Designed for gravel and road racing, and for those looking to optimize each detail in pursuit of speed, Wolf Tooth Aero Chainrings are strong, lightweight, and profiled to mate perfectly with your crankset for a clean, integrated look. Taking advantage of 1x drivetrain systems and wider-range rear cassettes, Aero Chainrings are available in sizes 46T to 52T to provide similar overall range to standard 2x drivetrain configurations. They feature our patented Drop-Stop® design for the best wear life, chain retention, and mud clearance. Drop-Stop B is optimized for SRAM Eagle and Flattop chains.
Aero Direct Mount Chainrings for SRAM 8-Bolt Cranks replace your existing spider and chainring with one clean looking, lightweight, and stiff piece of machined billet.
Compatibility
- These direct mount chainrings will replace your existing chainring and spider or replace the direct mount chainring for SRAM AXS cranksets and other cranks that use the 8-bolt mounting standard.
- SRAM Direct Mount DUB road cranksets use the 8-bolt mounting standard. Any of those cranksets with a removable spider also use the 8-bolt mount.
- Compatible with SRAM 12-speed and 13-speed groupsets including SRAM Red XPLR AXS.
- Wolf Tooth’s patented Drop-Stop® wide/narrow tooth profile for the ultimate chain retention and mud-shedding ability.
- Chainline is 45mm on standard spindle cranks and 47.5mm on wide spindle cranks for 46-52T chainrings.
- Chainrings are designed for 1x drivetrains. They are not compatible with 2x drivetrains.
Recommendations
- Recommend the use of a clutch-style rear derailleur for the best chain security
- For Installation, use the included custom T20 bolts. Torque to 4Nm with a T20 bit.

Details |
 Tooth shape is nearly identical to Drop-Stop A, but has narrower teeth. Valley between teeth is deeper to accommodate larger rollers on Flattop chain. Outside faces of narrow and wide teeth touch chain to guide alignment. Drop-Stop B Chainrings |
 The original Drop-Stop tooth profile. The wide teeth are wider than Drop-Stop B. Outside faces of narrow and wide teeth guide chain alignment. Drop-Stop A Chainrings |
 Narrower teeth than Drop-Stop A. Wide teeth use Symmetric Trapezoidal (ST) profile to match extended inner edge on chain to create alignment (outside faces of wide teeth do not touch). Interaction of narrow teeth and chain are similar to Drop-Stop A and B. Drop-Stop ST Chainrings |
*We are in the process of migrating most Drop-Stop A to Drop-Stop B to make them compatible with SRAM Road and Transmission (T-type) Flattop chains.
