Can I wear a normal t-shirt with the shorts? Or should I also get one of those duathlon shirts? Perhaps jog with cycling shirt?

Will do.

Thanks, will try to get some at a sportmans warehouse...

Hi What shorts should I wear for a duathlon? Should I wear padded cycle shorts and jog in them, or wear normal jogging shorts and cycle without them being padded?

I raced in the Suikerbosrand Route 41 race this weekend. What a great race. I got a puncture early into the race and hence was passed by a lot of cyclists. After replacing the tube I got back on the track. Unfortunately I was caught behind a lot of guys pushing their bikes uphill and downhill. Which is fine, because honestly, we all do. However, what really annoyed me was the amount of people pushing their bikes in the track and walking in the other track (duel track). This meant that whoever wanted to cycle couldn't and had to get off and push behind them. I would think that it is common courtesy to push your bike off the cycling track? Am I the only one annoyed by this?

Besides, notice how many men are cycling on pink ladies bikes. Surely didn't buy the bike and yet nobody stops them to ask...Why would anyone then bother to scan micro dotted bikes?

It results in stiff competition!

Do you guys buy tires online or at the lbs?

I've been riding on my kenda tyres that came with my el-cheapo bike now for a year. No sidewall issues as yet after plenty of races! Touch wood!

Chatted to another guy that says Rennies help...Apparently in a minute or 2.

Thanks Brighter-Lights Great insight into a common problem. I'll definitely start doing longer rides.

I must admit, I use to cramp earlier in a race than I do now. So, its training, training, training...

Hey, and they are the only sweets that don't give me heartburn! I do drink a lot of water though...Justin2009-03-31 01:18:59

Hi My fitness is quite good at the moment, however, after about 2 hours or so of hard riding I can feel my legs wanting to cramp. Is there some training I can do to stop this or should I take some supplement?

Hi Johan I have a crap RST Gila shock. However, I will like to know how to service it as well. Can I also attend?

I'm in! Sounds like a blast.

Jeez, thanks for the help! I think I will contact my lbs and have them worry about the fittings and so forth... They won't be able to fit parts that don't fit...

I've got the following...Mongoose Tyax Comp 2006... http://www.bikepedia.com/Quickbike/BikeSpecs.aspx?Year=2006&Brand=Mongoose&Model=Tyax+Comp&Type=bike And I want to fit this... http://www.totalcycling.com/index.php/product/parts_accessories/groupsets_mtb/lx_group_disc.html

Sorry for my stupidity on the matter, but where would I be able to find out which adapters are required?

Ok, so if it does have place for 6 bolts, do the discs simply screw into them?

Hi I'm looking to convert to disc brakes. My frame seems to cater for the caliper fitting, however, will I have to change my wheels to be able to take the discs? If not, how do I attach the disc to my wheel? Please help...

Hi guys and gals I have been following the thread on HT vs FS and have decided to keep my HT and upgrade my components. However, I'm not sure if all components fit any frame. Will any fork, crank, derailleur fit any frame? Can I buy any component set on the internet and expect it to fit my frame? Please help

Hi What is more advisable. An expensive hardtail or a cheap dual suspension? Perhaps with the idea of upgrading the components of the dual suspension in a year's time... Justin2009-02-24 08:54:49

Oh sorry, for MTB.

Hi What is the preferred puncture prevention option? The hard tape on the inside of the tire or the gel that is pumped into the tube? Thanks
