Let's Ride Posted July 24, 2012 Share Will lets others post but it's easier to keep power going up a hill than on a straight ... So you always peddling slightly uphill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cippo Posted July 24, 2012 Share Eliminates the dead spot in pedalling stroke. I see that other guy that won this big cycle race called Tour de France uses it even on TT machine. He is part of this pro team called Sky or something like that. His team mate came second also uses it and the whole team. The team nogal came second in that race's team competition. Figure it works for them. Oh ja, theres another company called Rotor that also does those rings. Dont know who copied from who. Its not the same concept though like those silly Bio- pace rings from Shimano in the late 80's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_stig Posted July 24, 2012 Share If you switched to one what other changes/adjustments would you need to make to derailleurs etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agteros Posted July 24, 2012 Share Anybody seen how the Sky chain(s) - think it was on Wiggo's bike - jumped around with these rings(or is it ovals?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cav' Posted July 24, 2012 Share Only a matter of time before the fad catches on and all new bikes will have them standard. Almost like the 29er fad in RSA Edited July 24, 2012 by Cavendish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trance Dance Posted July 24, 2012 Share How do the o'symetric rings differ from the biopace rings? I've got biopace rings on my road bike, never noticed any advantage, or any difference for that matter. Then again, its the only road bike I've ridden so not much to compare to.

Cav' Posted July 24, 2012 Share Wiggins would've kicked ass on a pony this tdf.http://media.skynews.com/media/images/generated/2012/7/18/181735/fixed/0-0-1600-1200/400/v1/bradley-wiggins-canvas-size-1-942x707.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
