    Hey Doc, Good on you for popping in and answering all the questions the way you do, in nice detail no less. Decent client-centric behaviour. I guess one or two bike shops could learn from that.

    Stock brokers are paid when trades are made not on profits, so you won't find one. For online broking Standard Bank has always been one of the most cost effective. I'm sure a google search will give you some cost comparison.

    No concern necessary. HR will remain elevated and slowly subside as the body recovers. Depending on the intensity of the session could be as long as 36 hrs. So, rest up mate.

    Caution: This post was not well thought through.

    What an innocent disposition. Duplicitous use of the word innocent. I wonder what gave Michelle the impression that her opinion is required. It's like she's managing his naiveté.

    Do a ramp test. (easy test if you have an IDT)You now have a figure for your final 60 seconds of sustainable power. 75% of that figure will be darn close to you FTP. My guess is yours will be around 240W - 250W Of course, you can go and do a full out hr of max effort, but who wants to do that.
  7. KidCharlemagne
    Pretty decent times for a 48 year old. Drop your weight and your climbing time will reduce significantly. (Unless you are a really lanky fella) I think your FTP is underestimated. 8 hrs a week is plenty if it is quality hrs

    Yup, antibiotics are only effective with bacterial infections. Colds and flu are most commonly caused by viral infections.

    100%! If a seller's ad appears a bit shady or misrepresented, call him out on it.

    I've got R500K burning a hole in my bank account. I think you should take it and use the R200K as a buffer, for the lean months of course.

    Ok, you battling with the due diligence concept, so, don't worry about it.
  12. KidCharlemagne
    Did you miss the due diligence part?
  13. KidCharlemagne
    I'll use my LBS for servicing and repairs and be happy to import components if it proves to be cost effective. If this will be an on-going affair there will have to be some due diligence. You one post status is largely irrelevant.

    Just do it! Whatever the outcome you'll be stronger the next time around.

    The general answer is one LSD, one FTP session and one VO2 max session.

    I have two Afrikaans mates, well, from Afrikaans families but they are largely anglicised. They say that they will not send their kids to Afrikaans schools as they prefer having English as their first language. I always wondered if that was a trend amongst the younger Afrikaans generation.

    I did one of these studies at the SSISA a few years back and they paid us R5k

    Slightly odd that you would purchase such silly little items abroad. In fact, if you stand on any street corner long enough someone will eventually hand you some socks, water bottle and a cap for free.

    Those two lengths don't correlate too well. Check again and do precise measurements. The site Cippo noted will explain exactly how to measure.
  20. KidCharlemagne
    Solid, comprehensive and unbiased comparisons on this site. Thanks for the link

    Anyone have experience with the CycleOps Power Beam Pro & the Tacx Bushido indoor trainers? Trying to make a choice between the two.

    I once shouted "Dibs!" on the prettiest girl at primary school, still waiting for her to return my call.
  23. KidCharlemagne
    I think you mean, "Don't plead naiveté" Otherwise we bringing the birth of Christ into all this.

    That is my point they had the same issues as us and the problems persist today and will for a long time. There is no place in the US that segregate against colour, certainly not legislated segregation, in attitude yes, much like in SA. And I've been to the US several times.

    Oh dear oh dear, you are almost incorrigible.
