Do any of you use it?
I like the idea; I am concerned with durability. I think it addresses a problem inherent to profile cranks, but I do not like the idea that the splines have to withstand driving force. I would like to use the Tree spline sprocket in conjunction with a drive bolt for increased durability. If there is any type of impact to a conventional sprocket, the Profile spindle splines (and all the clones of Profile cranks) press into the bushing or ring and the sprocket hole ovalizes. This causes loose/tight spots in the chain and is the primary source of that dreaded Profile creakiness. I guess I am just wondering how well the spline drive holds up to chainring bashing. The consequences for an ovalized spindle hole when it shares the drive duties could be nasty if the spline drive gives out while I am applying torque to the pedals. O.T.B...no thank you...
