Not sure whether to be chuffed or gutted. I've been 'happy' with Romins and have them on all my bikes. I say happy, because they brought a comfort greater than I'd ever found before and I could finish a 7 hour ride without numbness. But although there wasn't numbess, things weren't entirely right down there.
Which is why I ended up eying up the SLR Superflow. Finally found one cheap on BR and although I haven't yet tried it on the road, after some turbo time, I'm sold. As good as the Romin was on the road, 15 minutes on rollers and to a lesser extent the turbo, I would be completely numb. With the Superflow, I can do a two hour turbo session and have literally no ill effects whatsoever to my gooch! Can't wait until Sunday when I'll be able to give it a proper road test.
Trouble is they're stupidly expensive and the one I got is the only time I've ever seen one come up second hand, and I now need another black one and a couple of white ones. Still...what's money when it comes to the well being of your man-parts?
