t_hond Posted November 7, 2016 Share You just pedal. Let your legs do the work. "Spinning in circles" is largely a myth in MTBThanks, sounds good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheelsuck Posted November 7, 2016 Share I am just happy to have found someone who sells Q rings in SA. I ride Q rings on my Tri Bike and will never go back. Bike shops battle a bit with the install and I sometimes drop my chain. After a couple of tweaks it stops. AryM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
100Tours Posted November 7, 2016 Share My experience - all on AB chainrings 1. Delivery has been pretty quick - 2 to 3 days at most2. I'm using 2x10 oval rings on one bike and 1x10 oval on the other. The 2x10's have a chain pickup and a regular tooth profile. The 1x10 is a wide/narrow profile and no pickups - make sure you order the right model.3. The feel is much better - easier climbing, stronger acceleration. Setting a lot of pbs at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serious Panda Posted November 7, 2016 Share I use AB and Rapide ovals. I can feel that the AB is slightly more oval, and I prefer this, but it does not justify the almost double price tag. I will replace the AB with a Rapide oval when its worn out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boerklong Posted November 7, 2016 Share Thanks. Will try 34 oval instead of round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAAHIRWP Posted November 8, 2016 Share Has anyone tried the csixx oval? Why does it say "TT" I'm currently on a 1 X 10 setup with 32T front and 11-40T rear. What size oval would I go to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudi-h Posted November 9, 2016 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. huh... it also has a fixed number of teeth which determines your cadence. 34t oval = 34t round Long Wheel Base 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbo_SA Posted November 9, 2016 Share huh... it also has a fixed number of teeth which determines your cadence. 34t oval = 34t round Yes and no, its not only about the number of teeth, at the top of the arc you're pulling the chain in a straighter line and marginally further than a round 34. Whether you can actually tell the difference, or if its any better, who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monark Posted November 9, 2016 Share Well I fell for the coolaid and rode with the AB 32 this morning for the first time. My pedal stroke is pretty good as I have spent a lot of time working on it. I actually felt that the oval ring was interfering with it. I will give it some time and see how it goes. No miracles or huge performance gains to be seen. Only rode for 90 mins with 550m of climbing so I wont judge it just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
