Seths Pool Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 does it need to be absolute black brand? you can get a deckas 32t oval 104bcd chain ring on Ebay for like $11 brand new. maybe even cheaper. you'll just have to wait a few weeks for it to get delivered from china. you can probably find one in the states (faster shipping) for about $15. but im happy to look through my box of chain rings and see what I have but I dont think im gonna have what you're looking for. almost everything I have nowadays is direct mount Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidingAgain Posted December 19, 2018 Author Share Posted December 19, 2018 Thanks Seth... I wish I'd known about the Deckas earlier I would have given it a try. Just won an Absolute on eBay — looks like-new, $35 — so I'm good for now. But I've put more items in my list, so if you have any please let me know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RidingAgain Posted December 23, 2018 Author Share Posted December 23, 2018 (edited) Damn... Thanks man... Much appreciated. And while I have your attention I'd like to ask you to comegive me the benefit of your trail building experience. There's a short section of trail I've got the nod to work on down here in SATN... Right near where I live. I think it has good potential for some trail like what you build and ride. If you have time to get down here and give it a look and make suggestions I'd appreciate it.

I've had the AB on my FS. The Deckas is crap. Night and day difference in feel with the AB. The AB almost feels like it's not there because the timing on the oval fits so well into my pedal stroke. The Deckas felt like I was surging. Fast, Slow, Fast, Slow, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRider3141 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 It's possible it was installed wrong by the PO, I just took the AB Kool-aid and figured it was bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll also say, it was spray painted black so any alignment rings that might be there are covered up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seths Pool Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Also just realized it’s not deckas, it’s “snail” brand. Anyways it’s in the back of my truck for you riding along. Come grab it whenever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes a big difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
