We are offering a limited run of TG’s side-by-side double BTS setup with Carbon Fiber sheet, on pre-order only.
The pictures below are of the original (hand made) version. In this run the CF plates will be CNC routed for a more precise cut and finish.
Benefits:
Low profile = easy to swing the leg over the saddle when mounting the bike in T1
Simple, rigid solution. The CF plates simply rests solidly on the Wove saddle’s tail
Premium feel: the CF plate complements well the finish of the Wove saddle shell
Very lightweight; My original version weights in at 99g including all the hardware except the cages, using titanium screws.
*Note: this is indicative only, the production version will be slightly heavier (the CF plate is slightly larger)
Transition Rack Hook: Simple, stable and efficient way to rack your bike in transition.
The bracket under the saddle used to secure the plate mounting screws acts as a hook for the transition rack. This solves the typical issue of not being able to slide the bike under the rack when bottles are mounted above the saddle, due to space. Tilting the bike to get through is not possible in tight transitions.
With the hook, the bike simply sits on top of the rack behind the saddle.
In T1, simply lift slightly and pull forward to get the bike out.
Easy to handle bottles (much easier than handling a bottle in a cage under the saddle!)
Economical.
Limitations:
- The fore-aft adjustment is very limited. The kit puts the cages right behind the seat padding. Minimal adjustments with the cage slots. The new CF plate will have a bit of give with slotted holes as well.
- The angle of the bottle will match the tail of the saddle – but with a reasonable saddle tilt, the angle is good for aerodynamics.
