Lately i have been reading alot about O.symetric chainrings, i know they have been about for years but lately they seem to becoming more used by the roadies.

I was just wondering if any MTB manufacturers have tried to make or use these on MTB's or is there is any reason why they cant?

    I have Biopace on my road bike, and one of my mountain bikes. Quite honestly can't tell the difference when I ride.
