• yes/no?

    That does seem to be where a lot of well tested people end up.

    Totalcycling have USE in stock in 20°,30° and 50° in metal and all the angles in crabon, so I'm guessing you're looking for 40° alloy :-)

    Evans have 3T alloy shorts. I'm using carbon shorts and they are long enough to be 3cm illegal if I run them all the way forward and plenty tall enough on the Ventus. IIRC, the non-short version is the same overall length but is taller to cope with tribars which have more stack between the extension clamp and the pads.
