Product Description
The Wolf Tooth Elliptical Direct Mount Chainring in 28t is a high - performance component designed for Race Face CINCH cranks with removable spiders. Its 10% ovality and 112 - degree timing after top dead center offer the benefits of an oval ring, like better rear - wheel traction, without the typical drawbacks. The patent - pending asymmetrical Drop - Stop tooth design ensures long wear life, excellent mud clearance, and reliable chain retention. The elliptical shape boosts efficiency in the recovery zone and increases traction through consistent torque. It's suitable for 1x9, 1x10, 1x11, and 1x12 drivetrains. Compatible with all 10, 11, and 12 - speed chains except Shimano 12 - speed chains. For 9 - speed drivetrains, use a 10 - speed chain for a tighter fit. Made from long - lasting 7075 - T6 aluminum. A clutch - style rear derailleur is recommended. Available in sleek black color.
Using this chainring is straightforward. First, make sure your bike has Race Face CINCH cranks with removable spiders. Then, install the chainring according to the standard installation procedures for direct - mount chainrings. When it comes to drivetrains, it works well with 1x9, 1x10, 1x11, and 1x12 setups. Just remember, if you're using a 9 - speed drivetrain, use a 10 - speed chain for a better fit. Also, Shimano 12 - speed chains need a specific Wolf Tooth chainring. For maintenance, keep it clean by regularly wiping off dirt and mud. Since it's made of aluminum, avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the surface. It's a good idea to check the chain retention and tooth wear periodically. And for better performance, consider using a clutch - style rear derailleur.
