Wolf Tooth SRAM Direct Mount Elliptical Chainring features

Quality

Quality is without doubt one of the most important factors that we consider when buying bikes, parts, accessories or clothing. As you’d imagine it’s especially important when buying Chainrings. Let’s take at a look at the sort of things you can look at when trying to ascertain the quality of Wolf Tooth SRAM Direct Mount Elliptical Chainring.

The first thing is material. Looking at what Wolf Tooth SRAM Direct Mount Elliptical Chainring is made of will give you a really good idea of the quality overall. Take a look at the specs above and you should be able to see the material. It’s then up to you to decide if it meets your expectation.

Similarly you’ll also want to spend some time looking at the features too. Again the table above, listing the features will give you a really good overview. However you should think about the sort of features that you’d expect when buying new Chainrings. It’s worth writing a list of the “must-have” features so that you don’t end up compromising and missing some important features, or alternatively end up buying an unnecessarily high specced product.

There’s also a lot of merit in checking out the brand of the product and looking at the various brands that are selling Chainrings. Brands like Wolf Tooth are of courses extremely well respected in the cycling community so you know you’re getting a fantastic product with them. But if you’re undecided on your product you should write up a list of brands that you’d be happy to buy. It’s a great way of filtering and narrowing down the number of products when you’re searching.

Next up you’ll want to think about the price and use that as a guide to set your expectations of the quality. If you’re buying the cheapest of the options in the Chainrings category you should probably expect it to not be of as good quality as the most expensive. It sounds obvious of course. But this is where you can get a bit clever and use your combination of features, specs, materials and other factors to work together to get a really good quality product at the best price. We often draw up a list of “must-haves” and use these as filters when shopping online so that you’re only seeing products that meet your criteria. You can then sort by Price>Low to get the best deals.

Further product details

• Product ID 1: 27198138645

• RRP: £76
• EAN: 812719025607
• Description: Wolf Tooth SRAM Direct Mount Elliptical ChainringThis chainring is precisely machined and uses a patented narrow-wide design that’s perfect for 1x setups. Designed to eliminate dropped chains, this model works great with SRAM cranks and its direct mount profile means more time riding and less time fumbling with dropped chains. Wolf Tooth has also equipped this version with its game-changing Drop-Stop technology, which keeps your chain securely in place and dislodges mud, dirt and excess water more efficiently. Powertrac EllipticalMore power? Check. Better traction? Definitely. Less shifting? Yup. Funky uneven pedal stroke? Not with Wolf Tooth’s PowerTrac Elliptical (PTE) chainrings. Wolf Tooth’s proprietary design means a slightly less ovalized ring (10%) with less aggressive timing (112¬∞) than competitors’ versions; any change to your pedal stroke is unnoticeable for most riders, but they still provide the POWER and TRACTION benefits inherent to oval chainrings. It’s like having two chainrings in one! With PowerTrac Elliptical rings, the larger-diameter section of the ring engages with the chain at the optimal point on the downstroke, or ‚ÄúPower Zone,‚Äù – between 1-5 and 7-11 on a clock face – to take advantage of your body’s natural biomechanical POWER: For example, during this section, a PTE 34t ring is equivalent to a 36t round ring. Similarly in the ‚ÄúRecovery Zone‚Äù (11-1 and 5-7), the smaller section on the PTE ring engages, maximizing EFFICIENCY in the weakest part of the pedal stroke; here the PTE 34t ring is equivalent to a 32t round ring.Additionally, the above provides a smoother, more efficient pedal rotation, which means better TRACTION. Steadier torque on the rear wheel means less spinning out in the ‚ÄúPower Zone,‚Äù while pedaling is easier during the ‚ÄúRecovery Zone,‚Äù so you maintain momentum.Compatibility:9, 10, 11, & 12 speed 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 chain.If using a 9 speed drivetrain use a 10 speed chain. It fits tighter for better chain retention.Features: Material: 7075-T6 Aluminium Mount: Direct mount Chainline: 52mm Boost Offset: 3mmMade in the USA Part Numbers: 28T: WTOVALSDM28BST; 30T: WTOVALSDM30BST; 32T: WTOVALSDM32BST Weight: 28T: 60g; 30T: 68g; 32T: 74gBuy Wolf Tooth Components from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World’s Largest Online Bike Store.
