Thanks for the replies. I'd assumed that the increased chain wrap would help. I have a few MTB customers on narrow/wide setups, but they're all using clutch ders<br />
For me personally, this will be the first time I've used a derailleur on a CX bike in about 12 years...<br />

<p>We are testing with both Clutch and no-clutch.

<p>Pretty excited for these! Quick question- have you guys tested these 1x with a road der, or just a clutch -type mtb der?</p>

<p>The CX rings are now up for presale and will be shipping next week. Sizes 40-42 in 110 and 130 BCD. The 38t and 44t will be shipping the week after next and will go on sale next week sometime.</p>

<p>Hey Chad,</p>
<p>The cost will be ~$80. They should be up on our webstore this weekend: <a href="http://www.wolftoothcycling.com/" target="_blank">http://www.wolftoothcycling.com/</a></p>
<p></p>
<p>These rings are definitely high quality and very stiff so they will work on a SS.</p>
<p>That said, the main goal of our wide/narrow teeth chainrings is that they should allow riders to run 1x10 or 1x11 without all a chain guide. This has been quit popular for mtbks this year as it saves weight…</p>

<p>Yes, testing is ongoing to confirm our initial results that the system works.</p>

<p>We expect pre-sale to start next week. We will start shipping the week after that.</p>
