34t. Smooths out the pedal stroke, improves traction.
I haven't done a true scientific study, but there was a notable decrease in climbing times when I made the switch. And, I seem to get bogged down more on my bike that didn't have one. Now, both of my MTBs have one.

That paper compares a specific design (Rotor's) to conventional chainrings, and the authors state:
"The present study showed no statistical differences in maximal power output, oxygen consumption or heart rate between the oval Q-rings and the conventional circular rings. These findings suggest that Q-rings did not result in any improvement of cycling performance."

I would 100% agree with the CK choice (though my DT Swiss opinion is coloured by experience f their OE garbage). I wonder why M60 not M50 though? Proper rough courses in your neck of the woods I guess?
I also wouldn't necessarily have gone for less travel ust because the pro's do - for them it's usually a matter of positioning and just getting the front end lower on a big wheel bike.
Hi guys,
I'm looking to buy the Yeti ASRc and would love to use a lefty on it
is there any reasonably light lefty 29er with 120mm travel? I only found the 130mm supermax which is over 1,9kg
thanks
