Wolf Tooth’s Encase pump made it onto John’s Favorite Stuff of 2024 list, and with good reason. These compact pumps, in 40 cc or 85 cc, can be thrown in your pack or bag and brought on every ride. Now, along with the standard included pump mount that can fit under a bottle cage, Wolf Tooth has an Inline mount that bolts directly to extra bottle or cargo bosses on your bike. They’re $14.95 and in stock now at Wolf Tooth.
Also, Wolf Tooth offers laser-etching on both its pump models now, too!
Wolf Tooth Components and Otso Cycles have been making innovative bicycles and parts for over a decade. Starting in 2013 with aftermarket chainrings and cogs for nascent 1x drivetrains, their offerings have grown considerably to include an expanded catalog of machined aluminum parts, complex tools, dropper posts, and a full-blown sibling bike brand, Otso Cycles. Josh spent a day at Wolf Tooth‘s Minneapolis HQ earlier this year and reports on what he learned about the brand’s history and where they’re headed…
Cargo cages are ubiquitous in bike campers’ kits. They allow for the easy carry of extra water in Nalgene bottles or allow for an additional lashing point for cargo bags. Wolf Tooth’s Morse Cargo Cage just got a splash of color, now being offered in espresso, gold, and olive, along with silver and black…
If you like riding at a spinny cadence, you probably rely on 28t chainrings for 1x drivetrains. Until today, one of the leading component manufacturers had yet to make that ring size in SRAM and Shimano direct mount. Wolf Tooth just announced its new 28t rings for SRAM T-Type and Shimano direct mount.
Note: these rings will not work with SRAM’s T-Type bash guard.

Wolf Tooth Premium Internal EC44 Headsets were developed for frames using the ENVE IN-Route System of cable integration with a 44mm head tube. It was made for cyclists who want a clean, aero cockpit that keeps cables and brake lines out of sight. Wolf Tooth headsets are machined with aircraft-grade 6061 aluminum at Wolf Tooth in Minnesota, USA.
These headsets are fully internal, triple-sealed from the elements, and come in a variety of colors.

Welcome to the first installment of Wish List, where Radavist contributors share their dreams of things that don’t exist, but maybe should. Some will be slightly niche but perfectly reasonable ideas that have every right to exist. Others will be impractical, expensive, and/or dangerous fantasies that probably should remain fantasies. Travis dives in first with a list that spans this spectrum quite nicely.
Wolf Tooth’s new pedals, the Ripsaw ($199.95), got two new hues this morning: orange and espresso. These made in the USA pedals feature a slim, lightweight design with a slight convex profile. The large, asymmetric machined aluminum platform provides strong foot support for all-mountain riding, while the thin convex profile is just 7mm thick at the leading edge. Inside the pedal are three fully sealed cartridge bearings, a stainless steel axle, an igus bushing, and a custom radial seal to protect internal components against trail debris.

We got our hands on the latest from Wolf Tooth: its all-new EnCase Hand Pumps (40 cc $64.95, 85 cc $69.95), announced today. A few of our team members have had these in our packs and strapped to our frames for a month or so and pulled together a review. Read on for John’s take on these nifty pumps…
Last week when Josh published his Otso Hoot Ti hardtail review, he fielded a lot of questions about the accessories used to add extra bottle cage and accessory mounts to the bike’s frame. As a companion to the bike review, Josh takes a closer look at Wolf Tooth’s clever B-Rad System below.
Launching today, the Hoot Ti from Otso Cycles is the brand’s first foray into designing a truly modern and progressive hardtail mountain bike. Built around 140 mm of front suspension with short 425mm chainstays across all sizes, the Hoot is meant for demanding trail riding yet is playful enough for riders who like to get airborne. It’s an evolution of where the brand, which has been innovating since day one, is going while also showcasing its ability to deploy new technologies to solve challenging design problems.
Josh has put considerable mileage on the new Hoot over the past few weeks, both in his usual testing grounds of southern Arizona and a big week in the steep mountains of northern New Mexico. Continue reading below for Josh’s review of the Hoot and a peek inside Otso’s Minneapolis, MN-based operations.
Is your bike getting old? Are you having trouble keeping up with yearly geometry inflation? Has your bike’s lack of low and slack geometry got you down? Well, if so, Wolf Tooth’s engineers have just the product you need: a 2º GeoShift Performance Angleset Headset.
Spencer decided to install a GeoShift Angleset in his 2021 Ibis Ripley AF, hoping to catapult it into the future. Will his tinkering in this review portent the arrival of an updated Ripley AF? Or is he barking up the wrong tree? Read on to find out…
Earlier this year, Wolf Tooth announced aero chainrings for Shimano cranks and this week, the brand released its chainrings for use with SRAM gravel and road cranksets. Just like the Shimano rings, these SRAM rings were designed with performance in mind and feature a clean, integrated look that matches the profile of the crankarm or spider. New sizes include 46, 48, 50, and 52T depending on mount. They are compatible with most 12-speed chains and optimized for SRAM Eagle and Flattop chains, including Transmission. All Wolf Tooth chainrings are machined with 7075-T6 aluminum at Wolf Tooth in Minnesota, USA.

1x drivetrains don’t require a chain guard but on some bikes and in some terrain, the extra assurance is nice. For those wanting to ride with a chain guard on their gravel or mountain bike in rough terrain, there are a number of options out there, including Wolf Tooth’s GnarWolf Chainguide which just received some updates since its first launch in 2016. Let’s check out the features of the GnarWolf Chainguide rev 2 below.
