During 2013 NAHBS coverage I ran across a new American made chainring company I hadn’t heard of yet, called Wolf Tooth Components. They are out of Minneapolis, Minnesota making chainrings specifically for 1×10 and 1×11 drivetrains.
The chainrings are machined in Minneapolis out of 7075-T651 billet aluminum. The chainrings feature an alternating dual tooth profile that is said to help prevent dropping your chain. They are designed to work with no chain guide using a clutch type derailleur from either Shimano or SRAM.
Wolf Tooth has several products in development and testing. Chainrings compatible with SRAM XX1 and X9 Type 2 are in testing now. Final products should be available in March or April.
104 BCD standard mount
- 30-38 Teeth (yes, we will offer a 30 tooth with 104 BCD)
- Mounts to any standard double/triple crankset
- Status: testing prototypes
Middleburn spline direct mount
- 24-36 teeth
- Optional snowflake pattern
- Status: testing prototypes (in Alaska & Colorado)
64 BCD offset mount
- 24-28 Teeth
- Offset design to maintain acceptable chainline with fewer than 30 teeth
- Ideal for fat bikes with 1×11 or 1×10 gearing
- Status: in development
SRAM GXP direct mount chainring
- 26-38 teeth
- Status: in development
Please make 110 BCD in 34T for Road Double cranks for a more narrow qfactor.
I’m an old geezer (75) who just converted a 21speed to a single speed + Nuvinci hub. Works great except for really steep hills. I’m using a 32 tooth front chainring but badly need a 30 tooth. The chain is SHRAM 7speed. Is there any way I can adapt your 30 tooth to work?
What crankset do you have. That would determine what you can run for a chainring.
