How to Mount absoluteBLACK Oval Chainrings to XTR M9100 Cranks
There is a small mark (triangle shaped) on the inner circumference of the chainring. This mark Must sit behind the crank arm.
It is ideal for 1x 10/11/12spd and Singlespeeds. Oval (elliptical) chainring does not compromise the work of clutch mechanism in rear derailleur(video at the bottom). It also does not require chain tensioner when using in singlespeed application. Riding out of saddle on the uphill will become more pleasant.
Ovality of the chainring is in range of 10-14% (dependent on size) and feels perfectly round when riding. These chainrings also help you to recover after knee injuries as pedaling becomes smoother and less exhausting. It is the most advanced oval chainring currently on the market.
