Go see Jeroen Swart at Sports Science institute in Newlands. He set my mtn bike cleat slightly back on my one foot. I have a 9mm difference leg length diff.
I had already had a full body scan to measure the bones and the podiatrist had made special inserts. These were heel based so couldn't really have worked.
I understand that you need a different brake pad for a carbon wheel and a normal wheel.
What does one do if you are swapping between training and racing wheels ?
Do you get pads that don't discriminate ?
I had some shirts done by Anatomic. We went with the 3.4 zip shirt. (Same as the cyclelab shirts)
They did the order at short notice in time for the Sani which was great.
The initial quote was a bit different to what we eventually paid (typing error on their part) their was a small shipping slipup but otherwise it was ok.
Their minimum order is 10 units and the whole exercise cost appox R3800.
I think that tyre pressures are pretty critical when running tubeless so it may be that. A 26 inch tube works fine - just give it a bit of a stretch when fitting.
mmm - not sure. in my case, i guess that it's more the benefit of riding with a group (not necessarily the coaching group). that said, i do know quite a few guys who use a program riding entirely on their own.
Get a coach to do you a training program. It worked for me - I started riding in Sept with the aim of doing the DC. Had a ppa seeding of Q and am starting the Argus in B. PM me if you need details John H2009-01-27 09:08:00
I got mine cause I'm quite tall (191) and figured (Well Dick did actually) that my leg is 29/26 times longer than most mtn bikers.
That said, they do go over things pretty nicely. Remember that you do lose a bit of gearing with the bigger wheel so up your tooth count on your biggest sprocket at the back.
