  1. I use it as a recovery drink as well.
  2. Ok I will go 1st. Age 30 Polar 50 PPA 68 Last race I did was in 2009. Bit scared to come back after a year. Hope I am fit enough
  3. Hi For all the Polar owners out there. What is your own index and what is yor seeding?
  4. Thanks for the advice. The bike was booked in for a full service 3 months ago. All the components are dry.These wheels are older than 4 years. Will it hurt if I replace the bearings and crease the components?
  5. During my morning ride my wheels started to make a weird noise. It sounds almost like braking noise and you can feel it too. After a couple of jumps to noise goes away but after a while it comes back. I think the bearings must be replaced. Any advice or suggestions?
  6. Sorry I ment hook not kook.
  7. I am one of those lucky ones stuck out here. There is only one route I know of but not shure of singletrack. Send me a pm with your details and I will try and kook you up with a local club you can ride with.
  8. I have a pair of Ryder gloves but I would not recommend then if the temp is less than -7 degrees. But I geuss if you use inners go can use them. I am going this route, its very cold here.
  9. I have asma and take 2 burst before I ride. If I ride hard it is possible to get another asma attack. But finishing a pump and going for seconds is a bit much.
  10. Talk to pornstar. He might be able to help you

    Hi I now of weekends but I can show you the routes that some people cycle on the week days that safe.
  12. Height: 1.84 Weight: 102 Front: 53 - 39 Rear: 11 - 25
  13. Just make sure the crank is strong enough. Took one for our Wedding photo's and after pedaling 2km (and popping a wheeley or 2) something broke by the crank. Told the LBS is poor quality on the metal. Luckily he didn't charge me to fix it. Those things are heavy but using the back pedal to brake brings back memories.
  14. "It is not about the bike" and I quote<?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> I had a Raleigh RC1000 and in my 1st year and 94.7 I managed a 3:02. You feel great (and laugh afterwards) when who pass other cyclist on their full carbon bikes. Training is the key and enjoy cycling.
  15. some hubs are for 8 speed only, others are for 9-10 speed casette. Let you LBS check out if it will fit a 9 speed casette. A new hub cost about R250 - R350.
  16. Road was 87km\h in a race held at Secunda. This is for the coldest ride min temp: -5 avg temp: -3 max temp: 4 and I managed an hours ride in these conditions but never again.
  17. Send a mail to Pornstar/Collin. He will help you out in no problem. He send mine in 2 days time. Great Service

  19. Chain reaction cycles in the UK Chris Willemse Cycles in Cape Welcome to the hub.
  20. I sold mine for R600 to buy a Polar S710i. Depends where you are going to use it and what features do you need.
  21. I want to move to 10 speed and the only thing stopping me is the price of the 105 STI's . Derailleur is a derailleur, STI's tells it what to do. I ran 9 speed with 8 speed components except for the casette that was 9 speed as well.
  22. I currently have 105 comp with 9 speed STI's and casette on my bike but don't want to pay R2500 at CRC for 105 Shifters. Camp has 10 speed shifters under R1100 and casette for R500. Is worth swapping to Camp or stay at Shimano?
  23. Can you run Camp STI's with a Shimano casette?
  24. You can get special contact lenses that won't dry so quickly than the rest. Its cost a bit more but speak to your opt.
