- Direct-Mount Drop-Stop Chainrings
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).
