O'Symetric Chainrings... Hot or not?

[JFP.Urbike]

Chris Froome raves about them and doesn't leave home without them on his bike.

These double-cammed oddities are not without controversy. Minimal gains for maximal battling with fitment?

 

Who has tried them? Would you? Thoughts?

_{I'd love to try one as well. I guess it very much depends on your pedal stroke as not many people (myself included) are able to put out consistent power through the entire pedal stroke. The premise makes a lot of sense.}

 

_{Give it a bash and let us know what you think.}

I am putting them onto my bike after the Argus... Old guru saying: "Don't change anything before race day..."

How does that work with a front derailleur?

I have Q rotor rings on my TT bike and a FS mountain bike, OK so they don't look nearly as oval as that, and although it's a little tricky to get right it does work fine. No dropped chains!
