for 1 day stuff a good fitting bib short is more important than anything, no matter how much stuff you put on if the chamois is loose against your skin then u will cry. for longer stage races a bit of self rub is a nice, albeit self indulgent, way to start your day, plus the tingle in your mingle takes your mind away from your screaming legs!

in a peleton your chances of winning are one of 200, and only 1 person can win, on a soccer pitch any one of 22 players can score and there can be more than one scorer per game, and who celebrates like a monkey? i say great, its a huge achievement, celebrate how you want!

mtn will have a team at tdf next year, froome for GC, janse van rensburg being led out by impey and jay thomson for the green jersey. the two sistas as domesitiques to the african kids! imagine that sight, franck carrying bottles for our boys!

did not realise you need the same team or both members to have done it last year..

Guys any good ipad apps for tdf 2013?

i assume whats great about this tool that even if you have a powertap you need to change wheels etc, here you can roll on your mtb, training bike and race bike and you can get a more consitent spread of data.. currently i do only 1 out of 5 sessions on my powermeter as mostly on mtb, and too lazy to swop wheels every 3rd day. yes, it may be fully accurate, but as long as the deviation is consitent then you are getting the value of a plotted line going up or down, and thats all you care about. data is all about frequency of data spread as the more dots on a scatter plot the easier it is to draw averages etc.

guys will the strap work with my garmin devices, and if i have a powertap will the 2 not interfere? whats the accuracy ratio compared to the benchmarks?

g unit. how does the tallboy handle out the saddle, is there bob? i rode the specialized epic and it was great, but my heart cries out for the tallboy!

not many sram supporters then, is the gruppo really that bad? i rode on old sram around 5-6 years ago in days when shimano had 2:1 gear activation vs the 1:1 ratio of SRAM and was generally happy.

i heard that 2013 sc tallboy c will be 142 mm in rear.. but little detail on web

do you know what is the difference between SID and reba? the xx models appear almost identical in specs and weight

thanks guys, i cant do full xtr, will need to mix and match a bit between the 2 gruppos.

no problems!

hi guys finally building up my SC Tallboy C, what do you think of the following: SRAM x0 or mix of XT and XTR? SID XX fork or Fox 100 RLC ? SRAM Xo groupset looks nice but i have seen mixed reviews on cranks and brakes SID XX is superlight but fox appears top notch rest: hope /ztr arch wheels, truativ noir components any advice?

they hardly have feed for their horses so some died , so whats the deal about 1 animal dying cos of a goo gel? they will not close it as they make enough cash (which i am sure goes to the development fund of the manager) from us.

i am mates with her brother, a while ago we were all in dullstroom for a training camp. sat evening the skies opened and pissed down all night. we met up on sunday in pouring rain. all the guys chickened out of the ride but she went - her poor husband had to follow her to salvage some pride!! ONE TOUGH COOKIE!

thanks guys, i am into the whole discovery thing - on gold status should be diamond in 2014, so might as well use vitality and lay low on fnb...thanks for all the posts

hi guys in between credit cards, evaluating to go with E bucks or discovery. currently have both but use fnb more. have fnb cheq, credit card and bond. have discovery medical aid, life insurance and credit card. lots of guys say discovery gives best benefits. should i stay on ebucks or start swiping the discovery?

guys i will have entry and accommodation going, have come down with bad flu and its in my chest. if you are interested pm me and ill send you all the particulars

will be there x 3 people

my first time but for a polish boy i am rather excited about all this poijtie kos and klipdrift!

i think epic is a different level of terrain, would seriously need a big dose of HTFU pills to do it on a hard tail! for now sticking to it and will decide closer to the time.

Beautiful. My ritchey went like a bomb at sani2c. Really well balanced and nimble for a 29er. Now its time to strip the gears!

toxic, what did you get in the end??
