I turned my saddle round to face backwards. I was sure that the manufactures had got it wrong for about 200 years.
A guy down the pub told me to do it and that he was a bum expert. Sure enough I have not ever had a burnt, chatty or misshaped ar$e since!

Have you not tried the reverse front forks yet, apparently one of Halfrauds little tricks.

That's weird because I've had my discs on the right way for 6 years and they haven't worn, distorted or got burnt, despite going down massive hills regularly and carrying my bulk, plus shopping to.

Hmmm! You got it from an engineer who works with metals under high temperatures? Now it all makes sense why you say what you do. In case you didn't know, heat rises. You're supposed to put your frying pan over the heat when you do your fried eggs, not under it.
Logic is obviously not your strong point, if you actually consider that to be "proof".....and how you can mix disk brakes up with frying eggs, gives even less credence to your flat earth theories on disk brakes IMHO!
Let me gently remind you, that to prove something, as in this case, you actually need to reverse a disk and show how it is incorrect and causes damage or similar, over months or years!
But nobody at all has risen to the (very minor) challenge.....
By the way, it does not cause damage.
I actually know,and I am still testing them, 3 years on! So I REALLY know it doesn't!
You feel maybe that it does something bad to the disks (or your eggs?), is that possibly your standpoint?
Can you explain that in more detail please? But leave out the eggs this time....I seriously doubt if one affects the other as you apparently believe...

I've had some bike seats that seriously hurt the nether regions and would possibly be less painful turned backwards.

It's a shame everyone is out of step with Andy.
I once had a bike for Andy, a home made steer it one way go the other, made from a Raleigh Grifter with an extra headstock and a couple of gears from a seat belt mechanism. Took me about 2 hours to learn to ride it. Got back on my normal bike and fell off!

Can we post YouTube links on here? Thinking of the B side to the Ying Tong Song, I'm Walking Backwards for Christmas.
