Good timing on your question. I have a 32t oval and there is some noticeable bob. I tried a 32t round and there was still bob- a little less than the oval. Also, I had a lot of difficulty with the stroke of the round ring so I went back to oval.
TBH I've debated selling it. I love the bike but I've realized it doesn't resonate with my riding needs. I need something more efficient and a little lighter. It rides beautifully on the downs but overall doesn't feel spritely on the climbs and everywhere in between. I am putting it on a diet and going back to air shock as a last ditch effort. Yeah I went full enduro with the coil shock which certainly isn't helping.
