Wolf Tooth Components, renowned for their precision-engineered bicycle components, has expanded their bottom bracket lineup to offer cyclists an array of nine vibrant color options. This enhancement allows riders to personalize their bikes further, aligning with Wolf Tooth’s commitment to both performance and aesthetics.
Expanded Color Palette
Previously, Wolf Tooth’s BSA and T47 internal bottom brackets were available in four colors: Black, Raw Silver, Orange, and Ultraviolet Purple. Responding to customer demand for more customization, the company has introduced five additional colors: Red, Blue, Gold, Olive, and Espresso. This brings the total to nine color choices, enabling cyclists to match their bottom brackets with other components seamlessly. (bikemag.com)
Compatibility and Design
Wolf Tooth’s bottom brackets are engineered for compatibility with 24mm, 29mm, and 30mm spindle diameters, accommodating a wide range of cranksets. The BSA models feature adjustable-width shells, fitting 68mm to 73mm bottom bracket shells, with options for 83mm and 100mm shells available as add-ons. The T47 internal models are designed for 85.5mm to 92mm shells. (wolftoothcomponents.com)
Performance and Durability
Beyond aesthetics, Wolf Tooth emphasizes performance and durability in their bottom brackets. The custom-designed bearings and seals provide best-in-class weather sealing, protecting against water, mud, and debris. Custom polymer spindle bushings eliminate metal-on-metal contact, reducing creaks and enhancing bearing longevity. The bearings are made from custom AISI 52100 chrome bearing steel, hardened to Rc 61-66, and coated with ACOSUR ZNA for corrosion resistance. (gravelcyclist.com)
