carnage001 Started a new thread Absolute Black OVAL Chainring
9/21/2020 12:28pm Hi everyone! So I am trying to change my stock SRAM X-sync chainring with an oval one from absoluteblack. I'm currently running a 32t and would like to change to 34t oval. I'm using the SRAM NX crank which has the spider and the crank arm as one piece. When I fitted up the new chainring, it hits the chainstay...

The jump from a 32 round to a 34 oval is massive as the widest part of a 34 oval is similar to the diameter of a 36t ring. I work for a company in the US that distributes AB and I run it on all of my bikes. I would not recommend reversing the ring. I doubt it would give you enough clearance to run a 34 anyway.

If that's your stock set-up a 34 will not fit and you're maxed at a 32T round. If you're putting spacers behind the bracket your axle won't protrude enough on the non-driveside of the bracket to properly install cranks. As @mfoga mentioned: If you're using a Shimano bb with Sram cranks it's definitely time for a different mechanic.

9/8/2019 6:48pm We have fixed the issue on the spindle on the non drive side before when i replaced my bb. They put a sleeve so the spindle will fit. I should have checked first the max chainring diameter compatible. Waste of bucks now 😥

There is no doping to be found here. It's just data mining, it does not actively enhance the bike's performances during a said run. It's like powermeters that are used for road racing, except this one does not even show what it records to the rider.
