Pine?

Submitted by bugmcw on 10/20/2009.

That, good sir, would be a maple leaf.

Ultra Norsk makes all their air fresheners in the shape of a maple leaf. The green ones are pine scented.

Well,

Submitted by Afreelunch on 10/20/2009.

I couldn't tell you man.
I did a century on this same crankset and never had any trouble.
I commute on this particular setup daily and there's never been a problem with the ride or the feel there, either.

yeah,

Submitted by Afreelunch on 10/22/2009.

You know, I don't think it's really necessary. I get the concept, but it seems superfluous. I've just never had any ill effect from my biopace rings. I have a feeling that mine are not as "eggpointed" as some earlier incarnations though, and that might have a hand in the swaying of my affections. I'm just into goofy tech.

biopace info

Submitted by Afreelunch on 10/22/2009.

Also, everyone should check out Sheldon Brown's info on Biopace, don't confuse it for eliptical! He even encourages using biopace on fixed wheel setups. http://www.sheldonbrown.com/biopace.html
