The new GnarWolf Chainguide was designed to work with both oval and round chainrings, keeping your chain secure even as the elliptical chainring radius oscillates up and down while pedaling. Even with chainrings that have the narrow wide teeth profile that offers excellent chain retention, sometimes things can go wrong, and a chain can come off. Whether it’s due to riding on the rough and bumpy trails or when a chain gets jammed up with debris, a chain guide provides extra security to keep the things in place. Their compact chain guide has an innovative design that requires no shims for chainline adjustment and works with 48 mm to 54 mm chainlines and standard and Boost bikes. The designed and made in the US guide is CNC machined from 7075-T6 aluminum and uses stainless steel hardware and all adjustments can be made with a 4mm hex key.
Press Release
Savage, Minnesota USA — Wolf Tooth Components, LLC has introduced a revolutionary new compact chain guide, the GnarWolf™. Available now for ISCG-05, and coming soon in high direct mount and S3/E-type mount.
According to Wolf Tooth founder Mike Pfeiffer: “We have been discussing a compact chain guide product for a couple of years but we did not want to introduce another me-too product. We did a lot of development and testing and we are now ready to deliver something revolutionary in both ease of use and performance”.
While a chain guide is not needed for most XC and trail riding with a Wolf Tooth wide/narrow chainring, gravity riders, and competitors who cannot afford any risk of a chain drop or ride often in muddy conditions are often adding a compact guide for increased chain security.
GnarWolf Features
