I'm not particularly up to speed on the aesthetics of all the various models of cranks, but that one just plain works, for my eyeballs at least. <BR/><BR/>Is it true that the three loops in a RH 'ring are designed to allow for the removal of the rings without removal of the right-hand pedal?Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09016373487910801383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-1172003169313152302007-02-20T15:26:00.000-05:002007-02-20T15:26:00.000-05:00While I don't necessarily share your love of Herse...While I don't necessarily share your love of Herse rings, I hate to see any of the small speciality companies slip away.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-1171995111730178962007-02-20T13:11:00.000-05:002007-02-20T13:11:00.000-05:00Buy the machinery and start making VO CT rings.Buy the machinery and start making VO CT rings.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-1171992807522233602007-02-20T12:33:00.000-05:002007-02-20T12:33:00.000-05:00Chris,Have you given any thought to approaching Pa...Chris,<BR/><BR/>Have you given any thought to approaching Paul's Components about making a modern version of the TA Cyclo-tourist?
