I didn't care to mess with 3M spray glue on my first ever USAC race in addition to the required pins. So found myself pinning a paper # to a freaking skinsuit.

How much would a stretchy armband with a printed # be? Use letters instead of #'s and for a field of even hundreds you only need two freaking letters.

Way behind the times here when the TdF champs are gluing and using freaking pins on TT stages. At the TdF. Yup, $1000 skinsuit and $15k in bike and wheels and a tuned TT setup........just to pin numbers.

To an outsider who only started riding a bike 2 years ago and racing this year, it's totally laughable.

The non-USAC TT series? I'll totally be ONLY 3M'ing my numbers.
