This is a good start Specialized Bar tape. Beach cruiser maybe?
Uh, I for one think this is a great idea. I may try some to alleviate the tingling that starts in my hands around the 5 hour mark.nino said:i always have to laugh when i see some new gimmick from the Specialized Body Geometry guys....so far everything they promote under that label is pure BS!

Despite the fact that you aren't where he lives and don't know his set-up or the evidence leading to the "unreliable" statement, you have a bigger mouth and, clearly, must be correct.nino said:why should Stans or Eclipse be unreliable?
if you try ultralight tires you are right but those would also flat using tubes, right?
so if you have appropriate thus heavier tires with sealant they will survive as good as any other system.
don't blame the systems - it's your tire choice that was unreliable not the tubelesskits themselves.
there are 1000 ways to make for better comfort already in existence. you don't need any new "fancy" BG parts.
daaaannng! That's half a pound.... for bar tape!Topaz said:This is a good start Specialized Bar tape. Beach cruiser maybe?

Unreliable may have been a bad word choice. Lets try inappropriate. Even with a 650g XC-trail tire cuts are not uncommon. In this case, all the latex gives you is a big mess. For my conditions, homebrew tubeless sucks. End of discussion. That doesn't mean it won't work for you. My original point about the bar tape: don't be so quick to judge the utility of a product based on what seems from your other posts (ie comparing a Turner Nitrous to some euro frame based on its gold color) to be a very narrow range of experience.nino said:why should Stans or Eclipse be unreliable?

Sure there's a lot of useless products out there, but many of the BG label parts/accessoires have quite some research behind them. Take the shoes for example. The mid-sole/in-sole construction rotates your foot laterally, supposedly helping people with inward-turned knees and the resulting pain. I suffered from this - but opted for a $100 pair of custom soles and a trip to the doctor instead.nino said:....so far everything they promote under that label is pure BS!...
I totally agree eric. BG shoes work great with my feet. I have a friend fisioterapeuthic and he told me. But I´m sure those shoes are a blame for other people. Just thing on the thick sole, it increases height form the pedal axel agout 5 or 6 mm. I had to put the seatpost a few mm. higher. This is definitely not good for a racing shoes and is even worse for people who don´t have this problem on their feet.eric said:Sure there's a lot of useless products out there, but many of the BG label parts/accessoires have quite some research behind them.

Many BG 'solutions' certainly work, but they're not for everybody. It's kind of in the line of "If it ain't broke, why fix it?". Many BG parts are designed to solve a specific problem. If you don't suffer from that problem, I don't think there's a point. Better yet, in some cases (i.e. the shoes) if you don't suffer from inward-turned knees, the shoes may actually CAUSE pain. So that said, maybe Special Ed should market these products as such, and not as a universal solution.
However, that still doesn't render them pure BS.
