Key Features
ul>
  • Patented Drop-Stop® wide-narrow tooth profile for minimised dropped chains
  • Perfect for 1x setups
  • Machined in-house at Wolf Tooth’s HQ in Minnesota, USA
  • Beautiful, anodised finish
  • Compatibility:

    • These rings fit any 104 BCD crankset
    • Wolf Tooth’s patented Drop-Stop®wide/narrow tooth profile for ultimate chain retention and mud shedding ability
    • For 1x9, 1x10, 1x11 and 1x12 drivetrains (including SRAM Eagle and SRAM Eagle Transmission):
      • Compatible with all 9, 10 and 11 speed chains, as well as 12-speed from KMC, Connex, Wipperman, Campagnolo, SRAM Eagle and SRAM Road and Transmission (T-Type) Flattop chains
      • If using a 9-speed drivetrain, use a 10-speed chain (shifts and works well on a 9-speed drivetrain and fits the ring more tightly for better chain retention)
      • Quarq power meter compatible with sizes 34t and 36t. Filing required for 32t fitment onto some older Quarq power meters. No modifications are required for the DUB Quarq power meter
    • Chainline (approximate as BB centring and cranksets vary) – 48mm on 3x cranksets and 49mm on 2x
    • Threaded to use M8 chainring bolts (no nuts required)
    • Ellipticality of 10% and timing of 112° after TDC (top dead centre)
    • Maximum diameter is that of a chainring 2t bigger than the size you order (so be sure there is adequate chainstay clearance)

    The Wolf Tooth Elliptical 104 BCD Chainring is not only beautifully machined and lightweight but utilises a patented wide-narrow design that is perfectly suited to 1x setups – dropped chains are a thing of the past. Unlock your dream drivetrain configuration and satisfy your inner tweaker.

    Bred from ice-cold Minneapolis winters and explicitly designed to work perfectly on anything from an MTB to a road bike, the Wolf Tooth 104 BCD Chainring means more time spent riding and less fumbling with dropped chains.

    In line with Wolf Tooth’s guiding ethos of providing unrivalled design innovation, reliability and durability, this chainring employs a patented Drop-Stop® wide-narrow tooth profile, which not only keeps the chain securely in place on single chainring setups but dislodges mud, dirt and excess precipitation more efficiently.

    Synonymous with ultra-high-end custom builds and stalwart steeds alike, Wolf Tooth chainrings are machined entirely in-house at Wolf Tooth’s HQ in Minnesota, USA. The anodised finish and machined lettering that adorn every chainring are hallmarks of master craftsmanship.

    PowerTrac

    Wolf Tooth’s PowerTrac design, as the name indicates, is driven by a concern for power and traction – and crucially for you, premised on a wealth of knowledge from precision engineers who also love to ride bikes.

    A growing number of riders are converting to elliptical chainrings on 1x setups, for the simple reason that they have been demonstrated to improve ride quality.

    The idea behind elliptical chainrings can be summarised as follows: biomechanical power output varies throughout a pedal stroke. Positions where power is higher have a larger diameter section of chainring, and thus a greater engagement area, which translates into greater forward propulsion. At positions where biomechanical power is lower, a smaller chainring diameter means greater efficiency in rotation. Overall, what this means for you is maximised power output throughout each pedal stroke.

    Wolf Tooth notes that elliptical rings also mean steadier torque on the rear wheel, as there is less spinning on the downstroke and easier rotation as a result. Steadier torque on the rear wheel gives better traction and sustained momentum – great on tough climbs and when riding on loose terrain.

    If you’re a discerning cyclist, looking to invest in a premium grade chainring that will outlast its competitors and function perfectly on a 1x setup, this is the only way to go.
