Tony, there's a better way! Velcro. Sew the hooks to your shorts and glue the loops to your saddle. End of ripped shorts. (Of course, you need to be careful where you sit after the race!)

I'm gonna guess that using Velcro would violate some rule of the UCI....likely creating some kind of mechanical advantage since it affixes the rider into a certain location.

Just say "NO!" to WCP!!!!

Probably. My suggestion got about as much deep thought as it took to type. (More thought went into the visions of interesting things sticking to Tony Martin's hooks.)

Yup, its to circumvent UCI rule but it renders his shorts "single use". That's committment for you.

The aero thing has clearly jumped the shark. A funky TT lid or horrid-looking downtube is one thing but risking one's manhood ala Pantani off the back of the bike or sandpapering your nads to death…. that's just wrong

Pile up all the money and glory in the world and ask me to take a belt sander to my shorts while I'm in 'em? Not happening
