Your explanation make sense. I do want to add that as you get to your power phase the speed increased because the chainring is much bigger. As an example on a 50T the chainring is actually a 52T at the power phase and therefore the ratio at that instance is a bit higher. Also, since the ratio is intermittent, the rider feels as if it is easier on the knee because the power transfer is not constant. This is helpful especially on hill climb when the lactic build up don’t get a chance to accumulate in the muscle hence it delays the fatiguing of the muscle. This is just my observation and not scientifically tested or proven. Absolute Black is the brand that I have in all my bikes and I highly recommend it.

Down to earth explanation. I enjoy your video series across the board!! Thanks for the info.

Hey man! Really very interesting 👍🏻 Respect to such trivial and detailed explanation!

Very well explained, thanks

I love my Absolute Black oval chainring and will never go back to "round" again

The way i see it , the crank position where you can apply the most power ,it lessens the torque And where your cranks are the weskest it maximises the torque

nice, thanks for sharing..

Eccellente spiegazione 👍

Was long term biopace user ..from day one. I liked using them.. was a lot stronger in my youth though .. would like maybe to try again in a triple if I could fine a good one... still a bit old school as I enjoy 3x9 ( welll maybe not that old) 3x6

I’ve got the hope oval boost on my Henderson best bike ever had

Thanks for the explanation it makes sense. I have a road bike with an oval chainring. I am about to change the chain. My question is: Does the chain have more links than one with a round chain ring? Secondly the smaller front chainring, is that also oval or is it round? I cannot tell. Thanks for any response.

Why didn't it catch on
