oval chainring on a SS

[Henryfeather]

Hi guys

A quick question.

Currently on my Cotic I run a 32 up front and a 16 at the back I'm contemplating a 34 up front but am considering an oval chainring.

Have any of you attempted it and with what results.

Thnx

34x16 will be too heavy for most. Unless you're green and they call you Hulk. I bought a 32 oval the other day from Kiwi but have yet to test it. I've heard only good things about the ovals on SS. 32x17 should be a good mix

Shouldn't be a problem. Go for it.

It's been done many times before.

 

Just set your chain tension at the ovals's highest point.

This works fine if you have a chain tensioner. If not, then you want to top length of chain to be as parallel to the bottom as possible. Ie, get the smallest oval ring you can find so that you can have a slightly larger sprocket on the back.
