I've seen most people pin them on the pocket, but they don't look very flat, like it could mess up their slipstream a little, and it looks like it would be a lot harder to access the pockets.
I'm thinking about taking a pair of scissors with me to races, and cutting off the excess real estate around the numbers/sponsors/etc, so that I can easily fit my numbers on my back. Will I get in trouble for that?
Also, anyone tried using racedots, and the like? they seem like a nice concept, but no way in hell I'm paying $50 and change for some stupid frig magnets. I also question whether they'll be secure enough.
Do not cut the numbers. That makes it a pain for those scoring and is often called out (esp in stage races). We all deal with the same numbers.
Race dots suck.
Use super77 adhesive spray instead of pins.
Done.
