Whoa…it’s been seven years since the Wolf Tooth Components GnarWolf chain guides debuted, so it was about time for an update…or was it?
The original introduced a shim-free chainline adjustment, using a simple ovalized locking collet that let you fine-tune the guide’s position over your chain. It accommodates chain lines from 45-51mm.
And the ISCG-05 version used a simple one-bolt height adjustment to fit chainrings from 28 to 34 teeth.
The new GnarWolf V2 does all those things, but simplifies the design of the guide (and adds a couple of holes to give mud and crud more exit points) and adds four color options – yellow, orange, blue, and purple. Or stick with classic black.
They’ve also dropped the price by $15, now just $49.95 for the ISCG-05 model in all black. Additional/color guides are $4.95.
The braze-on mount has the same color choices and is also $49.95. It mounts to any standard front-derailleur braze-on mount and has three bolt holes to fit chainrings from 28 to 34 teeth, too.
