I hate that smug cheesy look that Arnie gives off, sorry, not for me.

I don't have that problem' date=' I am too slow [/quote'] You'd be a lot faster if you didn't ride that ........ ag I give up BigBen What a pity I won't be at crater, it won't be my first year on a Stumpjumper . The one race I was going to try and give BB carrots

I don't have that problem, I am too slow

I can't believe I am wasting my 100 th. post on this. Gaan skyt op die ys BigBen You are just scared you might want one

That white stem just looks wrong on an all mountain bike A nice white Ritchey WCS ' date='now all I need is the handlebar [/quote'] And a 'proper' XC bike will also help Had a few of those. I will let you take Blingola out one day

Bling bling all the way

Size looks good I recognise the build kit.

GIRR Are you really 18

When the wheel is out, put in a spacer, that little bit of forward movement won't make any difference. The only real benefit is to protect the lever in a crash.

So that is not your medical kit year I remember the X-Terra kit, sleeveless shirts right. Last year I also saw you with takhaar up the one tar pass fixing a puncture, day 2 I think.

Epic 2 as in 2005 ?

Here I am thinking I could convince you that BAAAAAAAArunnnn and I were playing with stinkbombs

A very dear friend of mine raced in the TDF this year, things are tough out there and needless to say, if your inherited talents stretch far enough, you will and can make it, training hard is not the only requirement to be a toprider. GENE POOL. I think you have a gripe

BigBen Are you then saying my pre-ride meal of cooked baked beans, viennas and pasta is not good enough

Not in the office yet, sitting here gobbling my meusli trying to kick off my day

Spud I am a lazy rider, half the time my legs beg me to speed up

We are meant to walk and run , but we aren't meant to ride bikes If you have even a moderate arch you would need to support them and staighten out your riding position. Everytime your foot comes in for the downstroke you arch looks for support, the natural thing to do is tilt inwards, which pushes your knee towards the frame, look at your leg the next time you ride. This can give you an imbalance in the workings of your quads, ie: a quad muscle that can get overworked and become tight which then aggravates the problem and adding to this the increasing of your mileage possibly. I could also be wrong.

Ask my partner from my first Sabie-X what a feast we had on the bike

Astana It looks like the ITB area judging by these picks. If that is the case, it could be a tight hip flexor or a tight or stiff quad. How pronounced are your arches ?

Water, water, water and then a bit of froot cake.

Sunlight and warm water, rinse with a gentle hose, use parrafin with a paint brush on the chain and cassette, petrol cleans too agressively. Polish the bike afterwards with Mr. Min.

Somehow I think you should be fine.
