Just a point that the ramps/pins are a function of the chainrings, not the
crank.

With friction/manual shifting, little to none.

I'm running a 38/48 on the Hilsen right now with unpinned (pinless?) rings
on the Sugino , and don't notice a spec o' difference versus the same sized
ones which were on my Ritchey crankset.

bone-machine, grown Lexan-armored tires, near-frictionless bearings, and gas
filled shocks."
