Biopace warning, Biopace warning!!!!!!!!!!!
bought my touring bike in 90 or 91, it had Biopace---changed them out to round ones after having knee problems. Lets put it this way, there were many other people who had knee problems, and over time it was fazed out. I could not get rid of mine fast enough and even went to the point of throwing them out so that they would not get used on another bike, thats how much I saw them as a problem.
Do some searches on here and you will probably find more detailed accounts, mine included.
I had to put this stuff down as I really disagree with comments that it is ok. There is a "herky-jerkiness" that happens to your knees at faster cadences, and it aint good for your knees.
(my knees are crying out to you, "throw them away, throw them away!"
Are there any scientific studies that supports this claim?
' not doubting ones experience, I really just want a more convincing proof.
I happen to like my bikes with Biopace and I never had any pain issues in my knees while ridding them. But then, I don't ride fast either.
Oh, sorry for the thread jack.
