I've noticed a lot of the riders have these tags on the back of the saddle. Are they something to do with the car radio connection?

    They used to be tied onto the stays, but kept getting fired into the weeds, when they inevitably hit the spokes, so now they’re on the seat.

    As with the vast majority of his posts, mile muncher is talking rubbish.

    The thing sticking out the saddle is a Dimension Data transmitter (yip that’s what Cav’s team’s main sponsor do) which provides real time information to broadcasters should they want to use it.

    You know nothing, there’s a surprise. Just to educate you ( I know you can’t educate pork, but hey ) it does everything the little deelies attached to the stays used to do.

    More nonsense from the king of drivel. Real time rider data (which is what the black sticks do) has only been available since 2015. Anything used before that was basically just a dumb transponder.

    Why are you still on this forum? You contribute nothing, you don’t even ride, as far as I can tell, what is the purpose of your existence here? If you can comprehend anything ( I doubt it ) you’ll see that I’ve said that the stick replaces the function of the ‘dumb transponder’ which it does. You’ve just hoisted yourself with your own petard, yet again. Jog on, go and post on ‘mumsnet’ there’s a good girl.

    Good question... :lol: Although to be fair, a dumb transponder doesn't have as many meltdowns...

    I see the narcissistic personality is still going strong. You get slighted and you have to wound someone. It must be hell in your house, you and your mum.

    For the purposes of this discussion, does being right or wrong matter in any way?
