Product Description
This high - quality chainring is specifically designed to fit Shimano 4 - arm 96 Asymmetric BCD XT M8000, SLX M7000, or Deore M6000 1x or 2x cranksets. It features Wolf Tooth's innovative Drop - Stop tooth design, which offers excellent mud clearance, superior chain retention, and long - lasting durability. Ideal for 1x9, 1x10, 1x11, and 1x12 drivetrains, it's compatible with all 10 -, 11 -, and 12 - speed chains (except Shimano 12 - speed chains, which need Wolf Tooth's specific chainrings). For 9 - speed drivetrains, using a 10 - speed chain ensures a tighter fit and better chain retention. Crafted from 7075 Aluminum, it promises a long service life.

Using this chainring is straightforward. First, make sure your bike has a Shimano 4 - arm 96 Asymmetric BCD XT M8000, SLX M7000, or Deore M6000 1x or 2x crankset. If you have a 9 - speed drivetrain, use a 10 - speed chain for better performance. Remember, Shimano 12 - speed chains won't work with this chainring; you'll need Wolf Tooth's specific ones. When riding in muddy conditions, the Drop - Stop design will help keep the chain on and clear the mud. To maintain it, regularly clean the chainring with a mild bike cleaner and a soft brush. Check for any signs of wear and tear, especially on the teeth. If you notice excessive wear, it might be time to replace the chainring. This will keep your bike running smoothly and ensure a great riding experience.
