Hollowtech 2 design for almost 20 years, but we wanted the option to run them with other drivetrains. We think the crank design is great for touring since preload is easily adjustable and you can remove the cranks with just an allen wrench and a small plastic preload cap tool, and the 24mm steel spindle is strong and stiff. The only problem is that there is limited aftermarket chainring support for direct mount chainrings for these cranks.
We currently only have one option for tooth count at 32 teeth, and one offset at +0mm (revised from 3mm in our previous rings), which is the same offset as Shimano's new generation of 6200 and 8200 series rings and will give you the same chainline as stock, or 3mm wider than stock if using a 6100, 7100, or 8100 series crank. We run these on our Prospector Rohloff builds with a 9 speed chain and a previous generation super boost Shimano crankset like the M6130, M7130 or M8130 for a 59mm chainline (+2mm wider than Rohloff's 57mm) and optimal tire clearance, and on our Stargazer and Sunliner builds with a 12 speed SRAM Eagle chain and Shimano boost crankset like the M6200 or M8200 for a 55mm chainline which is Shimano's new standard and backwards compatible with their previous 52mm boost chainline generation. .

- The trade-off for the extra weight of the stainless steel ring is a longer service life.
