Is An Oval Chain Ring Better?

I've had this oval chain ring now for a couple of years, but for some reason was hesitate about putting it on my bike. Well, I finally did and I'm happy I did it!

That rear hub noise makes this video entirely unwatchable 😢

[@MorganBishopp]

Haha, I love it. It has a dual purpose for me- high engagement hub for techy bits and also it allows people know where I am on the trails without me having to have an annoying bell on.

i stopped the video at 2:31...can t even hear the speaker!Even after the video, i am listening this rear hub...

[@robh2312]

I have an oval on my Bronson and I think it's the best upgrade for technical climbing. Especially good since our Bronsons a Mullets. My Bronson originally came with a 32t but the guys at Absolute Black recommended going with a 30t so that it could feel like a 28t.

That's awesome! I'm mad I didn't put it on my bike sooner, haha. I've had it for probably 2 years laying around! I agree though, it's great for techy climbs.

@@MorganBishopp Well, at least you got some use out of the old chainring

[@MorganBishopp]

Thank you!!

[@Markozzy]

love the sound of the hub what brand is the hub?

[@MorganBishopp]

It's been a great hub with a dual purpose, haha. Great for others to hear me on the trail coming. It's the Industry Nine Hydro Boost.

@@MorganBishopp sounds nice defo hear u coming for sure

[@khoi_tran]

The science is there and the gains are marginal, but I do feel it makes difference and I run an oval.

[@MorganBishopp]

I agree! It's not this massive huge difference, but there is a difference there with climbing. I'm glad I finally gave it a try!
