Using qring at #3 position, middle one. First ride after change crank and qring terus go climb up mayor Hill bukit tunku. At the 1-4 o clock crank position fuh quads on fire sial 😂. But after awhile got used to it. On flats smooth pedaling cos less dead spots. Probably won't go back to round cranks. Also cos my spare chainring is anodized red qrings, once current one worn out gonna change to that, handsome.

In terms of shifting, I had some fd rub at extreme cross chain angles on my old bike. Got hit by a car early this year, changed bike, now new frame better shifting and less fd rubbing. Probably due to chainstay length difference between the 2 bikes, longer chainstay chain angle not as extreme. Summary, if wanna go for oval, try la. But give time to adapt, and maybe need to play around. Another friend can't use qring at #3 position, prefers #4 or 5 position.

i went to a shop, the owner also told me to start with #3 position but in order to change to other position i need to use the designated rotor crank~ my R8000 crank has no adjustability~
the rubbing issue also is my concern, not sure my TCR suitable or not... still considering about it as the cost not cheap. haha~ anyway, thx for your advise~

Giro brought in by bmc, but cyclist wardrobe also selling. Bmc got discounts, I think synthe and aether 5-25% off. Vanquish also handsome if you malas buy sunglasses, use the visor. Sworks evade ii nice also. Hjc furion also aero and very light. Got the utopia, mahal but very breathable for aero helmet. But it doesn't have eyebrow pads, so sweat can go down into your eyes. But no regrets, and I don't sweat that much, mostly doing z2 rides haha

i like Giro helmet but the shape mostly oval, not suitable me~ same goes to ABUS~
so far the most comfortable helmet i can wear is specialized, just bought a s-works prevail 2, model is abit old but suits me well~
