That is way complicated and way stupid.

Mabra is getting that rig and will have it in use at the Church Creek TT in June. It's not mandatory, but is there for those whe want to make sure thier bikes are UCI legal for Nationals.

Really, how would you do it better?

The jig wasn't the object of my post; rather, the UCI regulations and "morphological exceptions".

Unfortunately, every sport has to have some rules to follow. Personally, I feel this is a huge improvement in the sport. There is now a definitive way to measure a bike; No more "eye-balling" it or variation between different officials.... i.e., is the max aerobar distance the end, front or middle of the shifter....

At least the rules are set and with this jig, easy to follow.

I (hope.....) to have my bike legal before the Masters Natz :)

The jig is great; the rules/regulations, in my opinion, are stupid.
