"I'd like to see a reference to the "so-called" research that purports that wider bars increase breathing capacity ! ! !" - Don Gillies

List, There seems to be a few things that are perpetuated, even marketed as necessary, without any data or science behind it. Along with HB width, has anyone seen any science on "float"? The majority of sprinters at track World Championships use OT toe clips and straps, and I didn't see any hobbling around (including Nakano or Morelon).
