TMN to winjim :smile:
I'll take that, but my post already has thirteen likes so I'm not bitter ;)

And to be fair, I didn't explain that it was Boardman who said it, but only because I was waiting for someone to call BS on me :evil:. Although it was frame designer Mike Burrows who suggested the two offset strips thing.

Yes, and on the shoulders and a few other places, still arguably negligible difference though.
According to Chris Boardman, a thin strip of hair should be left on the front of the shin for optimal aero advantage (thereby creating turbulant flow and less of a wake behind the leg)...never seen anyone attempt this though...

what is a TMN?... :dry:.. Besides you? :scratch:

It's an in forum joke, if two people post the same or very similar content and the second one gets more likes it is called a TMN after User13710 who experienced this often.

I wasn't a member when it originated, but some of the older members should be able to give you more background on the matter.

It felt vaguely kinky the first time I did it a year ago - now it's become rather addictive. :blink:

I have done before , well I kept smooth after a knee op for a while. its a strange look when you're hairy above the waist too and whole body depilation would be far to onerous a task. Waxing would probably see me bleed to death
