Slowbee, i think these two guys basically have given you what you need. A normal crank would have 53 teeth ont he big chainring and 39 on the small one. A compact crank is smaller in size and normally has 50 teeth on the big chainring and 34 on the smaller one.... so in reality you will need to spin faster at the same speed as someone with a normal crank but you also don't need as much strength for the hills. The crank arm can still be 175mm or 172.5mm that depends on how tall you are!! For instance mine is 170mm!! Hope this helps!!

Wow...and all of that just for the track....what a waste!!!

are cell phones camera's WW ? yeh yeh....okay. I avoid video camera's in races at all costs and still have been seen on tv quite a few times. Thank goodness both times they interviewed me they never showed the footage

I avoid the cameras at all costs

Hey Wisecrack....enjoy the rest and recover quickly!! Hope you can be back on your bike in no time!!

I definitely have too vivid an imagination... C'mon we need Beee behind the wheel, then our guys will have no choice but to win..... .....Christie....you doing Kremtart

Well, I've never been to London so Wah!!!

Should we believe you?? I mean it was around the time when people dressed all funny

Except for the ones with the pink shirt... Yeh, I was also wondering what that was with the pink tops.... Don't think I would have recognised you boss....wow!!! Those were the days...now we battle to get him on a bike

hehehe....you can pretty much eat anything these guys have mentioned. My idea is tha t the best thing to do is find out what you like and what you can stomach....as long as it gives you a mixture of simple sugars and some complex carbos plus maybe even a little protein....you're on your way!!!

To the creepy 8-legged dude that can climb walls.... already wished you but hey buddy....here's to a great day ENJOY !!

Hey Edman, I always have a soft spot for Bianchi's (PS: Just don't tell my boss ) Isn't that quite aheavy frame though???

talking about pics? Hey, I'm still being harrassed with PM's Let's not go there But if you want to post another one, I'll auction it off for you this time!!!

See, you can get an education on the Hub. Interesting one FL

Eeeeuuuuwwww He belongs with those pics of the anorexic girls!!! Scary...

Butafly....your max HR is the HR you'll get to and then very nicely bring up. Most tests for cyclists work out your Lactate threshold, which is when your body goes from aerobic into anaerobic, so you are then producing more lactate acid than what your body can get rid of. From my experience if you are VERY unfit, you will feel like you are dying at lactate threshold whereas when you are fitter you can happily go over that and hold it for quite a while quite easily. So if you have been training normally and your resting HR is normal but you can't get to your max... I'd probably say take some time off. But if you are overtrained normally your resting HR is also a bit higher than normal. And as stipulated earlier....min and max HR is a very personal thing and you can only tell your specific fitness level from it if you know yourself...everyone is different here so I can't tell you if 43 is low or high for you etc etc!!

IanC, I know The Cycle Hub on Kliprivier may do monthly payments!! 011 432 2280 Have a chat to Wendell Bole. Or SA Olympics...though they are a bit of a strange bunch!!
