CAMO Chainring System Information
The CAMO chainring system was created by the Wolf Tooth engineers for Chainline And Material Optimization on direct mount style crankset.
Key Rider Advantages:
-
Chainline - Chainline is very important for proper 1x drivetrain function. With CAMO we offer up to 4 different chainline options for one direct mount style (e.g SRAM Direct Mount)
-
Material - The material of the spiders is 7075 Aluminum because it is very light, stiff, and strong. That said, chainrings wear out...that is a simple fact. Smaller chainrings or chainrings ridden in harsh environments wear quicker and with CAMO we can offer 50% lighter weight Stainless Steel Chainrings (and maybe more exotic materials in the future).
-
Price - Chainrings eventually need to be replaced. Whether switching to a smaller ring for a hilly ride or just replacing a worn-out chainring, replacement rings with our best-in-class Drop-Stop® tooth profiling start at just $45. The entire system is only a few dollars more than the one piece but offers all these advantages.
-
Quick change rings - chainrings can be quickly swapped out with five T-25 M4 alloy bolts. There are no nuts or spacers and you do not have to remove your crankset.
-
Power transfer - power transfer and stiffness are as good or better than direct mount chainrings because of the optimization that having a spider+chainring allows.
-
Product coverage - Wolf Tooth can offer every last niche chainring need. Once built out, CAMO will cover roughly 200 chainring options. Many of these would have never made it to production as a traditional one piece direct mount.
-
Weight - No added bulk to our spiders. The CAMO system is within 5-10 grams of the one-piece direct mount (varies by SKU), and as mentioned the CAMO Stainless Ring+Spider is 50% lighter than our previous one-piece stainless steel rings.
Dealer Advantages:
-
Inventory - with CAMO, you have the opportunity to actually stock the part that your customer needs. With just 15 SKUs, 5 spiders, and 11 rings, you can cover 85% off the walk-in direct mount ring demand.
-
Wolf Tooth Quality - rest assured that you and your customers will receive the best quality, USA-made, products with top-notch customer and dealer service to match.
Installation Notes
-
You will be able to access all bolts without removing the spider.
-
Line up the dot on the ring with the dot on the spider. You will not be able to install the ring in the wrong rotational orientation.
-
Be sure the bosses on the spider "plug in" to the chainring.
-
Torque bolts to 3 NM.
