This was in interesting group. It's hard to wrap your brain around what Shimano did with the chainrings though. If I'm reading this review right, it's TA compatible on the outside, 130 bcd on the middle, and something completely different on the inside since it is not compatible with 86 bcd/Stronglight 99. Even by Shimano's standards of "innovation," this is one weird crank. And let's not start on the pedals.
