Product Description
The Wolf Tooth Elliptical Direct Mount Chainring with 32 teeth is a game - changer for your bike. It's specifically designed to fit SRAM cranksets 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. Elliptical rings ensure a smoother and more efficient pedal rotation, giving you better traction on the road. The Drop - Stop chainrings are suitable for 1x9, 1x10, 1x11, and 1x12 drivetrains. They're compatible with all 10, 11, and 12 - speed chains, except for Shimano 12 - speed chains, which need Wolf Tooth's Shimano 12 - speed specific chainrings. If you're using a 9 - speed drivetrain, a 10 - speed chain is recommended for a tighter fit and better chain retention. However, it's not compatible with the SRAM RED and Force AXS 8 - bolt interface. Made from long - lasting 7075 - T6 aluminum, a clutch - style rear derailleur is suggested for optimal use.

Using this chainring is quite straightforward. First, make sure your SRAM cranksets have removable spiders as this chainring is designed to fit such models. If you're using a 9 - speed drivetrain, remember to use a 10 - speed chain for a better fit. When it comes to the chain, be aware that it's compatible with most 10, 11, and 12 - speed chains, but Shimano 12 - speed chains require a specific chainring from Wolf Tooth. Also, note that this chainring won't work with the SRAM RED and Force AXS 8 - bolt interface. For the best performance, it's recommended to use a clutch - style rear derailleur. In terms of maintenance, since it's made from 7075 - T6 aluminum, it's quite durable. But you should still keep it clean. After a long ride, wipe it down with a clean cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Check the chain regularly to ensure it's properly seated on the chainring, and if you notice any signs of wear on the chainring teeth, it might be time for a replacement.
