I would still appreciate any input on the posted question as my 35mm tyres does fit my cyclocross. I did my first mtb race on my cx bike yesterday and would like to know when and where I can go again.
A TT bike has got a +-78degr seat tube than enable you to get your back horisontal without cramping you in. Thus is a tt bike as comfortable as a road bike but with a better aero position. However if you only going to have 1 bike with you mtb back ground I suggest buying a roadbike. The conversion to drop bars from a tt bike is expensive and very time consuming.(mind you a forward facing seatpost and tt bars are not cheap either) And you will find that now you own a road setup you want to do more road events. Also remember that the Energade series is draft legal and tt bars are not allowed. I think most people do their first Ironman event on a roadbike and then when you get hooked you can ad a tt bike to your collection.
OK it wasnt today but rather in December. Awesome cycle up Sani pass from Himeville to top chalet and back down again. 6 Hour return trip. Wow that down gets the adrennalin flowing! Pics of my boet and I.
could be from csa as my wife and I get the sms's twice each as our 2 little kids are also affiliated to csa for their bmx racing licenses with our numbers as contact number.
I will enter before 11/6 myself and my wife. Then we will leave 2 hours earlier than normal on raceday and drive at 55km/h behind an overloaded Zim bakkie to save fuel. This way I can get the cost per person down to R1000. BARGAIN!!!
I use calve sleeves for recovery only. Put them on after a long race or training ride or run and take them off before I get into bed. But don't ever use them during a race - not only will you look ridiculous but you will also have your worst day ever!
