Count us as another team that rides OOP. We tried it about a year and a half ago and have not returned to IP. We love the increase in average speed (about 5%) and the smoothing out of the hills. Our choice is for the captain to lead by almost 90 degrees (my stoker/wife does read this forum so I'd better not refer to her being 90 degrees ********). We can both stand together to power up hills and cornering is not a problem.
