Tomii44RN-01

Tomii44RN-02

Aaron Panone of 44RN has been working on a new 130 BCD chainring, meant for 1×10 drivetrains or single speeds. These are still an early prototype, exclusively for Tomii Cycles but expect more details to come.

Aaron and I are going to be working on more products in 2013 and these photos just got me very excited for new things to come. See more at the Tomii Cycles Flickr.

A Thing of Beauty: Purple Anodized 44RN 144#47 Track Chainring

Back when I did the Raidô contest, Aaron at 44RN made a few of these purple anodized 44RN 144#47 chainrings. I’ve been holding onto mine for well over a year, waiting on the perfect project to put it on. Over the past few months, I’ve been slowly acquiring parts for a new track bike build, more to come!

About Your New 44RN 144#47 Track Ring

A few notes about the 144#47 track chain rings by 44RN. These rings are designed to be extremely quiet, right out of the packaging but there are a few things you need to do:

-run a new chain
-run a new cog

Check out why below.

Purple Projects: Silver and Black 44RN 144#47 Track Chainrings in Stock

Finally! As the second installment of the Purple Projects, I’ve teamed up with 44RN on another run of his 144#47 track chainrings. Machined in Boston, designed at 44RN, in Somerville, these rings have been put through the ringer for months. Pick up a silver or a black now in the PiNP Web Shop.

More 44RN 144#47 Chainrings Coming Soon

I put this up on my Tumblr, meaning to schedule it for a week from now, only to have it go live today, sending a slew of emails my way. It is true, 44RN is machining a new batch of 144#47 chainrings this week. That means another week or so for anodizing. As it stands, there will be 50 silver and 50 black rings in my web shop around Halloween.

This is only to alert you that you should set money aside for one. As far as I know, they’ll be $77, the same as before. Aaron is a very talented designer and he is doing this out of the goodness of his heart. He’s not making much money here, and it’s only after constant pestering that I convinced him to do this.

Everyone who’s had these rings (myself included) has nothing but positive things to say about them. So get stoked!

44RN 144#47 on Chas’ Cinelli MASH

Look, I’m not going to sit here and say that the 44RN is the best track chainring ever but I will say that they look damn nice. Someone should convince Aaron to make more of these 144bcd 47t rings. I love mine and Chas has been riding his since he won it at Stupor Bowl. It looks damn fine on his Cinelli Mash low pro.
