absoluteBLACK Oval Shimano XTR M9000 96BCD Narrow Wide 30T Chainring Black

absoluteBLACK Oval chainrings work because a rider does not produce power evenly through a pedal stroke; they maximize the part of the stroke where power is produced and minimize resistance where it isn't. Oval rings make the spin cycle a lot smoother and are easier on legs while climbing. Believe it (or not), but a round chainring doesn't transfer torque to your rear wheel as smoothly as an Oval one. You will actually feel your stroke to be more "round" with an Oval shape than with a round chainring.. Size (Mass +/-1g): 32T (53g) . Colour: Black only .
