Product Description
Wolf Tooth presents a top - notch Direct Mount Chainring in sleek black. This 26 - tooth chainring is engineered for SRAM 3 - bolt cranksets with a 6mm offset. Crafted from high - quality 7075 - T6 Aluminum Alloy, it's built for durability while saving weight. The patent - pending Drop - Stop asymmetrical tooth design offers excellent wear life, mud clearance, and chain retention. It works with 1x9, 1x10, 1x11, and 1x12 drivetrains. Compatible with all 10, 11, and 12 - speed chains except Shimano 12 - speed ones (which need Wolf Tooth's specific chainrings). For 9 - speed drivetrains, use a 10 - speed chain for better chain retention. It's not suitable for the SRAM 8 - bolt interface. Using a clutch - style rear derailleur is recommended. Technical specs include a chain - retaining single - ring design, round shape, and compatibility with various MTB, DH, and other hubs.
Using this chainring is straightforward. First, make sure your bike has a SRAM 3 - bolt crankset. If you're using a 9 - speed drivetrain, remember to use a 10 - speed chain for a better fit. When it comes to the chain, it'll work with most 10, 11, and 12 - speed chains, but not Shimano 12 - speed ones. You'll need a specific Wolf Tooth chainring for that. It's also important to note that this chainring won't work with the SRAM 8 - bolt interface. For optimal performance, it's recommended to use a clutch - style rear derailleur. As for maintenance, regularly clean the chainring to remove mud and dirt. You can use a mild soap and water solution. After cleaning, dry it thoroughly to prevent rust. Check the teeth regularly for signs of wear, and if you notice excessive wear, it might be time to replace the chainring.
