Bira Posted June 11, 2019 Share Hi im considering the lyne oval chainring. I currently have a 30t oval absolute black that came with my bike. Its a bit small causing me to spin too much.Want to get me a 32t. The Lyne seems like a good buy at R549. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you perceive a benefit? or just replacing with an oval because the bike had one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skubarra Posted June 11, 2019 Share Why do you want an oval? Do you perceive a benefit? or just replacing with an oval because the bike had one? Purely based on the Strava PR's (and the few KOM's) I've been racking up since I switched to oval - I also perceive a benefit when riding oval. lerouc, Mr. G, Wannabe and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bira Posted June 11, 2019 Share Also have a look at Rapide. I did have a look. Lyne is locally available in CT and price is identical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselnDust Posted June 11, 2019 Share Why do you want a round? Do you perceive a benefit? or just replacing with a round because the bike had one? no secondary harmonics affecting the rear suspension performance under pedaling no strange power readings with a round ring Edited June 11, 2019 by DieselnDust billygoat0523 and mtbride 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilipV Posted June 11, 2019 Share I have two Lyne rings. They work well. I also have a CSIXX ring, works just as well. IMO they are much of a muchness in terms of difference between them. Edited June 11, 2019 by PhilipV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Me rida my bicycle Posted June 11, 2019 Share I run wolf tooth and very happy and had same experience with absolute black. Nothing wrong with csixx like that it's locally made. Mr. G 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCD Posted June 11, 2019 Share I love the look of the AB but the extra price is not justifiable in RSA... CSIXX first choice because they are made here. Then Lyne for sure. Very good value.The geometry should be more or less the same with most of them, and I never managed to wear a chainring out. Just change your chain in time and you will ride forever.I find that on really hard climbs they create a perceived better load distribution in my legs. Less sharp load peaks. I have a little weakness around cramping and that helped me a lot. This is very personal and very unscientific though. Try it, like it or toss it bullet77 and Tatt 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
