Should have bought it much earlier!
I ride it on a Trek Stache. This is a 29+ bike that naturally takes more effort to ride it nicely at pace (due to the large tyres). Went from a standard 30 blade to an Oval 34. What a huge difference. Indeed, it feels a bit strange for the first 2km, seems like it's pedalling on. But once you get going, it pedals much nicer. I notice the most difference when going up a hill/mountain. There is no longer a dead moment where you always have to pedal over. Now it's a constant flowing motion. It is also easier to ride at a higher pace. This is also because the blade has become bigger. Long hesitated to do it, that doubt was unnecessary. Super blade!!! Will definitely be on my other bike too :-)

Takes some getting used to but then very nice
Fitted the rotor Q-ring 36t which was simple. The first few rides you feel it well on your muscles that it rotates slightly differently from a round blade. I feel it now cycles more finely.
