Product Description
Discover the Wolf Tooth Direct Mount Chainring, a top - notch cycling component crafted for SRAM cranks with a 3 - bolt mounting style. This premium chainring, made from 7075 - T6 aluminum alloy, offers great durability while saving weight. It features a patent - pending Drop - Stop asymmetrical tooth design, which provides excellent wear life, superb mud clearance, and reliable chain retention. It's compatible with 1x9, 1x10, 1x11, and 1x12 drivetrains and most 10, 11, and 12 - speed chains, except Shimano 12 - speed chains. For 9 - speed drivetrains, a 10 - speed chain is recommended for a tighter fit. It's not compatible with the SRAM 8 - bolt interface. Using a clutch - style rear derailleur is advised. Available in a sleek black color, it's a chain - retaining single ring that's round in shape with 30 teeth, an offset of 6mm, and is compatible with various hubs like 135/142 MTB, 150/157 DH, and 170/177 hubs.
Using this chainring is easy. First, make sure your SRAM crankset has a 3 - bolt mounting style. Then, simply mount the chainring onto the crankset with the 6mm offset. For the best performance, if you're using a 9 - speed drivetrain, use a 10 - speed chain. It's important to note that this chainring is not compatible with the SRAM 8 - bolt interface and Shimano 12 - speed chains. For Shimano 12 - speed chains, you'll need Wolf Tooth's specific chainrings. When it comes to maintenance, regularly clean the chainring to remove mud and debris. This will help maintain its wear life and chain retention. Also, using a clutch - style rear derailleur is recommended as it can improve the overall performance of the drivetrain.
