  3. i like a ra ralph snakeskin on the back but a rocket ron not snakeskip upfront. never ever a sidecut. tried maxis ixons on the back my goodness fast but for ef sakes they dont grip when you need to stop fast. with icons you really need to pull on the front brake as well. respect for people who race with icons upfront i dont have the skills
  4. oi...so because i cramp on creatine i must train harder? not exactly good logic people. i do cramp when i gun a 80 km. yes its a training thing but i never ever cramp when i do a 50 km northern farms cruise. but if i take creatine as a test on this 50 km i will cramp. i was hoping that creatine would help with hill endurance but it seems than no one can vouch for a single endurance benefit. so then im happy that im not missing out.
  5. had the op on the left side. injury from too much gym and too much paragliding. took 2 years to recover after the opp. it needs lots and lots of rest always leave opps as the last resort
  6. id prefer just to tick a box on the race form that says 'dont score towards nat rankings'...meaning im going to ride my heart and lungs out get somewhere middle of the pack and dont want to fail a drug test because i took meds or of the shelf training products. leave the serious business to the serious riders. if i feel like becoming more serious then i must accept that all the rules will apply. quite honestly i feel the same way about the gym bunnies. let the guy ride and give him an unofficial placing which scores zero towards ceding for future races or placement for this race. if he does not tick the box and tests positive then he must face the music.
  7. it seems like every time i try creatine i start getting cramps after about 2 hours. who has the same problem? who can use creatine on 3 and 4 hour rides?
  8. i have this shock. its going to need to be serviced every year and half. and its not quite a smooth as the kashima fox. But it has full lockout with a remote which makes it the best shock in my books. send if for a service and set the rebound 2 clicks off middle (slower) and then its quite smooth
  9. I run Rocket Ron up front and Racing Ralph on the back.
  10. No artificial flavourants No preservatives No colourants No milk (whey) ...but with Caffeine Does anyone know of a match?
  11. Ai sorry man. Hoop dit is verseker.
  12. Burning sensation on the side of the hip. Gets quite bad after hour 4 in the sadle. Pain can stay a few days
  13. 2 x 29er dsus. Will sell one ?..ant then see what my next 2nd bike will be
  14. Yes if idont look too fu*ked or too fat I dont buy too many...
  15. The doc reckons its either this or nurological. As the pain responds very well to nurofen i believe its not nurological but inflamation. Its from cycling...not trauma...but hey i fall a lot doing mtb
  16. Can anyone who has or had this give me some pointers for non medicinal treatment?
  17. Steep DH? Did you do the Magalies Monster today?
  18. O boy spectrumsport messed things up, they have me down as a DNF. Better go check your results and hit the big WTF complaint button on the webpage directly under the results. Spectrumsports website
  19. I was in G batch. But i must admid i had little bottlenecks or singletrack delay issues. A bit in the beginning and then once i started passing E batch oaks it was ok. Could have been a lot worse. Who came in for the 70 in under 3 hours? I did not manage it
  20. Im G batch. My gripe is that the Sani results are not in sa seeding as yet.
  21. go check on strava....i was there
  22. yellow
  23. as jy rerig will suffer kan jy n ice cream karretjie ry
  24. does the remote on the scott spark work on the RP32?
  25. technical bouncy downhills hurts my hands. And my lower back hurts in races more than 50 km. Is this a shorter stem solution? Or rising the handlebar? Yes i did have a setup done i already swapped the handle bar for carbon plus use foamy grips its on a dual sus 29er
