Every once in a while something really stellar comes along, something that bucks trends and flies in the face of traditional thinking. Something that knocks down barriers and blows the doors off conventional thinking and possibilities. Think outside of the box and expand your limits.
This is one of those products. Cycling tradition has been constrained front chainrings to a 16 tooth difference limit (and most competitors can’t do that well). Now WickWerks introduces the Road Bike Ultra Wide, a 53/34 tooth chainring set — a 19 tooth differential — that shifts better than traditional compact chainrings that only have a 16t jump. Why? Because it offers the best of both worlds to Road Bike riders. You asked for it, we delivered. WickWerks Shift Technology is that good.

What is Ultra Wide?
When the 50/34 first became available, the 16 tooth jump from the 34 tooth small ring to the 50 tooth large ring was considered enormous — and for the available technology, it was. It also did not shift that well, but it answered a customer need for better climbing ratios while maintaining most of the top end for speed (compared to the traditional 53/39). Then came the 52/36 dubbed “mid compact” as middle ground, also with the same 16 tooth jump.
Now comes the new age with the best of both worlds. Enter the WickWerks Ultra Wide Ratio 53/34. No More Compromise !!It provides the same climbing capability of the 34t small ring, and the top end of the 53t large ring. Most important, the shifting of this set is better with a 19 tooth jump than others with only 16! Made possible with WickWerks BRIDGE Shift Technology — the capability that has made us famous. This is the Ultra Wide Ratio, and it’s breaks traditional barriers in Road Bike chainrings.
Better shifting, wider ratio, and a load of sweet advantages. What else could we want? Read the Full Story.
Availability
The Road Bike Ultra Wide Ratio chainrings are available for several different crank types. See the Crank Type Tab above to be sure you’re selecting the right chainrings. Also, for the first time, WickWerks is offering rings for the 110/112 BCD Campagnolo cranks. If you ride Campy, now is your chance to experience the incredible shifting of BRIDGE Shift Technology — miles ahead of the traditional shift pins.
Skeptical?
Skeptical is understandable. When a new product breaks traditional barriers — especially when other, much more established companies say it can’t be done — that’s a reason to doubt. That’s also a reason to look closer, because technology continues to move, and things get better, nicer, faster, smoother. Our experience is it does not take people more than a few minutes on the bike to realize this is the real deal. This is the next plateau in shifting.

Which Crank Type Do I Have?
Examine the images below, then expand the accordion bars to read about crank details. This will help you determine what crank you have, and which chainring option to purchase.
Please Note: Paint schemes and decoration will vary by manufacturer, by product level and by year of production — all you need to do is identify the shape and bolting configuration.
The word “Standard” is a bit of a misnomer when it comes to cranks. It’s called “Standard” because cranks of this configuration have been around a long time, and are still quite popular.
These cranks are made by many companies including all the big names (Shimano, Sram, FSA, RaceFace, Rotor, Suntour, etc.) and come in 2 most common configurations — 130mm BCD & 110mm BCD (also called “Compact”). A 110mm BCD crank is shown. (Note, there are other BCD’s for this configuration produced over the years, but other than Campagnolo, there are not many of significant popularity currently.)
To identify this style as “Your Crank”, compare the bolting configuration to the image; then, check the Bolt Circle Diameter.
This unequal 4-Bolt design by Shimano is now their higher-end stape. The Dura-Ace, FC-9000, is shown here, but they come in most of the product levels like Ultegra FC-6800, 105 FC-5800 and even the Tiagra FC-4700.
All of these Shimano cranks are 110mm BCD so you don’t have to worry about which Bolt Circle Diameter.
To identify this style as “Your Crank”, compare to the image and make sure the functional parts, like bolt locations, are the same. Names and decorations may be different.
Exogram is the name this crank style was originally called. Mostly it’s just Red 22 now, but it’s different from other SRAM cranks, and it needs different hardware to mount rings on it.
The thing that distinguishes this crank is the 5th bolt, hidden from view, that threads into the back of the crank arm. Other SRAM cranks have hidden bolts, but only this type has the bolt that threads into the crank arm.
Made only by SRAM, this crank is available in both 130mm & 110mm BCD.
To identify this style as “Your Crank”, compare the bolting configuration to the image; then, check the Bolt Circle Diameter.
These cranks, also with the 22 designation are similar to the Exogram, but different enough that they require different mounting hardware.
The thing that distinguishes this crank is the 5th bolt, hidden from view, that DOES NOT thread into the crank arm. Though it may look permenent, the spider of these cranks can come off and be replaced — convenient when you want to mount a Quarq or direct mount single, or change BCD.
Made only by SRAM, this crank is available in both 130mm & 110mm BCD.
