I have tried the Absolute Black 46 & 30 chainrings on an Ultegra 6800 compact crankset. I have also installed a 48 & 32 GRX crankset on my Canyon Endurace.
I was dropping the chain and have shifting issues with the Absolute Black chainrings. The bike has STAM eTap and the shifting of the oval chainring is not ideal.
The 48 & 31 GRX crankset is ideal on a disc brake bike. But the chainline on a rim brake bike would be offset and problematic.
