I'm a little overweight (spare tire) and as such, the aggressive position they put me in was quite uncomfortable after only a few minutes. About the only thing I did like about them was the enhanced acceleration I got while in the drops. Other than that, for me at least, they're a track-only component.
Anyway, thoughts? Anyone prefer them for street use?
I agree, why would I want to get used to them? Im sure I can get used to a thorn in my foot, but why would I want to do that?
they're fun for a bit, but in the end they suck for the street.
