Engineer Corner - "Elliptical Chainrings" (June 14, 2016 #717)

June 14, 2016 Engineer Corner Show Page ABOUT THIS EPISODE: This episode is brought to you by iSSi Pedals Phil and Ben discuss elliptical chainrings. Over the last few years, another generation of elliptical/ovalized chainrings has emerged. Many people are still turned off by the poor design of the Biopace chainrings of the 1980's-90's. The designs have been redesigned and refined with current technology to maximize the mechanical advantage in many situations. With more riders going to one front chainring set ups, we may see more riders switching over to elliptical chainring options. Listen in as Phil gives his engineering thoughts about elliptical chainrings and discussing power, torque, traction, mechanical advantage, and more.
