Setting up Rotor QXL rings

[swh1]

hi all,

Looking for a bit of advice! I am going to get the Rotor QXL rings and was wondering how easy they were to set up? I.e. Front mech, OCP position etc. I will be using a shimano crank arms on the rings.

Any help would greatly be appreciated!!

Five bolts and two allen keys. How hard can it get? Harder than installing them is understanding the bogus physics behind them. This gets re-invented every 20 years, going back 100 years.

Ah yes! The Durham chain rings of my youth !

I like the way they feel have been using them for about 8 months now, and will not be going back to round ring,

Reminds me of the Shimano Biopace I had on my racer when I was a bit younger than I am now.

Cheers all!! I know they are seen as a marketing gimmick, but I thought they would be good to try out!

I have read that front shifting can be slightly affected by the rings. So my other question would be, is it worth getting an ultegra front mech? Currently running a 105. Would it make any difference?
