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

Wolftooth - better quality and more of a solid feel...

 

Will check on stock levels tom morning and let you know.

Thanks

Sorry, one last question. The Wolftooth says it uses M8 chainring bolts. Can I just use my standard XT bolts in the already threaded chainring?

Is anybody running a oval chainring with a power meter? I have a SRM which runs if the crank. I am guessing that you could fit oval chai rings?

I ordered my chainring from ABs website, only to find a few weeks later that Evobikes has stocked the wolftooth... my delivery took AGES and only two days after I recieved my chainring, again evobikes stocked my exact one... but such is life! I personally think its great that Evobikes is stocking these rings. I'd definitely recommend them!

Is it quite a big difference when you compare the 10% ovality of the Wolftooth with the 11% ovality of the AB?

 Yes we stock Absolute Black and Wolftooth. From Wolf we get an order about every 14 days. So if not in stock just drop us a mail so we can order extra in.

 

But glad you got sorted!

just asking...can you use these in a 2 x10 setup ??

Unfortunately no, as these rings have a narrow wide tooth profile designed to have excellent chain retention. In other words, the chain does not like to climb off the chainring which is ideal for 1x drivetrains.

 

However Rotor does make 2x10 oval chainrings but I cannot vouch for them as I don't know of anyone who uses them. But their pricetag can make many people blind by just looking at it...

 AB and Wolftooth is in stock!

Good morning Naas,

 

I'm struggling to add either of these items to my cart. They both come up with an error.

 

The requested quantity for "AbsoluteBlack Oval 104BCD Chainring" is not available.

The requested quantity for "Wolftooth Elliptical 104 BCD Chainring - 34T" is not available.

 

I'll try again a bit later.
