Product Description
The Wolf Tooth Elliptical Chainring in sleek black is specially crafted for Shimano GRX 4 - bolt 110 Asymmetric BCD cranksets, including RX600 and RX810. With an ovality of 10% and a 112 - degree timing after top dead center, it offers great rear - wheel traction without the typical drawbacks of oval rings. Its Drop - Stop asymmetrical tooth design ensures long wear life, excellent mud clearance, and reliable chain retention. The Powertrac elliptical design gives it the effective diameter of a 2 - tooth bigger chainring. This chainring is suitable for 1x9, 1x10, 1x11, and 1x12 drivetrains, compatible with all 10, 11, and 12 - speed chains except Shimano 12 - speed chains. For Shimano 12 - speed chains, you need Wolf Tooth's specific chainrings. If using a 9 - speed drivetrain, a 10 - speed chain is recommended for a tighter fit. It's also advisable to use a clutch - style rear derailleur. Made from durable 7075 - T6 aluminum, it promises a long service life.
Using this chainring is easy. First, make sure your Shimano GRX crankset is a 4 - bolt 110 Asymmetric BCD type. Install the chainring onto the crankset as per the standard procedure. When choosing a chain, remember it's compatible with 10, 11, and 12 - speed chains, but not Shimano 12 - speed ones. If you have a 9 - speed drivetrain, use a 10 - speed chain for better performance. It's a good idea to use a clutch - style rear derailleur to keep the chain in place. As for maintenance, regularly clean the chainring to remove mud and dirt. You can use a mild cleaner and a soft brush. Check the teeth for wear periodically. If you notice significant wear, it might be time to replace the chainring. This aluminum chainring is tough, but gentle handling will ensure it lasts a long time.
