  1. I'm one of the creators of the system, so I thought I'd jump in and answer a few of the questions that have cropped up. Glad you guys are interested! Feel free to let me know if you have any other questions and I'll do my best to answer them (keep in mind that I'm in the US, so probably won't be very responsive during your daytime . @Capricorn - You hit the nail on the head. The system isn't intended to replace a properly fitted TT bike because you can't really replicate the same position that you can achieve on a low-stack TT setup. Instead, it's designed to let people ride a better (not necessarily perfect) aero position on their road bikes, without spending a ton of money, and without sacrificing their normal road setup. If you have measured road and TT fit dimensions, you most likely will not be able to replicate both positions exactly. You'd have to choose one to match exactly (probably the road position), and then accept that the other position (probably the aero position) may be slightly different than you ideal TT setup. The aerobars are essentially the same weight as other aluminum clip-on aerobars, at around 500g for the set. The seatpost is around 300g, which is heavier than a good regular Alu seatpost, but we think the aero benefits and the more efficient riding position afforded by the seatpost far outweigh the increased weight. @gummibear - thanks for starting this thread! We designed the seatpost so that the BB to saddle dimension stays constant in both positions. Our testing showed that this was the best position for the widest range of different riders. As a result, the seat moves up slightly as it moves forward. @Capricorn - see my response to Gummibear above. Thanks guys - love to see that our idea has made it all the way across the globe!
