BOLTS

  • Special bolts are included with 30T (2xM5 TI / 2xM7 AL)
  • Special bolts are included with 32T (4xM7 AL)

IMPORTANT

Due to very special offset construction and custom bolts:

  • 30T can only work with 46T and special bolt set 46/30. (bolts included with small ring)
  • 32T can only work with 48T and special bolt set 48/32. (bolts included with small ring)

No other combination or mix of rings will work. Due to special mounting construction, aesthetic bolt covers are not offered for this design
We Only recommend Dura-ace 11spd chain or Sram Eagle 12spd chain for proper clearance of mounting tabs

Advantages of Absolute Black sub-compact Oval chainrings:

  • 30 and 32T chainrings allow you to climb on your own terms with improved cadence and efficiency

  • Have you ever had to walk the climb on sportive race? These rings will save you from it.
  • 46/11 or 48/11 is still a big gear to push on the flat. For your daily ride, you most likely don't need more

  • AB oval reduces stress on knees and helps your legs remain fresher for longer
  • You will be able to maintain better cadence while climbing

What size should I choose?

  • 46/30T is best for great gravel adventures where lots of climbing is involved and bike is packed with gear. Or simply for you to actually enjoy road climbs like Sa Calobra in Majorca or Alpe d'Huez in France
  • 48/32T is ideal for general road climbing and day to day riding. Planning L'Étape du Tour? This size is right for you (30T would be too slow).
