Fanie fiets you are right but we will never sell anything we dont beleive in. It is your choice we provide the service with honest opinion. That is my philospohy i will only comment to get the right 'stats' across. So yip make your own choice. We only want the best for you because that brings success for both you and me. If I had rubbish what would the word be I would loose my business faster than the product sold. I admire your honesty and hope you do mine.
with regard tpo Biopace. They made the large gear in the deadspot as thats where riders showed most power produced not the power sroke. ,Q rings big gear equivalent from a 53 to 56 is in the power stroke and the smallest 50/51 in the deadspot. They are also adjustable for your optimum stroke setting
Everyone is hard to convince. But the guys are right theyare working.I ask you again Christie where are you? If you want I can get a loan set to you!!!!! If we convince you then the rest of the riders are piece of cake No serious I will arrange a loan set shhh!
Christie you sound like all the SA skeptics. Look ahead to the future .The product does work I have emails etc that show that individuals are getting better speed, lower heart rate etc the day the rings go on. It is a typical argument why don't the pro's ride them. Money talks. it costs about ?500 000. to support or have team use your product. In one case the opposition through even more cash at the team to stave off Rotor. Rotor is a small independant company and competing with the boys is difficult. We have had some of our local pro tour riders want the product but the Campag's said no way. Check out the Giro and see how many of our pro's ride q rings or Rotor Cranks. So yes the pro's are riding them or are our pro's not good enough that you are waiting for the 'the pro's' to ride them? Colnago Belgium fit them to their bikes some models, standard. Hey I'm not knocking you but its not a gimmick. I Promise. Where are you you wanna try a set?
If your pedalling is effecient then you will be faster. If you spend less energy pedalling then you will have more energy to perform. Search for qrings. As these new oval rings reduce lactate levels, heart rate and improve effeciency. So if we take the whole picture perfect pedalling, then add the extra's we will have a 'new boy' in town. If we take average rider and giev him/her better wheels, carbon frame, handlebars and seat post how much better will the rider be? Yes more comfortable and look better but not neccessarily faster. Change the pedalling mechanics and there is a definite time improvement for the same effort at a better heart rate and effeciency.
Remember to ask what the user weight is for the wheels i have a great deal of guys with wheels where they are to heavy for the wheels Buckled. But remeber if you wanna go faster check your pedalling? your chainrings and crankset?
That is true but I have some studies done on effeciency friction etc if you want i can email them. Remember the less the friction the further you go! A sudy was done with a 12 gr weight on a wheel it was allowed to spin buy dropping the weight and allowing it to spin. he highest regular wheel spun 52 times the highest ceramic bearing wheel 300 times. we also look at jockey wheels where the most tension and resistance is. This also makes a huge difference as well as the BB bearing change. The key is not always weight but pedalling effeciency. IE new effecient ways of pedalling smoother, less friction, less energy consumed, better performance.
Apparantley it help Tyler hamilton in theOlympics. It gave him 0.8 sec per km. But the again so do Q rings and Rotors so maybe all together you will be as fast as light
I need opinions on these.We are looking at adding these bearings from CeramicSpeed to our range but I want to know your feelings. They are 'pricey' but fact shows better rolling resistance, better effeciency more speed, longer life. They make bearings for the pulley 'jockey' wheels', BB's, wheels and pedals. Any opinions?
The shifting shouldn't be any problem anymore only sometimes with Wipperman chain. It just takes a bit more care in the mechanics tuning of the final settings. They are lighter and we have had our first set out in 2005 befor Telkom Classic with Cashandra Slingerland and she is still riding the same rings. There were also a few sets in last years Epic and those guys are still riding the same set. So thanks to all of you that are Rotorised with Q rings
