Wolf-tooth M8000 Shimano 12s 96 BCD Chainring

Looking for a 1X chainring for your new Shimano XT, SLX or Deore crankset with the proven chain retention of our Drop-Stop® chainrings? Wolf Tooth has what you need in the form of a beautifully machined asymmetrical 96 mm BCD that provides the ideal 1X chainline of 49mm.

Compatibility:
– These rings fit on the Shimano XT M8000, SLX M7000, Deore M6000, or FC MT5100 1x or 2x cranksets
– Not compatible with Deore triple (3x) cranksets
– If using a 9-speed drivetrain use a 10-speed chain (shifts and works well on a 9-speed drivetrain and fits the ring tighter for better chain retention).
– Provide a great chainline on most Boost bikes. See this explanation for details.
– Drop-Stop A models will reduce the chainline (inward towards the frame) from the Shimano specified chainline for the crankset.
– Drop-Stop ST models will have the same chainline as the Shimano specified chainline
– 10mm bolts are optimized for mounting this ring
– Available in two different tooth profiles for optimal performance based on your chain type. Use Drop-Stop ST for use with Shimano 12-speed Hyperglide+ chains. Use Drop-Stop A for all 9, 10, and 11spd chains or 12spd SRAM Eagle, KMC, Connex or Wippermann chains.

– If you plan to ride in very muddy conditions, we recommend a chainguide or chainkeeper in addition to a clutch-type rear derailleur. Without these precautions, you may experience chaindrops and/or chainsuck.
