Wolf Tooth Oval Direct Mount Chainrings for SRAM 3-Bolt Gravel / Road Cranks

Wolf Tooth Oval Direct Mount Chainrings for SRAM 3-Bolt Gravel / Road Cranks Info

The Wolf Tooth Oval Direct Mount Chainrings for SRAM 3-Bolt Gravel / Road Cranks combine the efficiency benefits of an oval chainring with the precision, stiffness, and clean aesthetics of Wolf Tooth’s direct-mount design. Machined from a single block of 7075-T6 aluminum, these chainrings replace both the spider and chainring on SRAM 3-bolt crankarms—including DUB models—to deliver a lightweight, responsive interface built for modern gravel, road, and cyclocross riding.

This oval version helps smooth power delivery by reducing the dead spot in your pedal stroke, enhancing traction and climbing efficiency without feeling unnatural. Wolf Tooth’s patented Drop-Stop B tooth profile is optimized for SRAM Flattop chains and also works across 9–12 speed systems (except Shimano 12-speed). Alternating wide/narrow teeth improve chain retention, reduce wear, and shed mud effectively—ideal for riders who move seamlessly between mixed-weather and varied-surface conditions.

The 6 mm offset is designed specifically for road, gravel, and cyclocross chainlines, maintaining a consistent 47 mm chainline across compatible cranksets. Installation uses the same three bolts found on the stock setup, and Wolf Tooth recommends an L-wrench for best access around the spindle. For riders who prioritize longevity, the CAMO System offers additional stainless-steel options, and replacement bolts are available when needed.
