Drop-Stop ST Direct Mount Chainrings for SRAM Cranks
Wolf Tooth Direct Mount Chainrings for SRAM Cranks are now available in our Drop-Stop ST tooth profile! This tooth profile is optimized for the 12-speed Shimano Hyperglide+ chain: a first for our Direct Mount SRAM chainrings. Drop-Stop ST leverages the Shimano HG+ chamfers to provide additional clearance, prevent wear while riding, and also to ensure chain retention on varied surfaces. Compatible with cranks from SRAM, Praxis, Cane Creek, and other cranks that use a three-bolt direct mount, this chainring is available in both round and PowerTrac elliptical in 30T, 32T, and 34T with Boost offset.
Thank you for supporting Wolf Tooth in 2020! It has been a very unusual but busy year with lots of innovative new products to enhance your riding experience. We pulled together a list of everything we released in 2020 just in case you missed any of the new products that we shared this year. Keep your eyes open for more new products in January.
We asked a few of our athletes and ambassadors what products they are stoked on these days, so we could share it with you!
They have used our products for ultra-endurance racing, bikepacking, shredding downhill, riding gravel and singletrack, and have really put everything to the test, so we listen to what they have to say.
