Kalahari Vegmot Posted July 21, 2017 Posted July 21, 2017 I'm interested to know what size N/W chainring YOU are using on your 1x setup... If you've got multiple bikes, which is the one you use most often?
nickc Posted July 21, 2017 Posted July 21, 2017 Currently use 32t - will move to 34t (biggest my frame can take) when I upgrade to Eagle.
corriekuilder Posted July 21, 2017 Posted July 21, 2017 Cuurently on 34 oval (kalbo),11-42 at the rear.
Rudi Pollard Posted July 21, 2017 Posted July 21, 2017 36 Oval with Sram Eagle. Thats the biggest one that will fit my bike...
Yusran Posted July 21, 2017 Posted July 21, 2017 32T with 11-42 at the back... Hills are a bit rough at the moment for my current level of fitness. Was considering going 30T or 32T oval but decided to just get fitter and lose a few kgs.
Allrounder Posted July 21, 2017 Posted July 21, 2017 34 round with 11/36 at the back. when it is time for replacing and I still have the bike i will go for 34 oval. If my bike is sold and I have a roadbike again, Ill go 48 up front.
s14phoenix Posted July 21, 2017 Posted July 21, 2017 34 With 10-42 on 27.5 wheels for hilly rides. 36 for everything else. if it was a 29er probably 32 and 34 for the ratios. I own a 32 34 and 36 and select from there.
Grease_Monkey Posted July 21, 2017 Posted July 21, 2017 Yoh, die manne kan trap! I am using a 30t Oval with 10-42t cassette. I run out of gears a bit on open roads, but for the trails I ride (and my weight) I need that 30t/42t too often haha.

I run out of gears a bit on open roads, but for the trails I ride (and my weight) I need that 30t/42t too often haha.and here i thought im the only one. i just use round. had a 32t oval on but it killed me. would love to try a 30 oval but i bought 3 round ones so they will stay on for a while.
Bomberman Posted July 21, 2017 Posted July 21, 2017 Running a 36T 10-42 on my bike, also have my 32T for place like hakahana.
lechatnoir Posted July 21, 2017 Posted July 21, 2017 Oval 32T with 11-42. This gets me up Muur de Kirstenbosch without paramedics. Just
I FLY Posted July 21, 2017 Posted July 21, 2017 Oval 34T with 18. Managed both sides of Breedts Nek without pushing. Had to stop a few times to allow my heart rate to recover.
scubes Posted July 21, 2017 Posted July 21, 2017 Exactly the same as mine but mine is 32 oval. Has made me fitter and stronger and continues to do so which is why I use it.. I still push on the occasional uphill but one day hopefully that will change... 32T with 11-42 at the back... Hills are a bit rough at the moment for my current level of fitness. Was considering going 30T or 32T oval but decided to just get fitter and lose a few kgs.
