Does anyone here use one? Would it work? Is there anything MTB specific that I have not thought of?
I wouldn't get so hooked on the "look" that you create an uncomfortable ride- what is it you really want to accomplish? Are you a track racer who need to be aerodynamic for a few minutes at time? Or are you an urban rider who spends long hours tooling around town? Then again, -15 deg isn't much...
