I noticed the difference on the very first ride on my fat bike. Pedaling has a very natural feel and makes climbing very smooth. When I got my new Specialized Enduro, I immediately fitted a 30T Oval on it and love it. No problem with the chain guide.

Well said. You notice the difference but it still feels natural.

I does work and does make climbing smoother and more efficient. I’ll be doing a long term test over the next few months 👌

Just got mine! Climbing was always a strong part of my riding and this Oval Absoluteblack makes it that much easier for sure! Thanks for the video.

I've not tried one of these yet but they do look quite interesting. Do you have a discount code?

[@stratoskatsipidis9395]

How about long term durability ? if you compere with standard chainring.Thanks

[@OneTrackMindCyclingMagazine]

Our chainring is still going strong now. No issues with durability
