After almost a year of trying to figure it out I have made the decision on which system is the best. The winner is...
Rotorcranks
I believe Rotorcranks do as advertised. Frank Day makes a quality product that allows you to train your body to move the cranks with even force through out all 360 degrees. I couldn't say they didn't work so I had to find another way to make the decision.
I thought about what I was looking for in a crank. I wanted it to allow me the best use of my energy. Power cranks where in the lead because I thought the training of the muscles and mind to get a perfect circular was the only way. Then Vitus 979 brought up the question of why perfect circles. The point that we evolved as a walking animal and our legs are used for pushing. I reread the Rotorcrank information and realized the reason I was leaning toward Powercranks was the idea that Rotorcranks where somehow "less pure" do the fact they used a mechanical element to assist the movement of the leg through the dead spot.
What I realized was is that cycling is a mechanical sport. The modifying of a crank to help minimize the dead spot went hand and hand with the sport. Also Powercranks have a steep learning curve that Rotorcranks don't have. With Rotorcranks you just slap them on and in a few rides you have it down. Powercranks train and exhaust small muscles to do a job that they didn't evolve to do. So you have sometime where you have to ride for very short periods and rest. I just want to ride.
I think Powercranks are a great buy if you want the training advantage you get for the run. I really see how they will help those of us who Pose (trademark).
I just want to ride.
This is not a troll do to the fact once I comment on something the logic is so crystal clear and airtight there can't be an argument.
