SRAM Updates Ochain - Same Design, Improved Durability (Product Review)

Overall Review

Since acquiring Ochain last July, SRAM has been working on a few updates to improve the system's durability. The design and benefits of the crank-mounted active spider remain unchanged—providing dampened rearward rotation of the chain ring to isolate the rider from chain-induced feedback—but the tolerances and sealing have been improved to increase service intervals. They’re also introducing a new ‘External Travel Adjust Kit’ as an upgrade for internally adjustable models, and have reduced compatibility to just SRAM 3- and 8-bolt cranks, and the Bosch CX Gen 5 motor.

Ochain's Active Spider Eliminates Pedal Kickback - REVIEW (Product Review)

Overall Review

If you've ever ridden a full-suspension bike without a chain, you likely noticed an improvement in its suspension performance.

On many bikes, chainstay growth during suspension compression causes the crankset to rotate counter-clockwise. This is also known as pedal kickback.
