Description

Stop The Drop

If you are a 1x MTB, CX, gravel, or road rider and can't afford to drop a chain, Wolf Tooth GnarWolf® chainguides are for you. Designed specifically around 1x wide/narrow chainrings the GnarWolf will keep your chain glued to your chainring in the roughest and muddiest of conditions. No other chainguide is as rigid or as easy to adjust as the GnarWolf.

Features:

  • 8mm of chainline adjustment via the GuideLock quick adjustment system. No shims required.
  • Loosen one screw to flip the guide out of the way for easy chain removal without losing any of the guide's adjustments
  • All adjustments made with common 4 mm hex key
  • Available in Braze-on, High Direct, or ISCG 05 Mount
  • 6061-T6 with stainless steel hardware
  • Made in the USA
  • Braze-on

  • Designed for CX, Gravel, and Road
  • Optimized for use with both oval and round 34t-46t chainrings
  • Designed to fit on any bike with an integral braze-on mount. If you have a round seat tube with no braze-on mount, you can buy a braze-on adapter
  • Designed to accommodate chainlines from approx. 45mm to 51mm
  • Minimum distance of 10 mm between crank and center of ring
  • Note: Braze-on mount is not at the same height on all bikes so max chainring size will vary somewhat depending on frame brand and model
  • Not compatible with crankset mounted bashrings
  • 44g
  • High Direct

  • Designed for Enduro, heavy trail, mud, and DH riding
  • Minimum distance of 10 mm between crank and center of chainring
  • Chainline adjustment between 48mm to 54mm
  • For round chainrings 28t-36t or oval chainrings 28-36t
  • Designed to fit on any bike with high direct mount
  • Not compatible with crankset mounted bashrings
  • 48g
  • ISCG 05

  • Designed for Enduro, heavy trail, mud, and DH riding
  • Designed to fit on any bike with an ISCG 05 Mount
  • Optimized for use with round chainrings 28t-36t or oval chainrings 28t-34t
  • Minimum distance of 10 mm between crank and center of ring
  • Not compatible with crankset mounted bashrings
  • Due to frame and bike geometry there will be some bikes that need modifications or flat out won't work, such as Ibis Mojo 3, Ripmo, and Ripley, Evil The Following, and Santa Cruz Tallboy. Specialized Stumpjumper 2016-2017 models require 1 mm of spacers between the frames ISCG05 mounts and the guide (the guide interferes with the frame otherwise).

Should have bought one last season!

Works great! Dropped a chain at the beginning of a great start at Corn Cross and decided I didn't want that to be a thing anymore. Only thing I didn't realize was that I needed to buy the front mech hanger to attach it to, and install on my Crux which was another solid chunk of change. Still totally worth it--I'm sure it saved me at a few of the very bumpy courses this year. Very easy to install and adjust.

Chain stays on, even with an oval chainring

A little over 10 years ago I was still riding a double chainring CX bike. Up until the last lap, I was able to ride everything in the big ring but my legs were screaming and I clicked down to get some relief. Nothing happened. My front derailleur was full of mud and grass and the chain stayed on the big ring as I suffered up the hill. It was in that moment that I decided to ditch the front derailleur and begin a new struggle � the struggle to keep the chain on the ring.

While the narrow-wide and clutch/tension systems work well most of the time � they failed me at the worst possible times: attacking off the front or desperately trying to stay attached. I�ve tried many of the options; some couldn�t handle the full range of the cassette, some were heavy and clunky, and some just didn�t keep the chain on.

The GnarWolf has, so far, kept my chain on and allows the full range of my 11-32 cassette.
