Wolf Tooth Direct Mount Drop-Stop Chainring
Description
Chain retention technology:
Drop-Stop technology is Wolf Tooth’s patented wide/narrow chainring design. The wide side of the tooth has maximum contact on the drive side which spreads the load and improves chainring life. The narrow side allows clearance for mud and debris which reduces friction. Alternating wide/narrow tooth pattern prevents chain derailment.
The new Shimano 12-speed chain rings use a different technology than Drop-Stop as the Shimano 12 speed chains are not compatible with the standard Drop-Stop tooth profile. The HG+ chain interacts with the chainring differently than a traditional narrow/wide design so Wolf Tooth took the time to understand how the HG+ system worked before they produced their new Shimano 12-speed HG+ compatible chainrings.
Chainring Fitment: Cannondale Hollowgram - FSA Modular Direct Mount
Chain Compatibility:
- For 1x9, 1x10, 1x11 and 1x12 drivetrains (including SRAM Eagle).
- Compatible with all 10-, 11-, and 12-speed chains except Shimano 12-speed 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 tighter for better chain retention).
This direct mount chainring will replace your existing spider/chainring on Road and CX Cannondale Hollowgram SI & SISL cranks. These are NOT compatible with Cannondale mountain bike cranksets because the chainline will be too far off from optimal.
Chainline: 44mm only.
Weight: 38t - 100g, 40t - 110g, 42t - 117g
Chainring Fitment: Race Face - Easton Cinch Direct Mount
Chain Compatibility:
- 9, 10, 11, & 12spd Eagle - These chainrings are designed to work with all 9 speed, 10 speed, and 11 speed chains. They also work with 12 speed Eagle and 12 speed KMC chain.
- Shimano 12-speed chains require the use of Shimano 12-speed specific chainring.
- If using a 9-speed drivetrain use a 10-speed chain. It fits tighter for better chain retention.
Chainline: Both standard (142mm rear hub spacing) and Boost (148mm hub spacing) offsets available.
Weight: 26t - 48g, 28t - 54g, 30t - 58g, 32t - 63g, 34t - 69g, 36t - 75g

Weight: 30T - 64g, 32T - 71g, 34T - 80g
Chainring Fitment: SRAM Direct Mount
Chain Compatibility:
- 9, 10, 11, & 12spd Eagle - These chainrings are designed to work with all 9 speed, 10 speed, and 11 speed chains. They also work with 12 speed Eagle and 12 speed KMC chain. They do not work with Shimano 12 speed Hyperglide+ chain or SRAM 12 speed Flattop chains.
- 10, 11, & 12spd Eagle and Flattop - These chainrings are designed to work with all 10 speed, and 11 speed chains. They also work with 12 speed SRAM Flattop, SRAM Eagle and KMC chain. They do not work with Shimano 12 speed Hyperglide+ chains.
- Shimano 12-speed chains require the use of the Shimano 12-speed specific chainrings.
- If using a 9-speed drivetrain use a 10-speed chain. It fits tighter for better chain retention.
- These direct mount chainrings will replace your existing chainring and spider or replace the direct mount ring on SRAM cranksets including the DUB cranks. The ring is attached via 3 bolts on the back side of the spider near the spindle.
- Note that the SRAM 12spd Red and Force AXS use a different 8 bolt mounting interface that is not compatible with these chainrings.
- Standard: 47mm chainline, 6mm offset for cyclocross and road cranks
- Standard: 49mm chainline, 6mm offset for GXP and long spindle BB30
- Boost: 52mm chainline, 3mm offset
- BB30: 49mm chainline, 0mm offset for BB30 short spindle cranks
- Fat Bikes: If your fat bike has a 170/177 rear hub spacing, use the Standard 6mm offset
- If you have a BB30 crankset (30mm diameter Aluminum Spindle) the measurement in the spindle picture will determine whether it is a long or short spindle.
Chainring Fitment: Shimano Direct Mount
Chain Compatibility:
- Compatible with Shimano 12-speed Hyperglide+ chains
- Engineered proprietary tooth profile maintains the quiet and smooth performance of the HG+ drivetrain with legendary Wolf Tooth chain retention.
- Prevents premature ring and chain wear that can come from non-optimized profiles.
Weight: Not listed by Wolf Tooth.
Materials: Made from a high-grade 7075-T6 aluminium Wolf Tooth's Drop-Stop Chainrings are one of the best performing and longest lasting wide/narrow chainring options on the market.
Pros: They are lightweight, strong, available in most mounting standards and help prevent chain drop, what more could you want in a chain ring?
Cons: The don't come in fancy colours (although they look great).
Reviews
Ideal commuter range
by Emerson
Excellent quality, perfect fit.
The 38t chainring has really slotted neatly in to the commuter role on my Lynskey MTB, seamlessly blending in to the GX crankset. With the assurance of no chain drop, and maximising the chain stay clearance, it gives an excellent gear range combined with my 11sp XT derailleur and 11-42t cassette - perfect for staying with the quick riders down Royal Parade!
Awesome chainring!

Great quality and looks amazing.
Purchased one about a year ago for my enduro bike and loved it enough to buy a second one recently for my slopestyle bike as well.
Great upgrade!!
by Josh
If you haven't tried oval please do, have one on both my bikes.
Hard to explain but it feels more natural to pedal with, now I go to a conventional round ring and I feel like I am bobbing up and down on the bike if that makes sense (does to me)
Great improvement to my bike

Great improvement to my bike could not be happier with it.
Visually good looking. Have not had

Visually good looking. Have not had a drop yet with plenty of tough kms
I have converted the drivetrain
by Hans Dielacher -
I have converted the drivetrain on my 2013 Epic to 1x10 using a Wolf Tooth Drop-Stop direct mount GXP 30T ring and Wolf Tooth 42T and Wolf Tooth 16T gears on my 11/36 XTR cassette and the result is truly spectacular. My standard XO long cage d_railleur works without any problems and I haven't dropped the chain yet. The shifting quality is absolutely fantastic. I highly recommend Wolf Tooth components.
