I put these Absolute Black oval rings on a Dura Ace 9000 crank last week. They have 48/32 and 46/30 options, among others. I wanted 46/30 and these fit on my existing crank so I went for them. I have to say I am surprised by how much I like them - I was sort of skeptical of the oval thing, but they are noticeably more smooth when I am standing and not noticeable when seated.

This is why I called the OX series cranks a hodge-podge: On the surface, they look like they would use off-the-shelf standard chainrings, but in reality they use special proprietary chainrings. The same is true of the Praxis Works sub-compact, which looks like it uses standard 110 BCD chainrings, but in reality requires a special proprietary inner chainring and chainring bolts. |

A triple ring crankset is the right one if you want to do everything on your bike and you are not a superfit athlete. So they are cancelling the triple ring crankset. Instead we have disc brakes and 12 speed cassettes. Thank you. |

Especially if you hate change and want 50% of your gearing to overlap with no added benefit. Enjoy.

46/30 is my dream crankset too, with a 10-42 cassette, you get a super low low and a super high high.
I also wish Shimano would let you mix and match road/mtb Di2 deraillers. It is all very annoying that I have to create a frankenstein drivetrain to get the gearing I want. (I also have a bike with a triple in similar range, but I feel like I am playing the piano when I ride the triple, so I can see why triples are dead.) |

Is this while racing, or on a casual group ride? I have to say I have found 50x12 to be lacking, but mostly due to poor technique on my part. If you crest before the tandem and hope to get on their wheel on the descent, forget it. If you slow down and stay on their draft, you won't need as much power on the descent. It is hard to spin fast and apply a lot of power at the same time. |

I have never raced but Thursday nights at 6pm on Fiesta Island in San Diego there could be a pack of 20-40 really strong guys, some ex pros, a rare pro or 2. Im just barely hang on for a few laps and 50x11 does not cut it for me, maybe if I could spin smoother at a higher rpm ? Its fun to try and pass a tandem on a down hill. .

Maybe on custom and small volume frames, but that ship has sailed on mass production bicycles. |

Nobody rides with me either, so I'm obviously a dummy. Here's a nasty bit of steepness.. including my failure at the end and having to hike.. but yeah, that's 569 watts at 5.1 mph. |
