>>1847222>>1847242Oh no contradictory opinions now what. Like I said, I have a new chain on it (about 300 miles ago) it hasn't made much difference. Soft pedaling is a temporary workaround not a fix. Something changed for the worse, and it wasn't my pedaling/shifting style, or my riding conditions.
>but anon you should do it anywayYeah I should eat more vegetables, shampoo no more than 3x a week, and be nice to strangers even when they're being a jerk you never know what they're going through, ok that's a nice thought but I'm eating deep fried chicken meat on a buttermilk biscuit with white gravy for breakfast because it tastes good and I've got some riding to do today and poached napa cabbage with kombucha isn't going to cut the mustard.
>>1847241I was looking at Absolute Black initially and the manufacturer claims the shifting isn't affected even if I have an oval big ring and a conventional small ring. But then I found a guy's blog where he said:
>Sometimes it would take several rotations before the chain caught the shift ramps and actually shiftedWhich is more in agreement with what common sense would dictate. So I looked at Rotor which he said has a less extreme oval, but they cost a fortune; the only reason I first considered Absolute Black was that it wasn't much more than a new Shimano ring (and they claimed the shifting is just fine). So this is starting to head in the direction of the earlier guy's "consoom product" allegation.
Yeah ok I kinda want to consoom product there I said it, ok? But sadly this is looking like maybe I'd better stick with conventional Shimano circle shaped rings. If I change my mind I promise to make pictures and keep the thread interesting.
