  1. Are you talking about the "crawling in the mud at minus degrees and drag a bike along" event? Man are these guys and girls tough, I'm hooked watching them
  2. Blind test on a downhill track ๐Ÿคจ That's next level
  3. Hobson saddles from USA are designed for that problems. I do not have own experience but heard good things from people who had strict orders from doctors not to apply any pressure in the perineum area . Hobson Seats - Hobson Seats
  4. could be overuse "injury' maybe your foot alignment(horizontal) and or q factor is out or at least on the edge
  5. if pain is more in the calf - achilles area it's mostly saddle too far front or cleats/ foot position foot too far back
  6. Do you need the original ? It's just clear leather cream , check Cycle touring or any tack shop (horse saddles are pretty much in the same need as your brooks saddle)
  7. if you go with 3mm spacers just make sure you have enough thread left in the crank arm

  11. my Head lamp weighs 69 g. and the battery pack is either in the back pocket , strapped to the arm or in a rucksack dependent on the activity . at 700Lumen it runs for the whole night (about 10 hours). Why carry batteries on the head?

  16. Can it be the testing? I have heard the french have one of the strictest tests and rules when it comes to doping . Statistics show Russia Italy and France have the highest numbers in Anti Doping Violations: โ€ข Countries with the most anti-doping rule violations worldwide | Statista so the more they test the more they catch ? When did an Italian win the TDF last except for 2014 Nibali

  18. there are some offers for very basic or beginners/ new bike set ups under R300. But mostly it's worth to have a full one done
