It's a good thing this governing body is out here making the big moves to protect riders. I have seen so much carnage from T.O.G.S. that it's nice to know this dangerous product won't be out there maiming riders any longer.

Maybe they will enforce adding a pool noodle to your top tube and handlebar?

Things that give you a massive advantage in races:

• PEDs
• Blood Doping
• TOGs

I have no idea what TOGS are and I’m not going to Google it.

If you have a road bike you might want to check it out. I never heard of them before either but am now about to buy a pair for my gravel/commuter bike.

But this is MTBR, the OP is totally off topic

Cliff notes: it’s a dumb piece of plastic that you bolt to your handlebars, and you hook your thumbs around them while you’re climbing.

WTF. pretty funny really. i do have togs on my bike though.

I love my TOGs!

Because TOGs contribute to motos driving into riders

Damn! Guess I just lost my competitive edge...

Used them for years (but stopped a few years back once I realized I could do the thumb over thing almost as effectively without them). Found one of their best uses was to prevent my ESIs from drifting inboard on my uncut bar when I was reefing on them while climbing. Good to see someone finally put an end to these evil things.

Hmm...has anyone tried licking them? Maybe they are made of something that gives you a serious boost in energy and endurance.

Geez, I hope they ban disc brakes. Those things will send you OTB and if you land on one you'll probably cut open your jugular or something.
