I am building up a new Scandal frame and I have a slx 7120 boost direct drive crank and need a chainring. Will I get away with a 34t oval ?
Anyone ?
I think On One officially say a 32t round chainring. The chainstays an odd shape though so it might be very dependant on the exact chainline.
As a work around op, you could go for a 10t or even 9t cassette at the back.
Almost definitely not the cheapest option but...
I've got a 32 oval on mine. Once I've done school run I'll have a look at clearance for you.
Ice a 32 oval on mine. I don't have a 34 to check. I'll try and take a picture and upload later on.
32 oval on mine. I daresay a 34 would go but it’ll be super tight.
Ah old skool round 32 on mine but curious as doing an upgrade soon and was considering 34.
I ran 34T round on mine non boost too, so boost a 34 oval or 36 round will fit. I recall there wasn't much in the way of space though.
I have a 34t oval on mine. prefer round though
Cool 34t oval it will be (as long as I can find one in stock for the new direct mount shimano crank) at a reasonable price.
Remember that a 34 oval will be as wide as a 36 at its widest point. Give or take, anyway.
I suspect that might be bloody close to the frame but in reality you just won't know till you try it. Fingers crossed though bux.
I have a mate who has a 34t ab oval on a non boost crank. I will offer this up into my bb and try to replicate chain line. It should let me know if it will fit. I will report back.🤞
Today I found a local shop with stock of ab narrow wide oval rings.and after offering a 32t up and a 34t I can confirm that a 34t fits on my large Scandal with a slx 7120 crank. It is rather tight to the chainstay but by my reckoning it should be fine - I am not expecting much frame flex around the bb.
How close was yours Bigjim
