I've tried them on a friends bike and it felt really good.

I imagine that because they are "skinny" on one axis, the minimum size in terms of teeth is larger for any given BCD than for a round chainring. Of course, if they allow you to push bigger gears, the comparison by teeth alone might not be valid.
But for me, the extreme ugliness disqualifies them from further consideration, regardless of functional improvements. I would hate my bike if I put these on.

instead of words just post a photo of your bike "heavy carthorse machine" in every thread with the words perfect.
To the OP ....go for it.

Understated, very stealthy, yet quality throughout.
Is the Seat Post "3T" as well?
Do you mind if I offer you some excellent free advice?

Yeah, I know, right? I'd be minutes faster with my spares dragging my jersey pockets down over my ass. And I love fishing for gels amongst tubes and tyre levers. I'll take it straight off on your advice.
