Prolog
Snubnose Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the Word was with God
He was with God in the beginning
Through him all things were made
Without him nothing was made
In him was life
And that life was the light of men
The light shines in the darkness
The true light that gives light to every man
Was coming into the world
But the world did not recognise him
He came to that which was his own
But his own did not receive him
Yet to all who received him
To those who believed in his name
He gave the right to become children of God
The Word became flesh
And made his dwelling among us
We have seen his glory
The glory of the One and Only
Who came from the Father
Full of grace and truth
Snubnose's song Prolog is a representation of the opening verses of the Gospel of John in New Testament of the Bible. The lyrics serve as an introduction to the story of the gospel and describe the beginning of creation, where everything was brought into existence through the Word of God. It is said that the Word, who was with God since the beginning, was the source of all life, and his light shines through the darkness, yet darkness failed to comprehend it.
The lyrics then shift focus to the coming of the true light, which was to be sent into the world, but the world did not recognize him. The light was to be a savior, but he was not accepted by his own people. But those who received him and believed in him were given the ultimate right to become the children of God.
The song's lyrics are a powerful representation of the story of the gospel and the coming of Jesus Christ. The lyrics showcase the power of faith, belief and the recognition of the sanctity of the Word of God.

I changed to the Vento after experiencing problems on my turbo, happy to say its helped both on the turbo and long rides 🎉

Thanks for this fine review
FYI- wing flexing is not meant for bumping absorption, but to make sure the wings not disturb your thighs when pedaling.

Yes, the world of saddles is a tad scary. I can see where most of us cyclists would be confused on which to buy. Especially some being very expressive.
Been riding for some years now and it seemed that I would get that discomfort around the 80-100 klms mark, and also even hitting the 50klm mark at times. Mind you I've been using a Specialized Toupee for 3- years now. And thought well the saddle hurting is relatively normal in cycling so ...
But recently I came across the (Pro Stealth) in the 142mm size and was in awe just looking at one!!! I dove in the deep waters and got one after hearing so many folks speaking very highly on the Stealth Pro. Glad I did!!
I mean seriously, to be able to ride long distances and not feel that pressure in that tender area is heavenly! The Stealth has a perfect cutout for a healthy flow which works extremely well for me.
But having said that, remember that each and every one of us is built differently so one must invest time to investigate all there is about saddles. Hopefully you will find the correct saddle for you...

I had the Selle touring model, the Pro was more comfortable & narrower nose part of why, the SLR looks primo to me, headwinds here keep me on the clipons a lot, good review thx 🍺

Short-nosed saddles were developed to comply with UCI regulations because the nose of the saddles couldn't be x cm infront of the BB. Shorter nose means the saddle can be slid forward while complying with the regulations.

Yep. and riders like to sit further forward relative to the bottom bracket, when climbing, and when going more aero in the drops.
A shorter saddle allows one to keep the ischiopubic rami better supported on the wider rear part of the saddle.

There is also the Terra Argo, gravel specific. X1 - X5. More flex design in the Terra. I'm thinking I may give the tempo a try on my road Giant Defy. Thanks for the power lineup :)

I don’t think you ever explain that the Fizik you call a “Cadillac” (which has not been the ne plus ultra of cars for about fifty years) is the Tempo Argo. The Argo is designed for endurance riding. The other, narrower Tempo is the Vento, which is designed for racing.
I have never found measuring to the nose of the saddle useful when changing from one saddle to another, which is why Fizik’s marks on the underside make sense only when taking the same saddle off and on. Different saddles have such different configurations that the nose measurement is only helpful as a rough starting point. I find it far more helpful to measure to the rough sit bone point — usually at the widest point of the saddle.

I have the PRO but will give the SLR a try. The pro is just to wide for me, 143mm wide! The back of my legs hit the saddle when pedaling and I find myself constantly moving forward to avoid that. SLR is 130mm so hopefully should be better.
