My chain line went to hell, when I added the Oval ring on a double crank. the Only draw back is noise. a Perfect clean & lubed chain line is pretty damn quiet. Like all you hear is spoke whrrrr and what ever crunch is between tires and pavement. I'm still on 1/8th chain... I should swap it out for 3/16. I never ride fixed.
