Aha! Corrected! Good!

I wish I could afford a couple of sets.

I was reciting the list of other people's complaints.  I think they are 
very appealing.

I don't think they are lame at all in any of these respects. Compass are
quite clear about their reasons for these limitations, if limitations they
are and their reasons make sense.

[RBW] These cranks stink so good!

2011-12-14 Thread William
Let me see if I remember the full list of gripes about Compass' reissue of 
Rene Herse Cranks:

1.  They only come in 171mm ?!  Lame
2.  They cost $385 ?!  Lame
3.  You can't get a big chainring ?!  Lame
4.  Proprietary rings ?!  Lame
5.  Three bolts  ?!  Lame
6.  No ramps or pins or shift assist of any kind ?!  Lame
7.  Made in Taiwan  ?!  Lame

Nevertheless, I'd still really love to have a few sets of them, and now 
they are accepting orders for them.

If you bought them for me I'd run them on both of my go fast bikes in a 
48/32.  I'd run a 46/30 or maybe even a 44/28 on my brevet bikes.  Maybe 
it's time to liquidate some more stuff
