Elliptical Direct Mount Chainring - 30t RaceFace/Easton CINCH Direct Mount Drop-Stop B For Boost Cranks 3mm Offset BLK

The Wolf Tooth Elliptical Direct Mount Chainring in sleek black is a game - changer for your bike. It's specially designed for Race Face CINCH cranks with removable spiders. With an ovality of 10% and a timing of 112 degrees after top dead center, it offers the advantages of an oval ring like better rear - wheel traction without the typical drawbacks. The patented asymmetrical Drop - Stop tooth design ensures long wear life, great mud clearance, and excellent chain retention. The elliptical shape boosts efficiency in the recovery zone and increases traction due to consistent torque. It works with 1x9, 1x10, 1x11, and 1x12 drivetrains, and is compatible with most 10, 11, and 12 - speed chains, except Shimano 12 - speed chains which need a specific chainring. For a 9 - speed drivetrain, use a 10 - speed chain for a tighter fit. Made from durable 7075 - T6 aluminum, it's built to last. A clutch - style rear derailleur is recommended for optimal performance.

Using this chainring is straightforward. First, make sure your bike has Race Face CINCH cranks with removable spiders. Install the chainring onto the cranks following the standard procedures. If you're using a 9 - speed drivetrain, remember to use a 10 - speed chain for better chain retention. And if you have a Shimano 12 - speed chain, you'll need to get the specific Wolf Tooth Shimano 12 - speed chainring. For maintenance, regularly clean the chainring to remove mud and dirt. You can use a mild detergent and a soft brush. After cleaning, dry it thoroughly. It's also a good idea to check the chainring for any signs of wear and tear. Using a clutch - style rear derailleur will help keep the chain in place and improve the overall performance of the chainring.
