  1. Cant go wrong with Mavic's. When I build my Tallboy i opted for the Mavic C29's, only option available at the time. Have since ridden the SLX (mate of mine chose them) and although they are lighter and more blingy, I would personally recomend the SL or even C29's, better value for money

  2. There are beter ways to lube your drivetrain :-)

     

    Seriously though, like DJR suggested, soak it in waterovernight, the sooner the better and hopefully it will soften a bit. Should be able to scrape it off the bottom bracket, chail going to be dicey though

  3.  

    I know how you feel... my partner has been micro-dosing EPOL too... he's flying cos his shiny new coat is ridiculously aerodynamic. But his panting is getting ridiculous...

    No doubt he is also beating you in the Movember stakes :-)

  4. Used to ride with shorts, but now only use bibs. Find them more comfortable. Why? Not sure.. Maybe peer pressure? Using Anatomic (club + other) kit

    Also have some tripants, and have ridden up to 70km in them, also comfortable... Love my 2XUs

     

    Good fit, and well made are the two most important points (my opinion), so do not compare cheap pants to expensive bibs...

    Same here, originally started with baggies wich is all good and well and has its benefits....extra pockets, walk around without bulging parts but found that they tend to chafe on longer rides notwithstanding chamy cream. bibs on the other hand are light, cover your lower back against sunburn and once you get used to them are more comfortable. end of the day comes down to choice once you have experimented with both drool.gif

  5. Not so much infected as contaminated with oil based solvents like chain cleaner spray etc which somehow stay on rotors. Need to clean them with surgical alcohol and do pads as well then bake pads in oven at high heat, dont burn as this can cause further contamination of pads.

     

    Also chech thickness of rotors, most rotors need to be replaced if the thichness is less than 1,75mm.

  6. Had similar experience towards end of last year, cause of my mishap - wheelie that went wrong. Tried physio as 90% of disc prolapses starts correcting themselves with time witin 6-8 weeks. Mine was one of 10% that got worse.

    Had op where neuro removed part of disc protusion. Did my exercises and was off bike for 10 weeks, caused me to miss out on this year's Sani2C. Back on bike but on somedays I feel that my back aint what it was before my mishap. Just need to manage it and keep on working on your exercises to strengthen back and stomach mussles.

     

    Good luck
