Velouria did excellent - congratulations.

What I look for after setting the saddle height is that the rider have a flat forefoot and slightly heel up position at the bottom of the pedal stroke, without over-extending behind the knee or rocking in the saddle to do it. You can also rely on a specific upper and lower leg angle of anywhere from 28 - 35 degrees. It is also important to look at a rider's pedaling dynamics - the key is to be able to apply force all the way down through the pedal stroke, without dropping the heel at the bottom and delaying the time it takes to begin pulling back and up on the pedals on the upstroke. If you?re setting your position up for mountain biking, you might be up to a centimeter below your optimal road position to allow for riding slightly over the saddle on bumpy terrain.

Aah thanks for the invite MichH smileys/smiley1.gif

My Venteze doesn't seem to work. smileys/smiley11.gif maybe the guy's are just too strong. smileys/smiley9.gif

I sometimes also commute to work, but I don't find any improvement.

What about, a road race stage, TT, MTB and a target shooting stage. smileys/smiley1.gif

I've heard the Free State is flat - you only need 1 blade. smileys/smiley36.gif

whish I had one off those bikes. Apart from my avatar the best looking thing I've seen this morning.

Used to do target shooting.....be afraid, very afraid....smileys/smiley36.gif

I also wanted to recommend the Pro-Race saddles going for R50.

I wonder what Marius thinks about it.

The length of a training period designed for peaking will vary substantially depending on the individual and the racing situation. It could be argued that an athlete who wishes to peak for an Olympic time trial may start training several years in advance by performing intervals to increase his or her MSPO [maximal sustainable power output], however, a truly specialised peaking program should last ~ 8 weeks, therefore allowing a rider two, 3-week training periods separated by a 4-/5-day recovery period and culminating with a 7-/10-day taper prior to competition. (as you mentioned)

Which Giant frame can you get for R9500?

Giant seems to be the best value for money.

sjoe!, ek sal dit glo smileys/smiley3.gif Vroe? tekens van 'overtiredness' Elevated basal heart-rate Eleveated training heart-rate Elevevated recovery heart rate Verhoogte gevoel van intensiteit gedurende oefening. Sukkel om oefenining gemaklik te doen of te voltooi. Sudden drop in performance. Musculular soreness and pain. Heavy muscle feeling Sudden weight loss. Loss of appetite. Thirst during the night. Gastrointestinal disturbances Poor healing of wounds Lower resistance to infection. Generalised apathy and lethargy Irritability Poor coordination Short attention span Loss of enjoyment and interest in training Sleep disturbances Depression
