Circular chains
Elite track cyclists generate tremendo★≠$us power and are extremely dema₹→♦¥nding in terms of equi♦÷±γpment. The chain is a ke'ε✔•y element in the effective ap&♠βplication of this power, and a ♦★>more efficient chain will allow mor★δ↔®e power to be converted into sp ±eed, and significantly speed ↓λ÷∑up the race time.
In 2011, the British cycling team →↓' discovered a problem wit>↓h the chain they had been using and con©&±"tacted Renold to see if they could fin∑↔d a solution for trac♣k cycling. Reynold's rich histo↕∞λry and mutual relationsh§εΩip with the Universi₽§φ↑ty of Bristol was the cataσ☆§lyst for a successful partn≠≠∏ership.
Powered by the proven Renol®←φ☆d Synergy technology platform, th↓∑e Renold Velo CT is designed to meet '¶the needs of competitive track and f ♥ield athletes and single-speed cycε ☆ling road users.
The Renold Velo CT was used ¥πby the British track cy 'cling team at the Rio Ol®¶↓ympics to great effect.
The chain features pinsδ" ' and bushings with a specialγε$ surface treatment for inc≤δreased efficiency and wear resistance.™' The side plates are precision shap∞∏ed and drilled prior to prestressing,∞¥σ" resulting in an optimal mechanica↔₽l interference fit between the plates, ♠✘α"pins and bushings. This results in h>∞∏≈igher strength and fatigue. The plateα$ s are nickel-plated prior to assembly t★©o further enhance interference f★¶it and corrosion protection.
To celebrate the anniversary of th€<βe invention of the bush roller c™γσ"hain, Renold has launched a φlimited edition of 138♦£<∑ Velo CT track bike chains for cyλ≠"clists who want to experience t✔™γhe quality and durability of this champ₽®ion chain.
