No issue if it's boxed

Canoeing's application to be allowed at level 4 has been nixed: message from Chairman of Canoeing SA "Unfortunately this request is denied". That is the message I received from SAMSA this morning in reply to our application for a relaxation in the level 4 restrictions, allowing us to return to the water in a limited capacity. They continue by saying; "While Level 4 is implemented, we cannot allow this. Gyms are closed and although exercise is limited, the request from government is to limit this as much as possible – only walking, jogging and cycling is permitted within the surrounding area of your home".

Pretty arbitrary recommendations

OK. My bad

You are a private ED's dream

Distance from mount point to rim is going to be the issue. You can probably find some old long-reach calipers - someone onthe Hub would probably have a pair lying in a box/drawer collecting dust. I actually have a fork that would work perfectly for you but lockdown an issue...

He might be able to fit some calipers on there - would be an interesting exercise

A pair of 700c or 29er wheels with 28/32c tyres has pretty much the same diameter/rolling circumference as 26er wheels with MTB tyres. I did a similar build with a Spez 26er hardtail & it worked fine. I did use a disc frame though - your problem is going to be the brakes - the rims of a 700c/29er rim won't align with your cantis.

I will (partially) agree with you that the mortality and morbidity numbers are inflated - non-symptomatic carriers are not being tested which skews the data. The severe morbidity rate and mortality rate in the general population are probably about half of the rates that are being quoted for DIAGNOSED cases. This is supported by the lower rates in countries that have tested extensively. But even at half the commonly quoted rates, a 10% severe illness rate (hospitalisation), 2.5% very severe illness rate (ICU/ventilation)and a ~1% mortality rate are still nothing to sneeze at (pun intended). Since you are supreme in your invulnerability as a young person who thinks their risk is very low (sacrifice the older generation, they've had a good life already and they are not economically active anyway?) let me give you a little food for thought. The pattern of illness that is emerging from Italy and the USA is that the rate of severe illness in younger people is not much different to the older. Their mortality rate is lower because they have better respiratory reserve and less co-morbidities, so tolerate the decrease in lung function better. While they might survive better, they do end up with lung damage which can take years to resolve, and may be permanent. So if you think in terms of the risk of maybe not being able to ride your bike again because of lung damage, at the morbidity rates quoted, will that change your attitude?

Can this be set so that when you click on a post in "My Content" it takes you to the individual's post rather than page 1 of what might be a 1000 post thread! Don't have time to search through it for the specific post... Also if someone likes a post, clicking on the notification currently takes you to page 1 of the thread as above. I'm getting old and can't necessarily remember which post it is that you like... And if you're Hairy, how will you possibly know which of the 24 000 posts are being referred to...?

Complete groupset doesn't really fall under drivetrain - not that intuitive...

Also no Groupset category in Components now?

Ad pictures won't load in enlarged format in Microsoft Edge ie. when you click on the picture and it is supposed to load in standalone large format. Microsoft Edge 44.18362.449.0

I've used them and was a simple no hassle experience much the same as Merlin or CRC

Fixed it for you

Now that IS porn, and at a fraction of the price of the Pinarello!...

There are various options but they are dependent on whether you have any underling cardiac pathology, what form your AF takes, whether it is continuous or paroxysmal, whether it happens at rest or is provoked by exercise, etc etc. Giving up exercise can reduce incidence. Detraining can reduce incidence. Meds can reduce incidence.Whether you are prescribed rate controllers (eg B-blockers) or rhythm controllers (eg Tambocor) depends on underlying pathology. None of those options are particularly attractive to lifelong athletes (the individuals most at risk!) However the bottom line seems to be that ablation is the best option in most cases, especially athletes who want to exercise again.

Yep

There is limited research out there, but logically there are a couple of phases to your recovery. Phase 1 the burns have to heal and form scar so no exercise in that period - call it 2 weeks. Phase 2 is whether the procedure has worked. Unless you begin having episodes of AF early so you know it's failed, you can only really say you are OK after 3 months and after your follow-up Holter ECG. In addition the theory of what caused the AF in a healthy athlete in the first place involves the cardiac changes that occur in response to high-intensity training. Part of the treatment for that is "detraining" the heart. That is achieved by rest and/or low-intensity training. So suggest low intensity only in this phase, up to Zone 2 max for 3 months. So long as you stay in the zones you can theoretically ride as much as you want, but common sense dictates that more than 3 hours is not going to achieve much. If you do long rides you'll find that cardiac creep means that towards the end of the ride the power that you can produce while remaining in zone is pathetic! Very difficult to stay there so you have to be disciplined. Boring as hell. Forget group rides - it's impossible to stay where you are supposed to. Once you have the all clear then theoretically no reason you can't go balls to the wall again, but bear in mind that as a middle-aged/older athlete (I assume) you require more cardiac recovery time between high-intensity sessions. Should only be doing 2 per week. This is a useful article: http://bjsm.bmj.com/content/bjsports/46/Suppl_1/i37.full.pdf

Cyclic. They're in the shopping centre at the intersection of Main & William Nichol

France having a try again today! Wants to buy my bike TODAY sight unseen! He's very interested! Moniker is now jacob88.

Seriously? Have you never watched a pharmacist using a pill counter? They dump a whack of pills into the hard plastic counting tray, scrape the required number into a little channel with a hard plastic spatula, close the lid on the remaining pills, decant the selected ones into the little dispensing canister then decant the remaining uncounted pills back into the bulk bottle. Lots of clattering around, plenty of trauma to the pills, Then dump your gelatin capsules into the pill counter for the next counting job (nice adherent surface - you made the point yourself), pick up that dust and there you go. The hands don't even come into it. The contamination is directly from the pill-counting tray.

Started D, rode 3:03. Started again from the back of OE, & had a chilled ride for 3:58. Wind was definitely worse second time round. My hats off to the back markers - they work for that medal - no groups to hide in and no co-operative effort. Most of the guys doing 2nd round were chilled and well-behaved but there were the few inevitable twats.
