pauls stuff is the *****. i have his track hubs, neo-retros, love lever/motolite-v combo, and his WORD hubset. it is all the bomb. i would choose motolite v's with the love levers over hydraulic discs any day of the week. if he releases these cranks, i will buy them withoot a doot. maybe ill call him from my shop and see if i can give em a try, boy would that be sweet!

I know this is a little old but I have a buddy with this crank and the chainring is definatley bolted to an extra-small spider. Check this out:

So one could change chainrings. These are not really "a proprietary chainring/crank" as someone called them.

It depends on the BCD. Proprietary BCD = hard to find chainrings.

chris bike biz had a set last time I was there hwever the chainline is 44mm but it is no problem if you use pauls hubs as well
