    TsPoet,

    Glad you mentioned the Corsa, as I am thinking of installing them on my Aero....hmm, might be a nice thing to ask for my birthday!!

    Did you install the same exact rings as what came on your Corsa?

    Thanks for the input.

    I didn't get the Q Rings, I went with the full-blown Rotor cranks after I had my knee scoped.

    I like 'em. I feel my power, as wimpy as it is, is evened out and my knee doesn't complain. My knee surgeon approved, too. As for speed, um, I'm not much of a speed demon without gravity assist, so I really can't help on that. I also got very low gearing, as I'm kind of heavy, and have loaded touring plans. No race gearing for this old girl.

    I also went with 165 cranks, just to keep the knees happy. I don't regret that, either.

    The bike is a Sun EZ Sport, which suits me down to the ground.
    Give big space to the festive dog that make sport in the roadway. Avoid entanglement with your wheel spoke.

    Been so long, not sure I remember. I have 155 mm crank arms, and the big ring is ~55, bigger than the stock. I never noticed any additional effort from the "larger" Q-rings, which makes sense since they are not larger in the "dead" area. The PR on the Rotor site says to go up some, or used to anyway.
