Wolf Tooth's Elliptical Aero Chainring in black is a game - changer for racing enthusiasts and those seeking speed optimization. Made for the Shimano GRX 800 series, this 46 - tooth chainring is a perfect fit. It's strong and lightweight, crafted from premium 7075 - T6 aluminum, offering both exceptional strength and weight savings. The elliptical design provides smoother, more efficient pedal rotation, giving better traction due to steadier torque on the rear wheel. You'll harness more power in the Power Zone and enjoy easier pedaling in the Recovery Zone. It features the patented Drop - Stop® design, ideal for chain retention and mud clearance. The Drop - Stop ST is specifically for the Shimano 12 - speed Hyperglide+ chain used in GRX 800 12 - speed setups. Compatible with Shimano GRX 800 series cranksets and intended for 50mm chainlines, it offers a clean, integrated look. It gives you a similar overall range to standard 2x drivetrain configurations using 1x drivetrain systems and wider - range rear cassettes. Manufactured in Minnesota, USA, this chainring is a top - notch choice for cyclists.
Using your Wolf Tooth Elliptical Aero Chainring is straightforward. First, make sure it's compatible with your Shimano GRX 800 series crankset and 50mm chainline. Just install it like you would a regular chainring. When riding, you'll notice smoother pedaling and better power transfer. Remember, the Drop - Stop ST is only for Shimano Hyperglide+ and KMC 12 - speed chains, so don't use other chains with it. For maintenance, regularly clean the chainring to remove mud and debris. You can use a mild soap and water solution. After cleaning, dry it thoroughly. Check for any signs of wear on the teeth, and if you notice excessive wear, it might be time to replace the chainring. Store it in a dry place when not in use to prevent rusting. Enjoy your ride with this high - performance chainring!
