Elliptical 104 BCD Chainring - 34t 104 BCD 4-Bolt Drop-Stop B BLK

The Wolf Tooth Elliptical 104 BCD Chainring in sleek black is designed specifically for 104 BCD mountain cranksets. With a 10% ovality and a 112-degree timing after top dead center, it offers the perks of an oval ring without the typical drawbacks. Its patent-pending asymmetrical Drop-Stop tooth design ensures excellent wear life, great mud clearance, and top-notch chain retention. These chainrings feel like having 2 fewer teeth during the weak part of your pedal stroke and 2 more when you have the most power. They're compatible with 1x9, 1x10, 1x11, and 1x12 drivetrains. All 10-, 11-, and 12-speed chains work, except Shimano 12-speed chains which need Wolf Tooth's specific chainrings. For 9-speed drivetrains, use a 10-speed chain for a tighter fit. Made from long-lasting 7075-T6 aluminum, these threaded chainrings require 10mm chainring bolts. The chainline ranges from 48mm - 50mm depending on the crankset. Keywords: SRAM T-Type, SRAM Transmission.

Using this chainring is easy. First, make sure it's compatible with your bike's crankset. If you have a 9-speed drivetrain, use a 10-speed chain for a better fit. When installing, use 10mm chainring bolts to secure it properly. Remember, Shimano 12-speed chains won't work with this chainring and need a specific one from Wolf Tooth. As for maintenance, regularly clean the chainring to remove mud and dirt. This will help keep its performance high and extend its lifespan. Also, check the chain retention from time to time to ensure a smooth ride.
