Rohloff Chainring spacers – 5 units
The Rohloff Chainring spacers (Art. 8243, 5 pcs) let you mount a single chainring securely on a double or triple crankset when converting a bike to the SPEEDHUB 500/14.
Why chainring spacers?
Keep your crankset. Most MTB and trekking cranksets can be reused – only the extra chainrings come off.
Correct clamping. The chainring bolt bushes are too long for a single ring; the spacers go over them so the ring is clamped tight.
Simple fitting. Chainring bolts: 5 mm Allen key, lightly greased, 7 Nm (Rohloff manual).
Set of five. One spacer per chainring bolt on a 5-arm crank.
Same parts as in the SPEEDHUB box
Rohloff packs five chainring spacers in the small parts bag of every SPEEDHUB. Buy this set if yours are lost, or if you are converting a second bike.
Who is it for?
- Riders converting a derailleur bike. Remove the middle and small rings, keep the crankset.
- Anyone who lost the original spacers. A direct replacement for the parts from the SPEEDHUB box.
- Workshops. For SPEEDHUB conversions.

Frequently asked questions
Which chainring do I keep?
Rohloff explains that on triple cranks the outermost ring usually sits in the right position for the SPEEDHUB chainline.
Do I need these on a single-ring crank?
No. A crank designed for one chainring has the correct bolt length already.
Is this for a belt drive?
Belt drive conversions use belt-specific front sprockets; ask us about your crankset.
About Rohloff
Rohloff AG from Fuldatal near Kassel, Germany, builds the SPEEDHUB 500/14: a 14-speed gear hub with evenly spaced gears, a 526% gear range and a sealed oil bath. As robust as the hub is, Rohloff sells small wear and replacement parts individually, so a SPEEDHUB is repaired, not replaced.
BoodaBike (Massive Bikes, Budapest) is an official Rohloff service centre, trained by Rohloff, and an official European distributor of Rohloff hubs and parts. We sell genuine Rohloff parts and we are happy to help you identify the right one for your hub version.
