The Wolf Tooth Elliptical Direct Mount Chainring in sleek black is a game - changer. It's designed to fit SRAM cranksets with removable spiders. With a 10% ovality and 112 - degree timing after top dead center, it offers the perks of an oval ring, like better rear - wheel traction, without the typical drawbacks. Elliptical rings ensure smoother, more efficient pedal rotation for enhanced traction. The Drop - Stop design works with 1x9, 1x10, 1x11, and 1x12 drivetrains. It's compatible with most 10, 11, and 12 - speed chains, except Shimano 12 - speed ones which need Wolf Tooth's specific chainrings. For 9 - speed drivetrains, a 10 - speed chain provides a tighter fit. It's not compatible with the SRAM RED and Force AXS 8 - bolt interface. Made from long - lasting 7075 - T6 aluminum, using a clutch - style rear derailleur is recommended.

Using your Wolf Tooth Elliptical Direct Mount Chainring is easy. First, make sure it fits your SRAM crankset with removable spiders. If you're using a 9 - speed drivetrain, use a 10 - speed chain for a better fit. Remember, this chainring isn't compatible with the SRAM RED and Force AXS 8 - bolt interface or Shimano 12 - speed chains (you'll need a specific Wolf Tooth chainring for those). It's recommended to use a clutch - style rear derailleur to get the most out of it. When it comes to maintenance, keep it clean. Wipe it down after each ride to remove dirt and grime. Since it's made of 7075 - T6 aluminum, it's durable, but avoid hitting it hard against rough objects. Check the chain regularly to ensure smooth operation. This chainring is designed to work with different drivetrain speeds and hub types, so you can enjoy a more efficient and smoother pedal rotation with better traction on your bike.
