  1. Starting 7h07 .Lastyear was my first .Started with the cows FF .What batch is 7h07
  2. She is jiking them
  3. +1
  4. Core strenght + relaxing upper body while riding + ergo grips and bar ends helped me with the same problem .Gloves ext ,hogwash .Fitness at the end of a long ride will help to maintain all the above .Bikefit is not always the best for the rider .Ride with a tool and adjust your setup until you feel comfortable for at least 3 hour ride
  5. At least you know that your training was worthwhile .Normal !
  6. I agree with rouxtjie completely .For 3h2min in the saddle yesterday i had a smile on my face for 3h .My partner and i had a clean run thru all the singletract and descents .If only Mankele was closer
  7. Oldest scam just in another form .Fraudulent over payment ,then long story and wants overpayment back .So the scammer gets you to pay him legit
  8. My advice as follows .Ditch the roadbike idea .If this is your first venture into cycling you don.t want to compete with traffic to get fit .You will hate it and stop .MTB and ride it everywhere including 94.7.
  9. Santacruz the same .Camelbak!
  10. Buy yourself a SC tallboy .Nobody is going to buy your used Chinese dualie when you want to buy a real frame
  11. I have jumped the gun and gone to SS .Now this is really simply .I have other good bikes and my SS is my favoride .Once you have sorted out geometry and gearing ,it becomes addictive
  12. Thanks ! It rides great as is .Still getting use to the ride position .Will have to do something to the narrow handlebars .My hands are getting numb .
  13. I am new to road cycling .I have recently bought a pinarello fp uno with 105 shifters and the rest is Tiagra .I like the bike but the shifting I found a bit sluggish .What would be the best componant upgrade that will not cost more than the bike itself
  14. Unfortunately the pro,s are also to blame .They are normally the riders losing their bottles or gu wrappers and d on,t stop to pick it up .Have you ever seen a top rider stop and dismount to pick up their waterbottle ?
  15. I have used epic pro and recovery max .I think they both work better than using nothing at all .Epic pro is just not very palatable .Only use these products during multistage events.Recently i have been using PVM products and found pvm sustane mixed with peptopro to be a good during and after drink .Roctane is the only gel i found to be useful .Nothing is as easy ,cheap and quick as a banana and a milkshake thou
  16. Way to much trouble for a dirtroad ride .I think the date plays a very big part .Can combine with dr evil classic .Then it makes sense to fly or drive down
  17. arendoog

    EPO BOOST

    Life is to short not to try it .Mix with a bit of growth hormone and testosterone .Man i am getting old .I need all 3
  18. Thanks naas .Have a set of alex rims that i want to change for a set of arch /x9 on my single speed
  19. No such thing as a safe jump ! .Only inexperienced jumper !
  20. Can a x9 front hub that is currently a 15mm be converted to a QR .Anybody?
  21. Momsen sl729 was very well spect, groupset and wheelset .I don,t know about the other .Have had my momsen for 2 years and apart from the slippery crosssmark in front ,i have not changed anything and stiil going strong
  22. My mavic 719 with hope hubs combo are strong, stiff ,light and durable .2 years ,4 stage races later and they have been cleaned and lubed only .Also fitted on tallboy
  23. I have avid elixer CR AND XT ON DIFFERENT BIKES .Never had problems with either .Avids are always noisy when they are cold or very hot .Even the cheap shimano brakes work well .Cannot say that about the juicy,s
  24. Get a Tallboy or settle for a Pimp jumper or a Bling works !
  25. My brakes squeal every time they are cold or very hot Who cares!, they slow me down
