Weight Weenie

Any opinions on the herbalife 24 range ?

Post some more shots of course, would be nice to see

I just think the gloves are restrictive in the thumb area so he cut them off. I've had 2 pairs of spez gloves now that have torn at the end of the thumb

As my 1st set of road pedals I'm very happy, but I was looking for something basic. Maybe your needs differ

Still open ?

Hi all Got wind of the new watch they are releasing, mostly aimed at trailrunners, hikers etc. Looks good ! Now this or Garmin Forerunner 910xt ? Hmm... http://www.suunto.com/us/en/about-suunto/news/company-news/suunto-launches-the-ambit-gps-watch

Yip have the Road and MTB BG Carbon Pro models as well. Love them ! MTB shoes going on their 3rd season now. Got the road version recently for a bargain, after trying Shimano and Olympic. There is no comparison. Really fits well for me with the standard insole, specially with my wide and flat feet. Go for it! Doubt there is any comparable carbon shoe on the market at that price.

Go look on DCRainmaker.com he is reviewing a vest that has the HR built in

CWC FTW !

Cat-i as I understand it the XCOSA series is basically the Gauteng North XCO Series for 2012 but I could be wrong

Maxxis Aspens 2.1 folding bead on Stan's Podium MMX Rims. +- 63kg (racing weight) rider. Front = 20 PSI (Dry) / 18 PSI (Wet) Rear = 22 PSI (Dry) / 20 PSI (Wet)

I had the M770 XT brakes on my bike and was never really happy with them. Switched to the 1st R1's that came out (still with magnesium levers) and I've never looked back. Lighter, better looking, powerful with good modulation, no fade for marathon/xc riding. You can get all the replacement bits from CRC, even different colour bits to pimp your ride. What do you want in a brake ? If you are really serious about weight then you need to look at the R1 Race brake as it is the lightest stock model from Formula, with carbon levers and Titanium bolts and the lightweight 6 bolt Formula rotor (not the 2 piece). Otherwise I would recommend the Formula RX for good performance but at lower price and higher weight. I haven't used the new XTR so cannot comment or compare them to the R1's. The R1 will have enough power for you to use a 140mm disk on the rear. You can get R1 bleed kits on CRC and there has been an article on it by bikemagic. Don't see why shops wouldn't be able to do it, I haven't had to have it done anyway. WRT to durability, I have the old model which has given issues with the brake lever sticking when the bolts are too tight that holds the lever in, but the newer models don;t have any issues I know of. Also search the forum there are similar threads that will give you more info. Hope this helps. WW.

Keen on a running pack http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=57139

Hmm they keep taking my money but I don't have any info on these updated requirements. Currently the locks I have are way too thin, though I do have one of the RavX locks so will use that then.

Keen, will let you know once I start riding again

Thanks I'm doing exactly that. Battle we shall !

Ah Ok it was Iron I saw then. Didn't spot the Niner though, but I'm sure there are some pics on the hub ? As for me I had a good time, checking the talent on and off the field and catching up with Lauren, Sean etc. Got an ITB issue so can't ride at the moment which sucks as this was to be my first race of the season. Hopefully it's all systems go for the next one in April

For me 32GI is way too sweet and doesn't suite the shorter more intense activities I prefer. Been using PVM Octane for a few years and I'm quite happy with that as together with gels and coke etc. it suites me well. Tried some Cytomax but the flavour was not to my liking. Would like to give the Accelerate a bash though.

Oh ja that little bridge is a sneaky bliksem ! Last time I rode there with the provincial I just ran it after bottoming my rim the 1st time as well. What bike were you riding ? A Flash ? Think I spotted you WW.

Will def join once I'm done with all the physio etc.

Nicely done !

If they only distract me AFTER the workout, then yes

Hey guys Since I'm injured at the moment I decided it's a good time to do some more swimming so will be following a 12 week plan from tomorrow if anyone wants to join. Swims will be at hillcrest or preferably at the gym pool in the Estate where I stay in Moreletapark. I'm flexible with swim times. Anyone keen ? WW.

Looking for something similiar but seems the Garmin 910xt is the only one to do elevation with the barometric altimeter ?

Hmm so what happened to Speedy then ? Also heard that Rossouw put like 5 minutes into the Kevin, damn if that's true he really is firing on all cylinders
