  1. Yes and if you remember correctly that cortizoid was found in his saddle sore cream and he was aquitted. Heres just one link of his latest retests http://road.cc/content/news/65453-usada-retest-lance-armstrong-blood-samples-proves-positive-says-french-tv-show Where they make mention that they now have evidence of him being guilty of doping but in the report there was no evidence of postive blood/urine, and conviction was based on testimony, Also the FBI retested the samples just use google it is your friend
  2. Yes they did and thats what makes his doping charges so staggering sure if you knew how the countermeasures for doping 10 years ago worked you might be able to beat the system, How ever testing methodologies and equipment improved substantially and there was no way for them to know how to cheat the system today. Hence what makes this so intrueging, they have all the samples all the latest tech, and still they can't find fault with his blood.
  3. And if you read Joe Friel's training methods (as well as others) you will realize all your doing is going up the fitness curve at 25% instead of 100% by going to hard, when your supposed to be doing easy sessions.
  4. flat peace of road spin away its not tough to do its just boring, but its crucial to do.
  5. Me too, "theres no way to detect a rider injecting his own blood" bullsh@!T, its called plasticines it doesnt degrade, and is prevelant in any transfusion, so if he did it would be in his blood thats been kept for who knows how many years. Guilty or not, without a postive test of the thousands of samples they have, it still remains a witchunt, if the UCI and the FBI couldnt make a case based on "evidence" the very same evidence the USADA has the case is still not proven. Only diff is USADA is judge jury and execusioner and they dont need evidence in the legal sense of the word to ban someone.
  6. It reminds me more of handbags at 12 o clock with panties in a bunch lol
  7. ok yeah schwalbe's are super thin although (some people here claim they do ok on the foldable's and evo's) I wouldnt run them, only schwalbe i would run toobless is the snake skin versions.
  8. Whats the stock rubber?
  9. No most people convert till they have time/money to buy lighter proper UST rims, And youll only get cuts in the tyre if you use none tubless rubber with rice paper sidewalls, thats got nadda to do with the rims. The other issue is foldable tyres (none UST) dont have a lock on bead, so they tend to creep of the rim under load, once again thats not due to the rim being UST or not its due to the actual bead design of the rubber.
  10. Eish need i say it ... I mean seriously whats wrong with roadies...
  11. Depending on the depth of the rims the strip might be required using just tape on deep rims cuases issues with some tyres seating on the bead. but yea gettho is so 1980 just do a proper conversion.
  12. That makes no sense, BMI is measured with gut circumfrance height and weight, so unless you have one huge gut you wont be measured as obese. If you just go weight and length then yeah your results will be skewed.
  13. No skinny jeans but your happy about lycra?
  14. Both are essentially normal tubless tyres, manufacturers that work label theirs UST pay royalties to use the term, TLR tubless ready, or TNT tubes no tubes, are the same thing they just call it a different name to avoid royalties. I guess his question is more meant are you running a gettho setup with foldable tyres or proper tubless tyres.
  15. Defintily not, I agree with you there. But its based on avg's and only supposed to be a starting point. It is however the most accurate one i have managed to find in the world of avg based stats.
  16. Jeez dude how much you weigh if it suggests 31/33 Im 87kg and spot on with 24/26, Also remember is a generalized gauge, different rubber might have different sweetspots, Rim width as well as rider ability also plays a role, but as a starting point for most I find it 95% acurate.
  17. try this works like a charm for me. http://mtb.ubiqyou.com/

  19. Its obviously a debate, but if you look at Joe Friel "author and top US, national and olympic coach" He has had many atheletes won Nationals, and has achieved olympic success with the paleo diet which is essentially basically the same thing, He has however adapted the diet to include loads of carbs once you have done high intensity workouts (for recovery purposes) And to maintain anaerobic levels has more to do with training yourself to function at that intensity than it has to do with carb utlization. Very few people train properly and spend way to little time in Zone 1/2 on easy rides, or zones 4-5a/b for high intensity training. We tend to gravitate to a moderate training functioning mainly in Zone 3 becuase on slow easy training rides we go to hard, and on hard training rides we are fatigued by not taking the easy rides easy. Hence most people train aerobic capacity but hardly any anearobic capacity.
  20. realistically to have benefit from eating before a race, you need to eat at least 3 hours before the race, i dont know many people that eat at5am to start racing at 8am
  21. ag i dunno hell they ban anything from aspirin to footpowder on the list, its ridiculous if you ask me, i say let them dope they doing it anyway they just wasting money trying to prove that cycling is a clean sport.
  22. Just refer it to the consumer protection agency and ask for their comment.
  23. You forgot to mention the other 999 dopers in the top 1000 peleton.
  24. just type "yr ceres" in google. or go back a page and follow the link i posted. You basically drive straight through ceres on the main road, exit the town, youll see a turnoff to the right next to a big fruit storage facility, turn there and head straight youll eventually drive into the farm.
  25. I buy a bearing kit when i buy my bike, once the bearings are destroyed i replace them. Some bikes the bearings last longer than others. So no point in replacing something that aint broke.
