If anyone is still using saddles in 2021 they need to HTFU and take a cue from our Lego minifig friends. Just remember to continuously squeeze the flat section of your top bar between your thighs and you'll be fine.

Behold!

Well, that's at least three threads on here, but this is probably the right one to point out all the features of the proposal which won't make it to production

Behold the “Concept 1865” e-Velocipede:

love the vid!
how did he get to the backcountry?
how did the scientist get there?
how do they all manage a straight face?

I hadn’t watched the video
until after you mentioned it; thanks, it is excellent, but as you point out, it raises a lot of questions…

I think BASF need to put the carbon down and stick to making video tapes.

Weren't they also involved with genocide?

Yes

This is the one we've all been waiting for.

FALLING IN LOVE WITH BAREFOOT MOVEMENT DOING LABOR TRADE ON AN ORGANIC RAINFOREST FARM, INSPIRED A PARADIGM SHIFT AND STARTED A JOURNEY.

amazing...

From their Instagram:

When you quite literally Experienced the Timeline of heaven on earth and know your mission and life purpose is to create that which will build the army of our cosmically liberated future. Failure was never even an option. We shall never fall!

I'm going to chalk this one up as for worse.

It will take about two weeks of use for the skin in-between the toes to be strengthened and to acclimate to the pedals.
Compatible footwear is recommended to help the process.
We at Toe Go Pedals regard this as true that “Everything is difficult until it is easy.”

I've had friends lose parts of fingers in fixed drivechains, now with the opportunity to lose parts of toes!

quite literally Experienced the Timeline of heaven on earth and know your mission and life purpose is to create that which will build the army of our cosmically liberated future.

Fair enough - If I'd experienced such an epiphany I'd probably decide to begin my cosmic liberation crusade by working out a way to cycle with just my toes
makes perfect sense

Those toe go pedals look great. Who cares about the shift toward more mid foot cleat positions we all need more stress going through our metatarsals.

All the haters can literally shove them up their arse.

at last

They've been pitching that bullshit for at least a decade.

Is the idea that at 44.9T you just have a really shallow 'U' and at 44.1T it's deeper? They should put their heads together with Spreng Reng, then they could have an even catchier brand / product name.

Yeah this has been going on in bmx racing for a while

Is the idea that at 44.9T you just have a really shallow 'U' and at 44.1T it's deeper?

No, the idea is that you can take money from people who don't understand mechanics. PMP did OK for a while with L-shaped cranks, Rennen are doing exactly the same thing.
