These things used to be practically impossible to find.  They had the jumbo index ones at Gambler's General Store for a while, but never the standard index ones.  But Wingra Direct has them - I stumbled across them while buying an 808 Club membership.


And get this - they're probably the cheapest ones you'll ever find, at $12 each!

The thing is, would you mount it with the fronts showing or the backs?

They have the two advert cards in the bottom corner... kinda ruins the looks of it.


Anyone know where to get a 'perfect' uncut with 56 rider-backs?

I'd probably mount it to show the backs. I might just start using my rider backs again, haven't done that in a while.

Buy two, cut them in half, put the two non-ad-card halves together and mount.


Either that or simply trim the ad-card row off, since you're only mounting the backs.


Normally I'd never suggest cutting an uncut sheet, but these are pretty inexpensive - less than some posters of that size.

.....or just get two Rider-Back cards and cover the ad-cards.

I just discovered a better though more expensive solution: the CARC Professional Bicycle Rider Backs have ad cards with Rider Backs on them.

It's $40 and domestic shipping is included - and while you can't choose blue, you can choose ivory or air cushion.
