Paul Ruinaard Posted December 17, 2021 Share Hi have been running AB ovals for some time now and they work fine. Rings are great mine are about 4 years old and still going fine and i am a fat boy so can hurt chains and rings. peetwindhoek 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christie Posted December 19, 2021 Share On 12/15/2021 at 5:32 PM, Jewbacca said: YES!! The 'oval vs round' debate! As timeless as the wheelsize debate, disc brake vs rim brake roadie debate and my favourite, the 'all you really need is a rigid SS' vs dual suss debate! Cue the anecdotal pseudo science replies! Day made........... Chainrings = to be faster Wheelsize = to be faster Disk brakes = to be slower Rigid SS = to be slower Only 2 of the above are worth debating.

Jbr Posted September 12, 2022 Share https://absoluteblack.cc/graphenpads-worlds-best-disc-brake-pads-disc-34-dura-ace at which point does the marketing starts smelling like BS ? I mean I was this close from buying their wax then I realised I'm pretty happy with normal wax that I buy from takealot. Chainrings well.. I've got oval on the MTB and round on the road, I wouldn't go back to ovals for the road but on the MTB why not. But 60$ graphene brake pads ?? I mean they already have a 600$ cage that's heavier than the standard dura ace cage and saves you 2watts but this isn't going to save you anything, I wonder why anyone would want anything else than the regular break pads 😄 Edited September 12, 2022 by Jbr DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMM make up your minds what is sticky or slicky Mopkop 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
