Thats what they want you to think, apparently it makes you ride like a out of control lunatic that doesnt crash. In all seriousness, i guess i can see it, seems like a stretch, but what do i knowStops your shorts getting caught when you're doing sick whips.... apparently....

I think you are right! UCI should do something for the safety of the riders and issue a clothing rule that ONLY allows skinsuits from now on!Fear of spandex leads to drastic measures.
Yup - 4" of metal rod in my forearm and 8 screws (6 + 2 holding my wrist together) from a simple horts on shifter incident.I need something to stop my shorts from getting caught on my shifter. I went completely over the bars and ate Sh!t at the US Open when I stood up to sprint and snagged my shorts on the trigger.
Exactly. I'd love to see him on a proper DH bike soon. Too much talent to be battling against that piece of ****.man. too bad his bike has such a steep headangle. imagine how much faster he would be on a bike with the proper geo.
And imagine how much longer it would be if 1 of us mortals rode it?Never realized how long the Fort Bill track is.
very true, but I would love to. Danny is fast but I would love to see a helmet cam from Peaty, Hill, Gee or MinnarAnd imagine how much longer it would be if 1 of us mortals rode it?

I saw the Minnaar helmet cam on the same track. Maybe he saves it for the race run. Or he is much smoother. But not as entertaining as Hart's cam, who seems to be much faster and on the edge.Not that i disagree, but didnt hart get 5th this year? I would imagine he is 1 of the faster guys on that course
Some people around here use electrical tape for the shifter paddle to the bars. I have had some close calls with the shifter in the shorts on a whip 2 times. The worst is a handle bar getting stuck in a T-shirt or jacket when tabling and you can't get the bike upright again.I need something to stop my shorts from getting caught on my shifter.

this expression has always been curious to me. What would that mean about the women who ride it? that they're more man than us?That's a man's course.

If i'm not mistaken, Peaty and Rennie back in 2007 Worlds, FT. William had a similar set-up. Except they used a Tube instead of the duct tape.
I kept thinking to myself, is is really that big of an issue? I've never caught my shorts on my shifter. Thanks for reminding me of one more reason I love my gripshift.And people make fun of me for running grip shift on my dh bike.
