Seeing that many droppers have finicky actuation that’s much too difficult to initiate, the savvy riders at Wolftooth Components designed the Light Action ReMote for lighter, smoother throws of the dropper lever. This light and smooth actuation is possible thanks to a longer lever arm, which creates more leverage for less force required before your dropper starts to lower and raise in height. It’s compatible with all cable-actuated dropper posts on the market, allowing you to scrap the stock remote for this beautiful lever. Wolf Tooth recommends measuring the distance from the pivot center to the end of your current dropper lever before settling on this remote. If this distance is greater than 52-millimeters, the Light Action is best, where shorter distances between pivot center and lever end are suited for Wolf Tooth’s Standard Remote. It’s available in a myriad of clamp mounting options for keeping your cockpit tidy. UpFront cable fixing makes for quick and easy installation, due to the dropper cable being attached at the lever. Another benefit, it has a solid-mounted barrel adjuster for making on-the-fly adjustments.

Wolf Tooth Components is on a mission to free us from finicky dropper levers with it ReMote lever for cable-actuated dropper posts. The ReMote uses a mammoth 21mm sealed bearing to facilitate silky smooth motion, which in turn gives riders exceptional control over modulation and general dropper function. The low profile lever sits close to the bar, making it easier to reach than many other systems and in turn reduces the amount of time your thumb is away from the handlebar grip. This means more control and confident handling, but if you do happen to crash, a breakaway axle pivot at the base of the lever is designed protect the body of the ReMote so all you’ll need to replace is the small axle when things go south.

Do you like choices? The Wolf Tooth Components Standard 104 BCD Chainring gives you lots of them. You can run the WTC 104 as a single ring without any kind of chain keeper. You can also run it in a double ring setup, or even a triple if you???re feeling old school. The WTC 104 also gives you sizing options. It comes in even-numbered teeth from 30 all the way up to 38. There are even four color choices ??? black, red, blue, and gold ??? so you can match it to your current setup or set it apart to emphasize the bling.

Looking for a clean, light weight, and stiff 1X chainring with the proven chain retention of our Drop-Stop® profile and output-optimizing elliptical shape? Wolf Tooth has what you need in the form of these beautifully-machined direct-mount chainrings.

The shape of these chainrings provides an efficiency benefit and smoother power output. With this, you will experience the benefits of better traction, especially with technical climbing, and faster acceleration. Wolf Tooth’s proprietary design has ovality of 10% and timing of 112° after TDC (top dead center). These values provide the benefits of an oval ring without the drawbacks of excessive ovality or more aggressive timing.

The simplest way to explain how they “feel” is that where your pedal stroke is weakest it feels like you have a 2 teeth less on the chainring and where you have the most power it feels like you have 2 more teeth. They feel this way because with the radius of the chainring constantly changing, the torque needed to turn the cranks is constantly changing to better match your power output. For example, a 34t chainring feels like a 32t in the weak part of your pedal stroke and a 36t in the part of the stroke where your legs have the most power.

Choose from models for RaceFace Cinch, SRAM GXP, and SRAM BB30 cranksets (if unsure, visit Wolf Tooth for compatibility information).

You’ve approached the climb at Gates of Hell dozens of times. You’ve studied every possible line. You’ve eaten raw eggs. You’ve played the themes from several action hero movies during your attack. Nothing works — the climb shuts you down every time and you wind up pushing to the top with your virtual tail between your very real, very worn-out legs. Forget about testosterone shots — maybe the answer is just an adjustment to your drivetrain. Meet the Wolf Tooth Components Giant Cog For Shimano. So, how giant is GIANT? 40 or 42. That’s not a typo — 40 or 42 (your choice) teeth on your cassette. You could climb a tree with this thing. These days, most drivetrains have gone to a single or double up front and a larger cassette. This seems to be a winning combination for most folks, but there are those whose local terrain needs a bit more torque to conquer. Bear in mind — the Wolf Tooth Giant Cog For Shimano only works with Shimano 10spd XT or XTR cassettes. The shift points are properly timed to the tooth locations on the 36T Shimano cogs. Also, use of this cog requires the removal of the 15T or 17T cog and spacer from your cassette. You will probably also need a longer chain.

Remember “granny gear”? Like the fanny pack, it was useful, although the nickname had its negative implications. Also like fanny packs, granny gears are still available, although the plummeting demand dictates that their days are probably numbered. This poses a problem for mountain bikers whose nearby favorites fall into the category of “barely climbable.” If you’ve ever wondered: What’s the absolute maximum number of teeth that my rear cassette can hold, shift into, and slow-pedal up that nasty 45-degree climb a mile from my front porch,” the Wolf Tooth Components Giant Cog For SRAM has the answer. 40 or 42. That’s not a typo — 40 or 42 (your choice) friggin’ teeth. You could climb a tree with this thing. Bear in mind — the Wolf Tooth Giant Cog For SRAM only works with PG 1030, 1050, and 1070 11-36 and 12-36 cassettes or X0 11-36t (XG-1080) cassettes. Also, use of this cog requires the removal of the 15t or 17t cog and spacer from your cassette. You will probably also need a longer chain.
