How is Obree forgotten? There was a movie about him made only a couple of years ago and he's still racing and he's a fucking legend.

sorry i should have made that clearerI think neither the 'tuck' position nor the 'Superman' position are strictly forgotten just because the UCI has outlawed them. People know that you can go faster when using them, and that means they'll always be present in time triallists' minds. :)

My BMX was a iron horse and the mags had 5mm thick metal spokes (or something) running through the inside of each plastic spoke. Cant imagine simple coldness fixing them. Although you would have needed to drop them off a 10 storey building to bend them.

detto and duegi made some similar, they were the best shoes ever. so rigid. a hebay seller in bulgaria has some very similar but only small sizes
