Watched a short clip last night where he is racing I think in 2005 and the commentator says, "Even the tar suspects him of doping". I couldn't stop laughing at that comment.

If it stays on the same constant strength and it prety tough then you have over tightened it onto the wheel.

My boy Thor on the way home from training. He is now 14 months and a properly strong little dog. Thinking of putting him in agility as he is so quick and catches on very quick. He outsprinted my trainers dog who does agility comps the other night.

I have carbon everything on my MTB except the seatpost. Too nervouse that thing goes snap and get initiated. For 50grams i dont think its worth it. Just got myself the Fizik seatpost and it is pretty i think. http://www.fizik.it/en/accessories/seatposts/Cyrano/

I suppose its such a view of what fits one best. I will try on some more shoes and see what is best for me. Thanks for the views and opinions.

Thanks for the answers, i like the Suplest but have a different foot pattern so i need to try them on first and am in Joey's. Will look at the other options, i have Gaerne at the moment although they bottom of the range.

Hi All, Just bought myself the new Look S-Track (thanks CWC). My question is with regards to the shoes. I have about R 1 500 for new shoes and was wondering what peoples suggestions are. I am not the strongest rider and will walk certain sections (very technical or very steep items). So i dont plan on doing too much trekking but its going to happen from time to time. I am a bit confused and not sure weather to get descent shoes for R 1 500.00 (any suggestions welcome) or to put in more money and get some carbon soles. I have not found anything i like yet. Shimano shoes state that the are SPD compatable, does this rule them out?

Mankele was his favourite place to ride, surely the main event should be held there? I would definitely be in as well.

Hi All, i am looking at selling my frame/Fork and Wheels as i have a 29er frame i would like to build up. What do you think i would get for the following. Trek 2010 9.8 hardtail (this has done 500km's max) only finished building it up in July this year and haven't done much riding since. This will come with headset and crank bearings. 1.2kg's RST First air platinum (1.5kg's) serviced last year but done minimal riding since (injury/work) XT wheelset with Continental mtn King 2.4 tubless (these have done about 3 000km's but still in fantastic condition and services less than 500km's ago) Any figures would be appreciated. Thanks I cant seem to load pics, but there are 2 pics of the bike on this link. https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/118130-white-bikes-only-thread/page__hl__white%20bikes__st__80 post #95 on page 6

Do you track your calories in and out, because that is the only thing that matters with weight. A high protein low carb diet can assist, but what helps as well in upping your good fats. You must also try to up your metabolism, do you eat every 2.5 to 3 hours? Maintain a steady inflow of food and your body wont see the need to hold on to any excess nutrition.

So im running 2.4 Mountain Kings on my 26"steed. So i have effectively got the same size rotation as a 650B?

I am not sure of the full reasons why my HR spiked to 213bpm, As i said i had been sick and i only did 10km's as i stopped riding and my average for that was 184bpm. I was only in the 200's for less than a min, remember i felt terrible so i took a breather. My normal rides i constantly get to 187 - 189 and i dont feel like im going to vommit just taking strain up the climb. Think the formula with me getting a 193 must be very close. If im healthy and my rate hits 213 again i will go straight to do a test and see. Thanks for all the helpful responses.

I would have asked to adjust her strap for her cause of the eratic HR showing on my unit.

Definately not the shirt, my shirts are tight. Now i just have to get used to doing those long boring Zone 2 workouts again

Hi guys, thanks for all the responses. So my max is 193BPM, i think that is a lot closer to what it should be. Thanks Antonj for the formula. I have done a max out test on my Garmin edge 500 and pushed it to 194. I wasnt under any power lines or near any power at all when the 213 happened. must have been because i was getting over the flu. SwissVan, that is my little staffie Thor. Now 7 months and a crazy hooligan. One of the most loveable dogs i have ever owned.

Hi, Over the past i have on a hard ride maintained a Heart Rate of 165 - 180 over a 2 hour period. With rides like this my average would be just below 170 and max at like 190. A few weeks ago i was getting over flu and took an EASY ride, my HR was elevated the whole time(i do understand thi is because i was sick), but spiked all the way to 213. I am 28 and in good physical shape. The question i actually wanted an answer to was, how high is a very high HR and could i then use this as my max HR for training.

There once was a man called Lance, Who road in the Tour de France. He beat all the best, past every test, And doped just like all the rest.

I dont really care if Lance is guilty or not. I do believe that this whole debacle is rediculous though. I still think that dopping in sports should be legalised but monitored as you will always get the idiots that overdo it and kill themselves (although i believe in the darwin theory), but you will also get the ignorant yougsters overdoing it. To be the best you still have to train and diet and act like the best, plus have the genetics. The doping only assists a small percentage of all of that.

Thank goodness i have never had this problem. XT rims, Continental Mt Kings Tubeless and a dual action hand pump and i get it done. I agree with Eldron about not letting the tyre rest. also try pinching the tyre to the rim on one side.

I would do that but i have a desktop at home, would these applications work on an IPAD. I could always transfer the info from my PC to the ipad and then use it like that.

Its cool thanks, im sure one of my friends can just download it for me.

Thanks again, will have to make a plan to download this.

Thanks TNT, So i would need to buy it then. Any idea on the size of the download, doesnt show me the size at all. GTC shows me it is 44MB.

Hi Guys, I want to use SportsTrack for my edge 500. The problem being i dont have internet at home, only my IPad and i am limited to 15mb downloads at my office. Is there anywhere i can get this on disk. I also see its free on some sportstrack sites and $35 on another. Any help would be appreciated.

Ask him how he feels about making money out of Lance and trying to destroy his reputation at the same time. Sure they all doped, but he has had more interest in his book because he reveals things about other people.
