Most threads i've seen says Sram is super problematic with oval chainrings.andy4g63 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 27, 2022 2:34 pmWith all the information here I have to ask:
Do you guys think that an Absolute Black oval ring in 48/32/11 speed./, would work with SRAM AXS flattop chain???
I have an AB oval in 50-36 on my other bike and running with Shimano M9100 XTR 12 sp. chain and it runs and shifts spectacular.
The only thing I had to do is to file the pulleys a little bit to make them narrower.
I have J&L pulleys and they were skipping a bit before I sanded them...
Soo could I have the 11 sp.AB ovals with SRAM AXS flat chain???
Or maybe is better to use Shimano 12 sp chain with 11 sp AB rings/since I am running it on the other Etap/ but not AXS bike.
LMK on your thoughts...

To be honest, i wouldn't even try. The FD is so picky when it comes to how the FD cage works moving the chain talking setup.
To me it seems the info (read between the lines) of a working setup kind of says, don't go there....
