More and more this set-up is making sense to me. I have a pair of VO 50.4 BCD cranks on my rando bike and while I love the 46/30 rings I just don't like the cranks. Set-up is a bit tricky as it's much easier to have issues with chainline and the crank arms hitting the chain due to the design. Why they didn't update the design a bit, like Rene Herse did, rather than just make a straight copy of the TA crank is beyond me. Also, I don't know that I'm a van of the super low q- factor. I sold my QB a while back but kept the cranks. I may use them on my Hilsen with an 8-spd 11-32 cassette. Two questions: 1) What derailer do I use? Double? Triple? 2) Are there any issues I need to be aware of when using the big (middle) ring and the lowest or highest gear? I guess I have a third question, how do I determine chain length, just wrap the chain around the big (middle) ring and lowest gear?
