Finally rolling out :) some 11-speed 1x rings and restocking track rings! View this email in your browser Hello,



It's been a while. First let me get this out of the way, there are 1x 11-speed rings (110bcd) and track chainrings (144bcd) in my store right now, including some of those camo ones that people like... shop.44rn.com

Ok, that's done, and now I can give y'all some updates. 1) I wasn't in a cave, I was in Upstate New York. 2) I had two machine shops totally bail on me after months of courting and it set me back about two years. I finally found a good machine shop in California to work with on these rings. They. Look. Great. 3) My eyewear project kind of took me to a new place, and I've been running the engineering and design department in one of the last remaining metal eyewear factories in America, at Randolph Engineering, just outside of Boston, Massachusetts. It's been wild, but has taken a lot of my time and put AARN into full side-hustle mode. I'll try to be as responsive as possible if you send me emails but sometimes it takes a while and I apologize if that has been frustrating.



Thanks for your support,



Aaron introducing: aarn 110#38/40/42 1x 11-speed chainring (110bcd//38/40/42- tooth)

Built on the same technology as the classic 144#n track bicycle chainrings, these 1x 11-speed rings feature a unique tooth profile designed for maximum engagement and minimal wear. The double-chamfer wide teeth provide quiet and smooth tooth re-engagement at maximum chainline angle, and the beveled transition out of the narrow pocket promotes dirt clearance in the toughest conditions. Manufactured in California, USA, from certified 7075-T6 aluminum plate stock. These chainrings are fully CNC machined. All edges (front and rear) are machine broken with a 45-degree 0.010-in deep chamfer. Product is packaged in a custom letterpress printed envelope, and shipped USPS Priority Mail (or First Class for International orders).

I am super honored that Matt, Chas, and the guys over at MASH are such strong supporters of these products. The Green Video is probably the most fun cycling video I have ever seen. Check it out. travel photos and general bullshit Like I said above, I've been working that day job, and it has been pretty good. One big perk is traveling around the world (mostly Europe), and I have been keeping my 35mm film blog (casualroll.com) updated semi-regularly with a photo-journal of sorts documenting my traveling and life. I know that tumblr is dead, but it's over there rotting if anyone wants to check it out. Also, if you have been following my stories on instagram, I am at 6% in Duolingo for Italian, which is like 15min deep, shameful. Gotta work on that. your awesome photos here Everyone has been tagging #aarn and mentioning me (@aarn_) in some really amazing photos. It's great to see people getting out and enjoying riding bikes all over the world. Thank you! king kog brooklyn rings This happened. We started working on this project back before my manufacturing situation took a turn for the worst and I was super excited to work with Shawn and King Kog Brooklyn on this...the product and packaging turned out great. SOLD OUT, unfortunately for anyone who didn't grab one. Below is a very nice shot that Kyle took of the King Kog colorway 110#38 11-speed compatible ring. Ok, thanks, I'll probably email you again never. Working on getting restocked for the next run already and hope to have a couple of new things that never made it into the pipeline. So maybe I'll email you then. Share Tweet Forward
