Wolf Tooth Gnarwolf Chainguide - Braze-On Mount

Why Is the GnarWolf the Best Chainguide for 1x Setups?

The Wolf Tooth GnarWolf Chainguide Braze-On Mount is the chain retention solution purpose-built for 1x drivetrains where dropping a chain is not an option. Designed specifically around wide/narrow chainring tooth profiles, the GnarWolf keeps your chain seated through the roughest, muddiest, most chain-flinging conditions that MTB can throw at it. The braze-on mount provides a direct, rattle-free connection to frames with a braze-on front derailleur tab, which is the cleanest and most rigid mounting option available for this style of guide.

The guide uses a UHMW plastic lower guide paired with a tough outer plate to protect the chainring while keeping weight minimal. It works with single chainrings from 28t to 38t and is compatible with both 64mm and 76mm BCD chainrings, giving it broad applicability across trail, enduro, and cross-country MTB builds. A go-to upgrade for any rider who has lost a chain mid-descent and is done dealing with the aftermath on technical terrain.
