They 'feel' best when applying smooth, relatively high, power. But they seem to perform best when out of the saddle and pumping the pedals.
Osymmetrics and Q-rings feel totally different too. Q-rings feel a little bit odd for quite some time. Then you dont notice them. Osymmetric feel very odd for 15mins then you get used to them. Q-rings make it seasier to push through the dead spots, while Osymmetrics seem to simply accelerate you past it.
I have terrible climbing ability, and am rubbish at getting the power in my legs to the tarmac in a sprint. So my fondness of using the Osymmetrics this year, has very little to do with why a pro may use them (well its mainly curiousity). But these area are definitely where (I think) I feel the benefit.
