As an aside to something on another thread I mentioned Bio-Pace
chainrings. Are these or similar shaped chainrings of any advantage to
a casual or touring cyclist on a road bike?
Thanks and cheers
you just have to try one for a few weeks to see if you like it, I have had one for several years and love it and i have transferred it from the diamondback it came on through several bikes i have owned and its now on a giant and has always been on my daily rider. I love it but some people just plain don't like them, its a personal choice. try one if you can find it, you may just never go round again.
You're just a tad late with that reply. ONE year and ONE day since I posted to question. ;)
FWIW, we put the Biopace rings on my buddy's bike and he loves them claiming it really saves his knees especially on the longer steeper hills here in town.
Cheers
