I couldn’t believe how good I felt while turning over the pedals.

    Yeah, I read this too - "fair dinkum" as they say, but you're right, it looks like they've been attacked my a militia!

    Mind you, I guess you're not truly pro until you've got some mis-matched equipment with the sponsors name blacked out with felt tip, eh?!

    I just thought I'd have a quick google just out of interest at how much they are. Annoyingly Chain Reaction Cycles have bought a keyword ad on Google for "Osymetric chainrings" when they don't sell anything of the sort. Seems a really pointless exercise, as I can't see anyone ordering a standard round chainring from them if they're after an Osymetric!

    The net result is claimed to be 1% faster and is slightly more efficient when you are climbing than when on the flat. The difference is 0.9 km/hr when climbing, and 0.7km/hr when on the flat.

    So your speed on the flat goes up from 70 km/h to 70.7 km/h ??
