What gives?

Aerodynamic’s what?

😉

Al, it’s about marginal gains. Better aerodynamic’s (sic) mean less effort. Less effort means more power left when needed, such as for a full blown sprint.

keeps your head warm…would be good for winter

Jeez. Any wattage figures?

4 or 5 watts at like 25-30mph I think.

Wow. You’d think they’d make them proper aero.

Aerodynamic’s what?

Aerodynamic’s innit, innit? You do know what an innit is, don’t you?

I thought Cav had a different solution for this.

For me all sense of style left Pro road racing when they were forced to wear helmets.

all the riders wearing ugly helmets is one of the reasons I find it hard to stay interested these days.

shallow I know 8)

Well it’s like wearing lycra with chamy inside to ride real bikes. You can wear something more appropriate, but some people think they need them.

I think he was probably referring to the apostrophe usage.

GW…you like watching the pretty boys but only without helmets?

Thanks. 😆

yes, Al, well done for understanding English. Now, seeing as you’re so good at it, could you be so kind as to make sense of Juan’s post for me?

I think the inference is that unpadded baggies are more appropriate for MTB riding than padded Lycra, yet some feel the need for padded shorts. Slightly odd considering he thinks the only MTB race worth mentioning is the Transvesubienne, which I imagine padded shorts are rather handy. 🙄

Gary, more fun focussing on your predilection for handsome men.

Cheers Njee, (I rarely have a clue what Juan’s point is)

Al, Why would I want to look at ugly ones?

Cheers Njee, (I rarely have a clue what Juan’s point is)

That is because contrary to you I just don’t go on about how awesome I am.

Njee, before you knock it off, you’ll try it first, if you can actually go down the first descent though 😉

Oh.. you do, you’re just not very. 😉

WTF does your last sentence mean? 😕
