Very premium look. And the feel is awesome. I absolutely love them.
Personally I feel they make the pedal stroke rounder and smoother. And the 48 teeth has made a big difference to the roads I ride from my 52 chainring. Hold a higher cadence at higher speeds really helps to keep that momentum up rolling terrain or lower gradients at speed.
Next is taking on steeper climbs and there are plenty of climbs with short 16-20% sections coming up. Looking forward to seeing an overall higher cadence with the 32 inner chainring.
Also the changeover between the two has less jumps, so I have smoother transition too. Basically giving me a good range of ratios but plenty of middle gears to choose from too, am further helping me to maintain the cadence.
Still learning my favourite combinations and just doing by feel for now. But once I get electronic gears and am able to see which gears I am in on the head unit, should be able to save even more energy.
