SS needs new drivetrain, and someone has lent me a hardly-used Q-ring to try, so I will.

Anyway, its a 34T - but presumably it will feel like more than 34T at maximum and less than 34T at minimum. Any idea by what extent? Range of 32-36, for example?

Tazzy reckons his wobbly one feels 2 teeth smaller iirc.

Tazzy is/was right. Got 'em on both my bikes, one on ss the other 1x9. Pedalling feels totally normal and 'circular' too. He was recommending the Goldtech ones which I bought.

Where's the diameter big on the Q rings? Is 90 degrees out from the cranks? If so, a 34t Rotor Q would need a 36t bash but feel as easy as a 32 but fast as a 34? Quite curious about using it on 1x10...

Just like chiefgrooveguru I'm interested in using the 34 as a 1x10 but on a 29er.
Anyone have any experience? Most of my riding is quantocks/exmoor/dartmoor

Goldtec varies between 36T and 32T diameter based on clearances on my frame, Q is similar I think.
