this whole thread is ridiculous..my number fits perfectly on my medium sized jersey, right where
its supposed to be. the numbers are fine, OBRA is all good, now go ride your bike.
if you have a difficult time pinning a jersey, ask an official to do it before the race...ask your mom to
do it when she visits...anything...
just my $0.02 as my inbox is filling with pointless banter...

After living and racing in Washington for several years and using paper
numbers it sure is a nice change to have the fabric, of any size.
We just dont know how good this OBRA is to us. =)

Ps: I don't know if WSBA has changed to the fabric.
