As I said, the Sky riders that used them still use em on the TT bike since they're never really in the small ring in a TT and thus the shifting doesn't matter. They also tend to like them, as Phinney likes q-rings on his tt rig, because they're so far forward that it minimizes the need to pull over the top of the stroke. _________________ Don't take me too seriously.

I think he's just playing mind games with everyone, because people make such a fuzz about his gear. _________________ Bikes: Raw Ti, 650b flatbar CX

With no trimming in sram, and Di2 shifting is not so optimal for oval rings, specially with osymmetrics and the new q-rings with the oval shape more exagerated to really make a difference. _________________ Happy Trails !!!
