Wolf Tooth Components

Precision Headsets

They have just released a brand new line of precision headsets which follow along with their typical high-quality, high-performance and highly engineering CNC artisanship. After two years internal development the trick headsets utilize the superb Enduro stainless steel cartridge bearings sealed with their top and bottom lip seals. They have lightweight top covers in 5mm, 15mm, and 25mm heights to accommodate almost any head tube and cockpit combination cleanly and they come in a bright array of eight colors to suit the riders taste (Black, Silver, Red, Blue, Green, Orange, Purple, and Gold).

The External Cup (EC) uppers come in EC34|28.6 with 5mm, 15mm, and 25mm top cover, while the lowers come in EC34|30, EC44|40, and EC49|40. The Zero Stack (ZS) uppers come in ZS44|28.6 with 5mm, 15mm, and 25mm top cover, while the lowers come in ZS56|40. They’ll have a full  Integrated (IS) version out shortly.

The headsets are CNC-machined and assembled by hand in their Minnesota facility from aerospace-grade aluminum and come with matching steerer-friendly 5mm top caps, lightweight aluminum preload screws, and a spring steel star nut.

  • Custom-molded upper lip seal provides additional protection for upper bearing.
  • Custom-molded dual lip crown race seal to protect lower bearing in the toughest conditions.
  • O-ring steerer tube seal to prevent water intrusion.
  • Enduro sealed stainless steel bearings top and bottom.
  • Headset top covers available in 5, 15, & 25 mm stack heights.
  • Available colors: black, silver, red, blue, green, orange, purple, & gold.
  • Top assemblies include signature Wolf Tooth 5mm stem cap, aluminum preload bolt, and star nut.
  • Designed and manufactured in Minneapolis, MN USA

B-RAD System

They have done some new additional milling work on their excellent B-RAD attachment system for decent weight savings, and it’s quite apparent when picking up each piece that they went on a diet.

The B-RAD system is comprised of a mounting base of various lengths, and you can then optionally add other parts such as a Double Bottle Adapter, the new Half Bottle Adapter and a Strap and Accessory Mount. I liked the Strap which allows you to attach a spare tube to your bike for emergencies. You can mix and match the optional parts to create all sorts of mounting and setup scenarios.

Otso

They had a beautiful custom painted Otso Voytek fat bike on display at the Wolf booth.

The Voytek is a carbon fiber hardtail mountain bike designed around the exclusive Otso Plus-Fat concept. It is a 27.5+ or 29+ trail bike that can also accommodate up to 26 x 4.6” tires on 70 mm rims. Also featuring our patent pending Tuning Chip rear dropout system, the chainstay length can be adjusted from a fun and nimble 430 mm to a fast and stable 450 mm.

The red and burgundy colors stood out stunningly in the sunshine, with a deep pearl essence. Gorgeous!

Master Link Combo Pliers

The new Master Link Combo Pliers is a 6 in 1 multi-tool that was developed to provide functions not found in common multi-tool designs. The MLCP is light and compact so you can carry it in your pocket or a pack. It functions as a tire lever, a valve core remover, a valve stem lock nut wrench and of course a set of master link pliers. As a bonus, it provides storage slots for two master links, so you’ll always be prepared on the trail. A simple magnet holds the master links securely in place and helps self-close the tool.
