I'm also considering the surgery. My ITB is consistently sore. Even with time off, stretching, rolling, hip exercise, etc. I'm hesitant to get the surgery, but the ITB pain is now really affecting my cycling. Running even 2 city blocks is not an option but cycling has been ok until about 1 month ago.

A 38? Dude, you must put out some serious watts!

Which Mavic do you have? You're welcomed to come try my Fulcrum Zeros...

I have some Fulcrum Zero's that are kick ass. Looking to sell them actually. I like my deep sections, which are probably worse wheels, but have a better look on my bike.

I'm riding a Kask Mojito right now. Its great.

Yep, pain in inner knee. Not the knee cap. Could be a bit of ITB, but mainly inside the knee. I will get a proper set-up sorted out ASAP.

My buddies saw the whole thing. They restrained the driver who had a ton of weed in his car and was super baked. The guy broke his neck in 2 places and will be ok without surgery they say.

I've heard cleats many times. What would be the problem with the cleats? And yes, its my first MTB. I have no experience with 2x10. I'll try and get into a proper set-up this week. Have heard that ErgoFit is good...

No way. I don't have a cadence sensor for my MTB. But there is no way I'm below 65. I would say I'm up at least 80s-90s.

I have chronic ITB issues in that knee. Can hardly run anymore. But I can ride the league rides on the road without any issue at all.

None really. I'm new to MTB.

So I recently put XX1 on my hard tail. I'm running a 32 front ring. I've been getting pain in my left knee after about 50km of riding and one of my buddies thinks its because the ratio is so large. He figures its causing me to grind up the climbs with too much for my knee to handle. I've been cycling for a while, mostly road, and have some good power. Riding elite this year. Thoughts? Could it be that the granny gear in my XX1 is too large and causing my knee pain? Would swapping to a standard 2x10 be the answer?

Where can I get those!? The brown ones are killer.

Who's Darrel Linn?

Its a painful exercise. I sent in a gilet and got a replacement 3.5 months later. I would strongly suggest getting the work done locally.

I would instead go with the Cervelo RS listed in the classifieds ;-) If that doesn't do it for you, go for the Cannondale.

48x18 for me.

Quite heavy for that kind of cash, no?

I'll most likely pitch up. Sounds like fun and a good way to meet some new people.

I like my Fulcrum Zeros.

Call John O'Connor

After a solid W start last year, I've managed to get into % this year :-) Stoked!

I'm riding Fulcrum Zeros right now and love them. Go for it.

What do you think? I realize that the cut is pretty deep, but the tyres are brand new, only ridden about 150km. Other than this cut, these Schwalbe Ultremos are 100% brand new. Is it risky to ride it because of the cut?

I have 2 of these bottles but would like another 2. Anyone know where to get them in Cape Town? http://www.camelbak.com/Sports-Recreation/Bottles/Podium-Big-Chill-25oz.aspx
