Hehee. Right on! Glad y'all are thinking about it because I believe this jacket bridge has potential to be implemented in some way on just about every saddle in the future. Where there's a will and a spark, there's a way.
1. It doesn't negate a thigh loop when climbing 2TC. Sidebar (since it's my thread
)... there seems to be two camps when discussing the 2TC thigh loop. Camp A thinks there's great benefit in using it and camp B thinks it's completely unnecessary. I think both can be effective and it depends on the climber and what they are trying to accomplish. I fall into camp A because I don't use my saddle at all when climbing. It is only there for life support.
2. 24" probably isn't universal. I had to play around with it a bit to get the length of the runner correct. The runner for my Transformer is 28".
3. Need to take some pictures in a bit. Probably going to do a video on it also.
