Wolf Tooth Components Elliptical Drop-Stop Chainring: 30T, for RaceFace Cinch Direct Mount, Boost Chainline

Not sure how the oval works as far as getting ride of knee pain, but it does. I feel like it allows me to climb more efficiently.

I previously had a 32T round ring, went down to this 30T oval and my goodness what a difference. I feel like I'm riding a 1x12 while having a 1x11. I was able to climb technical things that I previously almost couldnt. The power output felt so consistent and my legs didnt feel the same fatigue as with a round ring.100% would recommend, cant believe I've waited as long as I have to make this upgrade. Plus I didnt even have to change my chain since at the widest point the 30T oval ring expands to the width of a 32T round ring.Edit: Im a month into owning this ring, a dozen rides since installation. The only issue I have with this ring and its user related is that its a bit tougher to feel out the correct gears. Say for example if I'm beginning a climb or descent, because a round ring has much wider range of tension, you could feel what gear you should or shouldnt be in pretty quickly. With this because of its ovality, its a very specific and narrow spot so I am making some mistakes when gearing. Is it ruining the ride? Absolutely not, its a tad annoying but its an issue of getting used to that spot is all.Just thought it would be an interesting observation to share.

Great ring but sheesh it’s expensive. Tough to believe how much they get for a little piece of metal these days. 5 stars but for price

the elliptical does give a bit more power, but it's a small difference, but the chain ring is great! I'm not worried about dropping a chain anytime soon.

Muy contento con el funcionamiento y la calidad repetiré
