popcorn_skollie Posted May 2, 2017 Share I personally have never been able to tell the difference between one narrow wide and another. I've had billions. They were all the same to me. Assuming we're talking about the same tooth count and price bracket. I would buy the one I thought was prettiest.

Meentb Posted May 2, 2017 Share Which one makes a SRAM direct mount 3mm offset? Absolute black or the suppliers in SA never seem to have stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grease_Monkey Posted May 2, 2017 Share I am running Csixx on my Single Speed and Absolute Black on my Trail Bike. In all honesty, I cannot tell the difference, both are quality products. I would go for CSixx - support local Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grease_Monkey Posted May 2, 2017 Share Which one makes a SRAM direct mount 3mm offset? Absolute black or the suppliers in SA never seem to have stock Both make the 3mm offset. I have the Absolute Black 3mm offset on my trail bike, but at the time of buying both brands had some in stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTB G Posted May 2, 2017 Share 3mm offset? Was told to go with 6mm offset....looking at 32T Oval to go with my Sram GX 1x11.... Got Sram 104BCD Cranks at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotSoBigBen Posted May 2, 2017 Share Just as an aside ... is the 'timing' for want of a better word the same on all oval rings so the only differentiator is how long they MAY last? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewbacca Posted May 2, 2017 Share 6mm for a 135/142mm standard. 3mm offset for boost. I just ordered a 28 tooth CSIXX for EA... that 0.66666 granny ratio is equal to a 24/36 2x and with a 10kg plus backpack it makes a huge difference. Will see how it goes and report back. CSIXX is local so I would be more inclined to support them than AB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Jewbacca mentioned, 3mm offset is for boost bikes. 6mm for your standard 142mm bikes. You won't go wrong with Oval, feels a bit strange to start off with, but you get used to it after 10mins, and although it won't transform your climbing ability, it does help.

Eddy Gordo Posted May 2, 2017 Share Can I make you more confused(or rather will I?) I am on the Rotar Q oval ring. What I like about it is that you have 3 bolt settings. So you can advance or retard the angle of the oval.I bought from Evobikes http://rotorbike.com/catalog/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/C/0/C01-013-23010B-0-F01-475px_8.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
