  1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumbar_hyperlordosis

     

    Has anyone else been diagnosed with this?

     

    I recently started having severe lower back and left hamstring pains. Thought it was because of poor flexibility so tried a lot of stretching. After not improving I went to a doctor who sent me for X-rays and confirmed that I have Lumbar hyperlordosis. This was pinching the nerves in my back causing the pain.

     

    I am currently at a physio who helps with exercises and also posture etc. but would love any other advice? He has prohibited me from running and I can only cycle very upright (no tuck or drops)... :thumbdown:

     

    I started a new job at the start of the year which has me sitting 10 hours a day. My thinking is this combined with training on a TT bike may have caused it.

  2. Good topic. I was set on getting a Tacx - for the multiplayer, google etc. But reading this topic and http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2013/10/2013-trainer-recommendations.html# - I am considering the KICKR.

     

    BTW - I have an older Flow currently (t1680) but the head unit is faulty. Anyone know if I can buy something like this (http://www.futurumshop.nl/tacx-upgrade-i-flow-t1925.phtml) and then have the same functionality as a Bushido?

  3. I have purchased a set of 27.5" carbon rims which I would like to build my XTR hubs - 24 holes (currently 26" wheels) onto. I took it to Spoke Works but they say they can't do the build.

     

    Anybody know of someone who will be willing to assist?

  4. You cant use the TT bike in normal road races unfortunately. Perhaps we should enter a local PPA and start with the temps and use the bars

     

    I had the same idea, but there were loads of TT bikes at the 94.7...

  5. Good idea - thanks!

     

    Wish there was a couple of 70.3 distances to get some good rides in for IM... As far as I know it's basically Midlands Ultra and IM 70.3

     

    Any road races where one can get some TT time in (ideally a "double like the 94.7...)

  6. So I lost the case clip of my GoPro during the 3 Towers. I contacted Omnico to purchase a new clip. They responded that this part is not for sale separately, but they will be happy to send me one

     

    The next day I had 2 clips as well as GoPro stickers delivered to my door! (in Witbank nogals!!!)

     

    Big up to them for really great service!

     

    :clap:

  7. So I was planning on building my current 26" XTR wheels over on 650b rims. Got a shock when I started counting the spokes and only got 24.... Really expected more.

     

    Had a look around and can't seem to find any rims that will work. Also wondering if building 24 hole 650b wheels will be reliable...

     

    Any comments please?
