How much? What spec?

+1 I also find this confusing I also dont get the own zone, some days the polar says I should train between 75% and 85% then the next day it say 52% to 70% why??????

Looks similar to the Treks, Full floater, Split pivot, the rocker link looks similar.

Also look at the Epic expert, it is one down from the sworks and is half the price.

Trek Remedy or Slash,

Do you know which "big boys" they make for?

Most appealing thing about the fs desing is that it seems to be a copy of the FSR system (horst link) used by Spez.

USN Epic pro, has a good mix of everything Low GI High Gi Pepto pro Electrolites. I have been using it for a while now and I have had good results.

Who sells Ibis in SA?

I am not an expert but I have read that the reason why spinning bike are not recomened is because they have not relationship to the gearing and feel of an actual bike, 1. No gears= resistance is purely perceptive 2. The fly wheel carries the momentum which is far greater than the momentum you would carry on a real bike I have never heard of any objection to IDT's besides the mind numbing boerdom they create. Other than that rollers and IDTs (where an actual bike is used) are supposed to improve the pedaling effciency of the rider according to what I have seen

Thanks I try to follow it but when it says I must only go at 72% and on the day I feel strong I struggle to just sit at 72%, it very very rarely says I should go above 85% so I have done little trainign in this zone. At the 3 towers my avrg hr was super high Day 1 - 159bpm= 86% Day 2 - 156bpm= 84% Day 3 - 1534pm= 83% So surely it shoudl let me train in these zones? Maybe the zones are not set up correctly?

I have a Polar Rs800. It has the own zone feature: described below: The OwnZone determination in Polar heart rate monitors and training computers is based on heart rate variability (R-R-interval) measurement during exercise and it is a result of an extensive research co-operation between Polar Electro Oy and international research groups. Heart rate variability (HRV) has traditionally been referred only in medical research in patients. Polar got interested in HRV in the beginning of 1990 when a Russian scientist presented his findings to the Polar R&D department. In 1993 Polar started research co-operation with the Merikoski Rehabilitation and Research Center, Oulu, Finland, to find out if HRV could be useful also in healthy subjects at rest and during exercise. I have been told that if I want to optimize my fitness I must just folllow the own zone indicators on the watch. 90% of the time the own zone says I should train between 58% and 78% of HRM Is this not too low? In order to improve speed and stength surely I need to push it to 90% at times?

If you going carbon go Easton, they make really good carbon stuff.

Go to Cycle lab william nicol it costs R180. I had my shoes done there are they fit like a glove now.

Rouxtjie here riders the hi fi pro, but he throws it around like a rag doll, klapped it on the single track at 3 towers.

This is the first time I have heard a GF rider saying go for another bike. Why do you recon the anthem is better?

When is the next ride before you buy day?

When is the next ride before you buy day?

I corrected it

That explains why the people at the Bike shops always look at me funny when I say STI reffering to Sram In that case I got a new shifter?

Happened to me, the lever broke clean off. Had to get a new shifter

Are they still around? Will they be coming back anytime soon?

Polar protrainer 5 and Polarpersonal trainer.com has more data than I could every use

Okay so far all positive

I am looking to put a new seatpost on my MTB (yes I am trying to save a few grams) but not at the expense of reliabilty. I have a KCNC pro lite TI on my road bike and I dont worry about it breaking or snapping at all. But the abuse an MTB takes vs. the road bike is a different story does anyone have some words of wisdom to share on 1. Is the KCNC on an MTB a bad idea? 2. What seat post would you recomend Current set up I am using a Bontrager RL 400mm 0 degree offset post at the moment, it works 100% but it is on the heavy side. I am below 90kgs and I like to ride at places like VG / rietvlei and I will be doing the 3 towers to give you an idea of the type of terrain i will be riding.
