Shimano Deore 3x9-Speed Chainring 32 Teeth

The Shimano Deore 3x9s 32-tooth chainring is designed for triple cranksets and for mountain biking, cross country and touring bikes. It is made from steel, has a pitch circle diameter (BCD) of 104 mm and works with 9-speed systems. The manufacturer code is Y-1LD98080 and the stated compatibility is with FC-M590-L and FC-M591-L cranksets.

The tooth count is the deciding factor: with 32 teeth, this chainring provides higher gearing than the smaller versions in the series. Check the BCD of 104 mm and compatibility with your crankset before buying, as this model is listed only for FC-M590-L and FC-M591-L.

Founded in 1921 in Sakai, Japan, by Shozaburo Shimano, Shimano is still based in the same city today. For cyclists, it makes drivetrains, brakes, wheels, pedals and cycling shoes. Its history in bicycle components began with the production of freewheels in 1922.
