Hardi Posted June 22, 2015 Share If you give Oval rings a change, and adapt to them, you won't go back to round. round feels like more effort. 34T Qring pedals really effortlessly. It works for me Slanghoek Louis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVOBIKES ONLINE STORE Posted June 22, 2015 Share Thx i am running a 32 and sometimes a 34 round ring for flat races,what is the beste option a 32 or 34 ovelring? 34T Oval. Depending on how oval it is will give you an equivalent of +/- 32T up a climb and +/- a 36T on flat sections. Slanghoek Louis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxTBehrens Posted June 22, 2015 Share I am using a absolute black 34t oval chainring. Definitely worth it! I have much more traction and pedaling is just much less effort and climbs are easier. Oval is like more power with less effort! http://www.evobikes.co.za/absoluteblack-sram-oval-gxp-chainring.htmlhttp://www.evobikes.co.za/absoluteblack-oval-104bcd-chainring.html It has a ovality of 11% which isnt so much, but makes a Massive difference! http://absoluteblack.cc/ Goblin and Slanghoek Louis 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As your power delivery to the wheels are even out ("smoother"). You will definitely notice it on the slippery steep stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christo Posted June 22, 2015 Share Hi Max jip i want to buy the one on evobikes then i will go for the 34T ovelring thx for all the advice!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVOBIKES ONLINE STORE Posted June 22, 2015 Share How does an oval ring affect chain life? Never seen a difference between that and normal rings regarding chain life. Wear on rings are different however. The Oval ring wears more on 2 "dual sides" than all over. Basically just before the dead spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonky Posted June 22, 2015 Share 34T Oval. Depending on how oval it is will give you an equivalent of +/- 32T up a climb and +/- a 36T on flat sections.1 x 10/11 only, I assume? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted June 22, 2015 Share I ran 32T a Leo Daisy round, 1x10 and now run an Absolut black 32T NW Oval.It has transformed my riding! As mentioned traction is improved, but in my case it decreased lactic acid buildup which helped relieve my chronic. issue of cramping.

Lance Roberts Posted June 22, 2015 Share 34T Oval. Depending on how oval it is will give you an equivalent of +/- 32T up a climb and +/- a 36T on flat sections.Hi Naas, Which brand would you recommend, the Absolute Black or Wolftooth? I'm looking at 34t but you don't have stock online in the AB. The Wolftooth says there is stock but I can't seem to chose it... Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVOBIKES ONLINE STORE Posted June 22, 2015 Share Feels pretty strange at first.......Yip it does! Even worse when you use a very oval ring like O-Symmetric! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
