Are there any pros using this setup?
Weary is the path that does not challenge.

Bobby Julich and some of the guys that rode with him for CSC used elliptical rings for a while...check out rotorcranks.com/athletes.shtml for their athlete lineup

I just read that Sastre used them at this year's tour as well. The website proclaims other triathletes such as Luke Bell and Llanos. I'd like to confirm that by looking at their bike setup though.

Llanos bike is here, and is, indeed running Q-rings (though the photo isn't very good).
Sastre's crankset for 2008 with rotor here.
Bell was riding a standard Dura Ace TT ring this year.
So I am thinking about buying a set of Rotor Q-rings for my P2C. I am currently running a FSA SLK-light crank 52/39. I have read some very convincing literature about the q-rings and how they allow you to have a quicker leg turnover due to their ellipital shape and how at top center (dead-spot), you are actually turning over a smaller tooth count, than normal (i.e. instead of 53 teeth at the deadspot, you are turning 50-51 teeth).
With this they proclaim an increase in generated power as well.
So has anyone had exerience with these rings or currently use them??? Input would be greatly appreciated before I drop such a pretty penney on rings when I currently have a nice set.
