    Front experience I can say it's the kind of thing that makes wonder if you've not wasted your hard earned cash on.... until you get to a big descent and your mates all stop and undo their seat clamps.. then all of a sudden it makes sense

    I worry about you sometimes, I really do.

    You think I'm bad? Look at my last post on the WTF thread. Seeing stuff like that reassures me I'm not THAT bad...

    Well its all fully installed (on the bike) had a quick test in the kitchen and i'm pretty impressed :)

    The side to side wobble is noticeable when off the bike but when sat on it its hardly there.
    Theres also a lot of adjustability for the saddle position which I love. Something I didn't really think about!
    I haven't put an inner tube around it for now, I have a feeling that it may do more harm than good if grit gets behind it and I don't mind having to service it.

    Getting the cable routing right was a bit of a mare though.. took me a few attempts to get it around the linkages nicely.

    might wear a cup for the 1st few rides.... i'm sooooo gonna smack my nuts.

    You owe me 7 minutes and 42 seconds of my life back. That was just strange. You, on the other hand, are worrying :?

    :lol: I'm guessing you think it's a sex aid too or something? ;)
    It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.
