Replaced the uncomfortable Fizik saddle on the new bike with a Prologo Scratch - much more comfortable!

Swapped out the Selcof carbon post and Selle SMP Extra on my turbo bike (currently the Cube road bike) with my new Trek Pavement suspension post and Voodoo saddle, quite possibly less saddle discomfort on the turbo for ~60min+ rides.
Won't stay on there long, it will be back on the gravel ebike before I head out on it again, just a quick curiosity test!

Butchered a cheapo Zefal mudguard to cover the seat tube and BB area that my Raceblade Pros don't cover.
The other day I went out to the bike with calipers to measure up to 3d print a seat post clamp similar to the one I did for the Felt VR40.
But then I had a eureka moment, and noticed the bottle cage bolts screw into bosses that go right through the seat tube thus:
Perfect attachment point! So I chopped the guard down and drilled it to 8mm to fit that boss.
Bolted in situ:
Wheel back in and it looks ok, but in hindsight I should have drilled the hole a few mm lower so there wasn't a gap between the raceblade and the Zefal section.
I'll relieve it a little bit where the FD is touching but it's not bad as it is. Only just touches when changing into big ring.
Main drawback is the raceblade wobbles up and down a bit when going over bumps, so it knocks against the Zefal. Need something to clamp the two together like with bit of plastic or rubber to cover the gap.

That is just what I did, from my odds and sods bag. I used a thick piece of plastic that came with some lights, the plastic that goes between the handlebars and the lamp clamp, it`s about 3" long. Just a thought for you perhaps ?
