Product Information

Full details

The Absolute Black Oval Chainring (50T) is designed for dedicated cyclists using Sram road cranksets who want to improve their pedaling biomechanics and power output. By utilizing an optimized oval shape, this chainring helps reduce knee stress and promotes a smoother pedal stroke, making it an excellent choice for climbers and endurance riders. Please note that this specific model is engineered for 110/5BCD Sram cranks with a hidden chainring bolt, so compatibility verification is essential before installation.

FAQs

Will this fit my Sram Red crankset?

Yes, this is designed for Sram Red, Red eTap, Red22, Force1, Force22, Rival, and Rival1 models with the 110/5BCD hidden bolt pattern.

Do I need a special front derailleur for an oval ring?

No, this chainring is designed to work with your existing front derailleur without any special modifications.

Will the oval shape feel strange while riding?

Most riders notice a slight difference during the first 10-15 minutes of riding, but it quickly becomes natural and often feels smoother than a round ring.

Is the 50T compatible with a 34T inner ring?

Yes, this 50T ring is designed to work in a standard compact configuration (50/34).

How do I maintain the shifting ramps?

Keep your chain properly lubricated and use a degreaser to remove gunk from the ramps and recesses during your regular bike cleaning routine.

Troubleshooting

Chain drops during shifting

Verify the front derailleur cage is parallel to the chainrings and check that the high/low limit screws are properly adjusted.

Hesitant up-shifting under load

Ensure the chainring is clean and that the front derailleur is properly indexed; also check for chain stretch.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Improved pedaling smoothness and cadence
  • Reduced joint fatigue on long climbs
  • High-performance shifting quality
  • Durable, stiff construction for maximum power transfer

Cons

  • Compatible only with specific 110/5BCD hidden bolt cranks
  • Requires an adaptation period for the oval feeling
  • More expensive than entry-level round chainrings

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the Absolute Black Oval Chainring requires standard chainring bolts and should be performed on a clean, dry crank arm. Ensure that the timing marker on the chainring is aligned correctly with the crank arm to maintain the intended ovality advantage. Because this model is built for the Sram hidden bolt configuration, the fifth bolt sits directly behind the crank arm, providing a cleaner aesthetic and better structural integrity. For care, regularly clean your drivetrain to remove grit from the shifting ramps to maintain optimal shifting speed. Inspect the teeth for wear every 2,000 miles, similar to standard alloy chainrings.
