I've just invested in the new PT MTB hub which I've had fitted into a Stan's notubes rim with DT competition spokes. The hub adds about 300 grams to the weight of the wheel. I'm also going to post some of the numbers from the last three races that I did. A couple of interesting points: 1. Power output is highly variable (even more so than on the road) mainly due to the varied terrain. 2. I have not generated any significant peaks under 20 mins and power output stays largely in the L3/l4 "sweetspot" area. I suspect that this is due the nature of MTBing being a long time trial. 3. The PT is invaluable for pacing startegy in MTBing as it can prevent you burning out over the first half of the race (again similar to TT).

I own a RC 20 which developed a crack at the seat tube - top tube junction. Scott replaced the frame with no questions asked. I don't think there is a weight limit for the frame. I weigh 65kgs anyway! Personally I don't think this is a big issue as I know of people who have cracked Giant, Spez, Cervelo and Orbea carbon frames. The biggest problem with the MC/RC is the rear shock which doesn't really work that well.

All due respect, but your 'logical reasoning' is fatally flawed. There is plenty of evidence to explain the origin of life on earth and the earth itself. To simply claim that a god created it all in six days, simply because some book / fable tells you so is illogical and unscientific. Again I note that you have not provided any evidence of a god's existence.

, but I'll make do with a little!

Look, the bottom line is that it is irrational to believe in something for which there is no scientific or evidentiary proof. It is not a question of knowing whether a god exists or believing whether a god exists. The question you must ask is whether there is any evidence of a god's existence. Clearly there isn't.

I reckon just using some velcro straps and a normal cage would be the lightest and would probably work just as well.

Sorry, you are quite correct. Not sure that the iBike is really an option given its issues.

I also got the Sigma Powerled Black and very happy after three night rides. Very neat and light system as well. I know its not up to the standard set by the Lupine etc, but I prefer to spend the extra cash on the bike itself!

Quite amusing that there are two guys 'helping' the bike and only one guy helping the rider. Maybe they were planning to steal it!

You could call Mountain Lion as an expert witness

Thanks for the feedback!

Is the speed / distance from GPS accuarte? I.e. compared with a normal trip computer

Really nice film-work and editing, but the background muzak was enough to turn you into an axe murderer

Assuming that you are applying force to the cranks during the trackstand then there must surely be power musn't there? Its just that the force exerted is being offset be gravitational forces, resistance, the brakes, or a combination of these. Will need to try this with a power meter!

And that's exactly the point. When I used to train with HR it was impossible to measure improvement scientifically. With a PM it is. This means that you can plan when you peak and not just leave it to chance.

Legally speaking the SA Govt can't stop the weapons being transfered through the country as long as legislation and international protocals have been complied with. To do otherwise could result in the SA Govt being sued or chucked out of the UN,etc (might not be a bad idea on current form!). I agree though that morally speaking it is a completely different matter ...
