Rotor Cranks - what do you know?

[smilingcat]

I know of a gadget geek who tried it. This was when they first came out about 2, 3, 4?? years ago. I was Anyway, one of the bolts kept on working its way loose and the loose bolt managed to bang into the chain stay. It damaged the frame. He returned the cranks and got his money back. I don't know what became of the damaged carbon frame.

I'm just an old purist of sort. Hated the elliptical ring thingy back in the early 80's. Those made your pedal stroke worse not better and turned you into more of a pedal masher. And the cranks you are talking about adds all that extra weight and what do you get in return. Get rid of your deadpot?? pretty small thing for the very small added power and at what cost?

I think its best saved for those with lotsa money to burn and not much ability.

Did talk to the gadget geek. He said the cranks weighed a lot and he didn't think it was worth the weight. As for the damaged frame, it was a Kline not Calfi frame. He said his Kline frame was totaled because of it. He just got his money back for the cranks but nothing for his frame.

then again I'm just an mean old b**** ,
