Oval Chainrings.. Thoughts?

What FD are you using? When you say “…they drop chains more often…” it implies that you had drop chains before, on round rings, now you’re seeing more. Am I right?

Right now, with round rings, I am careful with front shifts (I make sure to unload the crank arm and then gently pedal over as I move up to the big ring, that’s how I thought everyone does it). Is this what you meant by being careful?
