"To waffle?" Been so long since I have heard or read that term, I had to look it up...and as I always recommend, I found the appropriate manual
From Merriam-Webster online:
1: equivocate vacillate <waffled on the important issues>; also : yo-yo flip-flop
2: to talk or write foolishly : blather <can waffle…tiresomely off the point — Times Literary Supplement>Okay. Now I'm back on the same page...
I don't think that I have been "waffling". More of a Devil's Advocate or a "Point/Counterpoint" thing. When did I "waffle", as in "flip-flop"? When did I "waffle", as in "off the point"? I don't think I have, because my opinion still hasn't changed.
As I suggested, I just wonder how many people perceive rather than experience a benefit from a fork brace. To me, I wonder if a
placebo would be handy in this test. One that would give the rider the perception of better handling, while not doing a darned thing
Of course, it could be that my riding skills are just far better than all of you, because I've never thought that I needed a fork brace
PS - if you need to look up "Placebo", then go here..
