I should find the thread because the inventor added video. The reasoning is something like having those two prongs jamming into your crotch prevents you from sliding forward off the saddle, making maintaining an aero position easier.krebs303 said:thumbs up GTF. That saddle will perfect for my SoftRide. Are those wingy things supposed to keep you from cracking your walnuts?
Wow! This thread is always good for a laugh.BroDeal said:I should find the thread because the inventor added video. The reasoning is something like having those two prongs jamming into your crotch prevents you from sliding forward off the saddle, making maintaining an aero position easier.
Is sliding forward on the saddle really a serious problem...on second thought, these are triathletes, so it probably is a serious problem for them.BroDeal said:I should find the thread because the inventor added video.

In American Gran Fondos are just renamed centuries. In Italy they are a science experiment.GPdesAmeriques said:I though Gran Fondos were the new golf. How do you close multi-million dollar deals in an Ironman transition zone?![]()

I was riding the Tourmalet (West side) last year and there was a guy riding a TT bike up it!42x16ss said:I had a good laugh on the Sunday morning when I went up Mt Nebo to the north of Brisbane. About a third of the way up I passed a good size (20-25) group of triathletes, most with aerobars and deep dish wheels on. The clincher was 3-4 people up there on their TT bikes. One guy was on a Merida Warp with Dura Ace C50's, Aero helmet trying to climb an 8%+ section in the aerobars.
I have seen someone bring a bike into a store, to have the rental race wheels removed, and the training wheels 'installed'.
At a WTC half ironman event, I saw two completitors stop, and ask if we had a spare tire (this was a run handup station). One of the two did not even know how to remove his rear wheel.
I marvel at the courage it takes to train for, and attempt a half ironman while not knowing how to take a wheel off...lol
and he didn't write it as "courage" with any irony? I'm glad guys that usually compare penile dimension alongside golf scores are more likely to gravitate to Tri-dickery than bike racing so I don't have to witness such measurements. They truly have a full sack o' courage!BroDeal said:Another gem from Slowtwitch.
don't buy used dry suits at their garage sales, for sure.kuoirad said:Didn't seem like much of an argument - seemed like 90/10 of "sure, it's fine!"
