Re: R4pha500

But each to their own Peak Torque has a theory that the slight tilt down was to put him a better position for the long climbs as it reduced pressure on the front of the saddle. Hand pressure would be different as they have a very low front anyway Copying TD...

I'd be surprised, I'm going to be doing it my way, the "haven't a clue" way, I wouldn't be surprised if we end up being a long line of 80 Boners doing exactly the same route.
