    What, you mean like these? btinternet.commiddleburn cranks.jpg Not on
    the bike, though - XT cranks and Middleburn rings. I bought those secondhand, with the intention of
    removing the bigger ring for an SS project. I like Middleburn rings but think the cranks are
    over-rated, personally.

    It's parallel bike evolution. Bits which work and keep working stay on the bike; bits which don't
    cut it are replaced as they break or wear out. Example: all my bikes have Flite saddles, ODI
    lock-ons, Time pedals and (depending on weather) Crud Guards front & rear. As I said before - the
    real surprise is that everyone else isn't running this setup too.

    Best damned guards on the market, and you can't beat the 'if they _ever_ break we'll replace them
    free' policy. Not that they break.
