If you like hitting the gnarly stuff then it is worth investing in a bash ring. The Wolf Tooth Bash Ring can be added to a crankset to protect a 104, 64 or 96 BCD chainring. Made from a high-grade 7075-T6 aluminium in the USA.

Compatibility and Specs:

104 BCD:

• These are for use with 104 BCD chainrings or 64 BCD chainrings on 104 BCD cranksets
• These are compatible with all triple 104 BCD cranksets and mount in the “big ring” position
• They are compatible with double cranksets that have flat outfacing mounting tabs, like XTR M980. However, many 2x specific cranks, like Shimano XT M785, have a profiled outer surface on the mounting tab so our bashring cannot be mounted on that non-flat surface.
• These work great with the 104 BCD Elliptical 32t ring. They will work with the 34t as well, but at the max diameter a few teeth will extend just beyond the bashring.

• Chainring bolt requirements for this bashring
  • 104 x 30t - 10mm bolts are required for use with the bashring.
  • Other 104 BCD sizes - you will need 8mm bolts (stock size that comes on 3x cranksets holding the middle and big rings on). Wolf Tooth does not make these.
  • When using with the 64 BCD you will need 6mm bolts to mount the bashring. Note: Orient the head of the bolt to the inside to provide clearance for the chain (bolts will go in backwards).
• Weight: 26-30T -51g, 32-34T - 55g

96 BCD - Shimano Symmetrical Compact Triple:

• These rings fit any 96 symmetric BCD crankset
• Compatible crankset models: M782, M672, M622, M612
• Fits with the Drop Stop 30t, 32t & 34t Wolf Tooth chainrings.
• 10mm bolts are required for mounting this bashring with our chainring
• Weight: 55g
