Picked up an AbsoluteBLACK oval ring for my Bronson last season and it seemed to have helped with some knee pain I was experiencing. Today I got a package with two more for my rigid singlespeed Karate Monkey and my Rohloff equipped Moonlander. Can't wait to see how these feel on those two rigs.

Looks like floppy disks.

I should get around to installing them some time this week. Unfortunately, the winter that never was here in New England has finally decided to show up. Good news for the Moonlander, not so much for the singlespeed.

I really like my AB oval 30t. It's not really noticeable in the right gear, and I seem to have constant power up steep climbs. I would buy again.

Wait, what? Biopace returns? But it's back to being considered a good idea??

I have been in the third world way too long.

Hijacking this thread:

I just ordered this from Aliexpress: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/GEAR-KING-Ultralight-104BCD-32T-34T-36T38T-A7075-Alloy-Bike-Chainring-Oval-Round-Chainwheel-MTB-Road/32513630199.html

Will report back if it's shit or gr8 for the money. Brought the black 36t oval btw.
Thanks for the headsup. I got one of these too. Didn't realise it was narrow-wide until it arrived so happy about that. It looks really well made too. I'd like to hold it up against another model like abs.black but wouldn't be surprised if it was identical.

I got a 32t version
