Wolf Tooth 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. 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.

Compatibility

  • Aero chainrings available in 46-52T. Sizes 34-44T are non-aero.
  • 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.

Details

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 navigate_next

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 navigate_next

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.

*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.
