Abstract:
A seal for a bicycle drivetrain is configured to shield and protect part of the bicycle drivetrain from contamination by materials commonly found in the cycling environment, namely dirt, oil, water and other debris found on cycling surfaces. The seal is configured to shield the bicycle drivetrain from grit that may foul lockring interfaces, leading to seized threads, and cause difficulty removing the lock ring when it comes time to service the motor or replace the chainring.
