And other people have tested them and found them not to really do
anything much. The jury is still very much out. I'm not saying
they don't/can't help, just that the writing isn't on the wall in
unremovable neon paint with letters 5 miles high like it is with
clipless pedals, and the Rotors do cost a lot I'd sooner spend on
something else.
When professional racers, who make more money by going faster, and
record attempt machines start to use Rotors in significant numbers
then I'll /really/ take notice. At the moment they don't, and they
do use cycling shoes and clipless pedals.
