Your cog is slipping.
You can't use a Kilo TT as a crank. You'll need an SST-AL (size 54 or bigger) for that.

are you using it for competitive needs? if so then I suggest you post this in the track forum, if not then you are wasting a huge sum just for looks wich is crazy.

The cranks in your photo only come on the $12,000 LOOK L96.
Before those cranks, the French National Team was using Sugino 75s and Grand Mightys.
If Sugino 75s are good enough for a 7-time World Champion sprinter, they are enough for you.
Same goes for Dura Ace.

yes Sugino 75 is on my list but i thought maybe there is other options
Use what people who are faster than you are using.

Whoa. Now I feel much cooler with my 75's. I can say it's what champions use (or used in the past).

It may be more of a "We should all use the same equipment" thing as a team. It makes maintenance and keeping spares easy for the mechanics.
Oh, and...you can't run anything but a 53t chainring on that crank. Being able to change chainrings is sort of a big deal on the track.
