Changing gears using the stock Omnium bolts is a pain in the butt. Plus knurled chainring bolts don't work on them either. Only superglue.
OK thanks. That means people arent using Omniums because their quality and handling just isnt that great compared to the top notch track cranksets like dura ace, etc.?
But, just concerning stiffness, they are as good as Dura Ace FC-7710, Suginos, if not better? .. with the external bearing bottom bracket .. .. Or did I misread this?
And also, just googled the Rotor 3D track cranks, and, holy smokes they are more expensive than Dura Ace, even more expensive than the Campy Record Track crankset? Whats their deal?
