Those White VBC's have been on my radar for quite some time, also. My
big hangups about those include fear about the flexiness of a
chainring with no spider supporting it, and fear of being completely
out of luck down the line with a proprietary chainring format on the
big ring.

Not as far as chains are concerned, though: the chain you buy today as a

Now they call it 6-7-8 speed.

I agree completely. No 172.5 makes it a non-starter for me, otherwise
I would be very interested in a pair. I respect Chris for what he's
doing for the Riv/VO/etc. aspect of the industry, but there are times
when he's wrong, and his stance on 172.5's is one of those times.

Works for me... I prefer the 175's. I feel like I climb better with a
longer crankarm. I'm a little concerned about Q factor though. I
prefer something a little wider.
