Yes - I found the 705 very slow (navigating menus etc)

Is there a big price difference? XT and FOX = Solid combination. Cannot comment on the Team bike as I have no DT Swiss - and very limited X9 knowledge.

Follow the LCHF diet.

The pain started soon after a recent left-hand si joint fusion surgery. The RH si joint was fused 11 years ago after a straddle pelvis fracture. (a Forklift drove over me) I just had injections in the spine to try an relieve the pain. I cannot even sit on a couch - have not even tried sitting on my bicycles

Pudendal nerve entrapment (PNE), also known as Alcock canal syndrome,[1][2] is an uncommon[1][3][4][5] source of chronic pain, in which the pudendal nerve (located in the pelvis) is entrapped or compressed.[6] Pain is positional and is worsened by sitting. The typical symptoms of PNE or PN are seen, for example, in male competitive cyclists (it is often called "cyclist syndrome[5]), who can rarely develop recurrent numbness of the penisand scrotum after prolonged cycling, or an altered sensation of ejaculation, with disturbance of micturition (urination) and reduced awareness of defecation.[9][10] Nerve entrapment syndromes, presenting as genitalia numbness, are amongst the most common bicycling associated urogenital problems.[11] The pain is typically caused by sitting, relieved by standing, and is absent when recumbent (lying down) or sitting on a toilet seat.[12] If the perineal pain is positional (changes with the patient's position, for example sitting or standing), this suggests a tunnel syndrome.[13]Anesthesiologist John S. McDonald of UCLA reports that sitting pain relieved by standing or

Anybody suffering from this condition? Is there a cure? will I be able to cycle again?

I am a back-marker at best, so I cannot comment on rolling resistance etc but I love the comfort and grip. I used to ride with Crossmarks front and back but during last year's Mabalingwe race, I lost the front-end at very low speed close to the finish on a patch of loose over hard. Started my search for a tyre with more grip and bought a Hans Dampf Trailstar 2.35 from CRC. I love this tyre in front of my Anthem 29er Tubeless mounting was very easy on stock rims. Sadly I have not done any riding during the last year due to poor health but I can recommend this tyre.

I need the GPS, which is not available on the FR70

The FR10 seems like a cheap entry into GPS watches. I am also considering my options as my Polar 2007 S725X was damaged beyond economical repair during a fall.

http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2012/11/my-2012-sports-gadget-recommendations.html Running (Budget): Garmin FR10: The competition has been heating up over the last 12 months for the sub-$100 watch category. And while the FR10 costs $29 more than sub-$100, I believe it’s $29 well worth it – primarily due to the Garmin Connect platform and downloadable data that the sub-$100 watches don’t have. The unit has arguably more features than the Garmin FR210 that’s twice its price. And with two sizes (for normal and small wrists) and three colors, it’s the perfect gateway drug into running GPS watches. This unit generally costs about $129 and is available from both Amazon and Clever Training. Running (Mid-Range): Polar RC3 or Garmin FR210: Both of these watches are really solid. Previously I’ve said that I think for 95% of the runners out there, the FR210 works great (primarily for the footpod support for indoor running, as well as basic interval support). However, the RC3 matches most of that and adds more around heart rate training and coaching that the FR210 doesn’t have. The Garmin FR210 costs about $200 and available from both Amazon and Clever Training. The Polar RC3 costs about $270 and available from both Amazon and Clever Training. Note that the Timex Run Trainer is in this same range, and I do recommend it. However, there still continues to be some bugs that cause some people problems there – whereas the above two are generally less buggy. And for those curious about the Motoactv, it’s a solid contender, but the company has more or less pulled out of the market – so it’s hard for me to recommend products from companies they don’t plan long-term support or new features. Running (High End): Garmin FR610: If I had to pick just one running watch to use forever, it would probably be the FR610. It just works, and I can use it as a day to day watch as well (unlike many of the triathlon watches). The wireless downloading via ANT+ means the data is there before I get to my computer, and the touch screen actually works (unlike the olderFR405/FR410 touch bezels, which I despise). Additionally, the falling apart band issues with some of the initial units have been resolved, so that’s no longer of concern. The Garmin FR610 costs about $350 and is available from both Amazon and Clever Training.

I've had a similar experience a week ago. Sealant dried up and left residue on inside of the tyre. With what can I safely clean the tyre? or must I just leave it?

One on my trailer. use it often

I am looking for a slowish group to join in Boksburg. I can ride most mornings.

Beware of the hidden carbs. I've had marinated ribs which elevated my BG significantly. Read the labels. I do not think that a glass of red wine is going to hurt

Look at your Mineral intake, especially salt, zinc and Magnesium (SlowMag) to help with the weakness on the bike Avoid iron in multivitamins unless you have a problem.

I I am on the pump but I started a "pump holiday" in December. (Want to continue holiday for another 3 months) Normally NovoRapid in pump. Now on NovaRapid and Lantus Basal Rate on pump was on 32.3 Started Lantus on 35 and slowly reduced it to 25. Bolus: On pump (and high carb) totals were +- 60 units / day. Now I only need +- 10 units per day. e.g 3 - 4 units to cover my breakfast of either eggs + olive oil or protein / coconut milk shake. I could not find a lot of info on the net regarding T1 Diabetics and ketogenic diets - I've read a lot of books Dr Bernstein, The Art and Science of low carb living and Low carb performance but nowhere is there a good guide on adjusting your insulin. The CDE does not support this diet. My advice: (Your own risk if you follow as I am not a Dr) Too much insulin is bad - it blocks the process of burning fat so you want to use as little as possible (but you want to maintain blood glucose levels of between 5 and 9.) Limit your carbs to 20g / day. Try and eat nil carbs for dinner. (sald with meat and olive oil) If your wake-up bg is high, you need more basal. Post meal highs = more bolus Test, test, test - especially during your rides. (I go through 5 boxes of strips / month) Keep those mini Super C packets available at all times BUT do not overreact. Your body will metabolize fat and release a whole lot of hormones if you go into a hypo. If you feel a hypo coming on - wait and test + retest. I used to get nervous and ate a lot of carbs when I felt a hypo - only to cause a hyper. Now I wait - normally I recover automatically even from 4.0. BUT if you go below 3.5 - eat 5 Super C's and reduce tomorrow's insulin. Only adjust your insulin every two days to give your body a change to adapt. and make small changes. Do not go from 35 basal to 25 in one day. Cycling: Keep your intensity low. (I've activated a heart rate alarm @ 70% of max) - I actually stop and wait to recover. This is a frustrating process but it is achievable. Keep a log. Spreadsheet works fine Eat the same things @ the same time for few weeks to see patterns. Email me your log and I will gladly assist.

I am a type 1 diabetic. (Previously not well controlled) I've been sick since September. Landed up in hospital with pneumonia and just didn't recover since. I've been on 2 courses of antibiotics per month and lots of cortisone. My weight ballooned to a very unhealthy 112 kg. The last MTB races (Trailseeker) were very challenging. I just could not control my bloodsugar. I had to consume lots and lots of carbs to avoid a very low bloodsugar. I was very weak and my times reflect this. I was too sick to participate in the 94.7:( I started a high fat, moderate protein, low carb diet since 1 December 2012. The first 2 weeks were difficult to adjust to my new eating plan (keto-adapt). My insulin had to be adjusted every day. I started cycling slowly (short duration and low intensity). The duration of my rides were increased steadily to +_ 2 hrs / day. The result after one month: Cycling: I've completed a 4 hour mtb ride yesterday at a moderate pace. During my ride I've only consumed Hammer Endurolytes powder in my bottle and a little bit of salt in my CamelBak. (1/4 teespoon natural seasalt). The Endurolytes contains all the important minerals with almost no taste. Sodium Management is very important on this diet. Only after 3 hours my bloodsugar dropped to 3.3 and I've consumed 5 Super C's (15g Carbs) to lift the bloodsugar. Safari has a "Nut, seed & cranberry" trail mix in 30g packets. (Box of 6) Each serving contains 10g Carbs, 5.8g Protein and 6.8g Fat. I bought a box yesterday - this will be my new on the bike snack on long rides. (3 Hours +) Results after one month: Health: I've lost 5.2 kg in December. I did not touch any of the Christmas goodies and followed my eating plan very strictly. My daily insulin dose was significantly reduced. Diabetes control - improved Asthma - improved Immune system - improved General - I still battle with autonomic neuropathy (long-term diabetic complications) but I am sure the improved blood sugar control will at least stabilize the symptoms. I will post an update in a months' time. The plan is not to participate in the upcoming road races and to first establish a proper base.

VERY NICE!

I've been living without a spleen and one kidney for 12 years. My Immune system is almost none-existent.

Where is this?

I started cultivating and drinking kefir daily a few weeks ago as I've developed serious stomach problems as a result of longterm diabetic complications. I've also been on two courses of antibiotics per month for the last few months. I can honestly say that it helps a lot. (It will not reverse my problems but I cannot go without it) I have water and milk Kefir but I prefer the Milk. I've tried most milks including Raw Goat but I prefer using Woolies' Full cream. Feel free to contact me if you need additional info.

XT

I wanted to buy one about a year ago but I could not find a new one. A Thule salesman told me that Internationally, the Thule trailer designs were not well controlled ant that there were 100's of slightly different specs available. (As I remember this number was close to 1000) According to him, Thule (Int) was busy consolidating the trailer designs and suspended production until a way forward was clear. I do not know what the status is. Look at the Town and Country 210 trailers. Huge inside with a tailgate to ease loading. Mount Thule Prorides on top of your trailer to ensure that your bikes are safe. I.M.O the Jurgens is very well built but the wheelarches take up space.

Do you drink lots of milk?
