  1. Well I'm sick and tired - does that count???
  2. Thats our church, got married there and my son was christened there too!! Swissvan and Mrs SV were in our rent a crowd !!!
  3. https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/138353-recovery/page__hl__recovery
  4. Wits University med school. Once you know what it is what are you going to do with the info?? There are many thresholds, and you can do a simple test yourself and find a threshold.
  5. Cos track cycling is just soooooo much better!!!!!!
  6. The garments that fit "you" are the best to go for. I have tried, LineBreak, Skins, 2XU and a few others. for me Skins fit the best. as in all cycling things what works for one does not necessarily work you you. try them all on and buy the ones that fit. As in all cycling purchases we are very happy to buy wheels for R20k, shoes for R3k but not compression pants for R1k..., its all about the visibility, your friends can see the R20k wheels and it impresses them, but not your compression pants....they just look wierd...
  7. A virus gives you the flu, not cold weather. Poor Eskimos woulkd constantly be sick....
  8. for IM my recommendation is always do what ever will preserve the legs for the run.....
  9. SV what type of question is " is shorter better" obviously longer is always better... Having said that I have changed from 200mm on my road bike to 180mm. no difference in power output at all. seems like these days shorter is the new trend, read on british TT forums, lots of guys going for 160mm cranks, for exactly the reason you quote, better hip to torso angle and you can get lower. dont know if an IM athlete wants to ride radically low for 180km....
  10. youtube foam rollers and see them in action, easier than me explaining.
  11. buy a foam roller drink a recovery drink, 1 liter of chocolate milk straight after race wear compression sock on the way home sleep in compression tights next day ready to rock and roll again.
  12. go fast turn left, repeat a few times.....
  13. ju just look for sunglasses, the spot is right there.....
  14. Perhaps the "owner" of said G-Spot knows who left the behind.....
  15. there are many areas where energy has been used for one purpose then discarded. For instance at the Pizza shop there is a fire to cook the Pizza and a whole lot of heat is going up the chimeny. if you install a copper pipe coil inside the chimeny = free heat for the geyser. Big manufacturing companies that have smoke stacks can be used to drive a wind type turbine to generate power The basic idea is to use the electricty for its main purpose, ie warming water, but then to use the excess heat or water for something else. Boil the potatoes then use that hot water in the dishwasher to do the initial rinse.
  16. There is a load cell measuring the pressure / tension in the chain. Definetly Not 2 powermeters in the crank... something similar to Polars WIND power thingie....hence the software showing pedal stroke analysis very similar to polar.
  17. 1.95m tall on a size 58cm .......try something bigger I am 1.91 on a size 60cm with 180mm cranks
  18. I will be bringing in Xpedo pedal based power meter, but only released towards end of this year. No indication on pricing yet. Best option to use when wanting to switch between bikes.
  19. Well first you gotta beat me to the white line!!! also 50 in 2015.....

  21. these are rollers
  22. That is an IDT you have NOT rollers!!
  23. At Hector Norris Park there are Bikes available for loan/try out, just bring your own pedals and shoes. Racing every Sat afternoon. I am certain Pilditch in PTA have the same situation, contact Sheldon Bole. Track cycling got some Loto money many years ago and this was use for the rental/loaner/try out track bikes at all tracks
  24. Ch 501 DSTV in Portugese 16h00 everyday
  25. Just remove the freehub body and clean all the grease out of it, then put a light oil inside and you too can anoy those riding with you, with the loud clicking noise your freehub now makes
