I just put some on my mountain bike.
First impressions are that it feels good standing, a bit too dramatic sitting. Definitely prefers lower cadence. Also, it feels as if the timing is off, like my foot speeds up around the 5o'clock position, I'd like it to delay until the 5:30 or 6o'clock position. shifting is fine, though. I'm running 38/24.

Looks like a slightly less exaggerated osymmetric rings. In between qrings and osym. Price is better than both.

I ride qrings, cant say how these ride ormdiffer from those.

It seems that the timing of the rings are different/earlier than O-symetric and especially Rotor Q/QXL-rings. That might be what @thisisatest is feeling.

I have been running the Doval's for over a month and have been experimenting with changing the position on them. My first concern was shift quality. Not really an issue. It was a pain to setup but now it is and works great. As for whether or not the work: they feel different. I kinda like it, but I'm not going to go so far as to say you get a real advantage with them.

I personally prefer a slightly different orientation where I put the label right where it says "smallest" on the chainring behind the crankarm. They are a bit heavier (180+/-5g for my set of 52/40), but they are also cheaper than any decent chainring set on the market. Look pretty slick IMO

I had my first ride on them today and once i worked out the timing on the front shift it wasnt a problem.
I set them up as recommended as didn't really notice much on the first 50km which was a slow club run. If anything, maybe i was feeling the same as thisisatest, that the timing is a bit early. Once i went off on my own though and moved forward a bit on the saddle, as i would for a TT, the timing seemed spot on. Climbing and sprinting were fine and i'm thinking i'm converted...
