  1. Maybe you are sub consciously tensing your neck and shoulders when u ride, I do that sometimes and then have neckpain towards the end of a ride, Not a size issue I think. Just check yourself when you ride I catch myself doing it without knowing.
  2. Shimano Shifting is not 1:1. SRAM shifts easier because of that. recently changed from Shimano to SRam shifters and Deraileur and will not change back. Luv SRAM. Found that when I went throug Mud Shimano shifting started to slip, No such problem with SRAM. Wonder if their Road stuff is that Good?
  3. 7am Please, Reason: Still dark at 06h30, not a morning person
  4. Giordana or Pearl Izumi, if you can find them
  5. Did the 54km (60km), agree starts have to be staggered it will give everyone the opportunity to really ride. Not to technical and some really nice spots, route for me was very well marked, much better than Monster, all in all a nice ride. Waterpoints made a real effort. BUT PLEASE Mnr Pienaar and Co Can we stagger the starts.
  6. Mad Dog, are you guys riding this weekend, would like to join.
  7. Just did the calc and it congratulated me for being in a certain LSM, Think they should have given condolences
  8. Only saw the thread now, will also join
  9. Had it done in 2001, better than battling with contact lenses. Had burred nightvision from approaching cars and robots for about a year, that's a side effect but only in some people. Pretty standard op these days, the procedure is weird though.
  10. Problem with Olympic shoes is that their grip is bad and you cam easily slip with them, but they are nice and wide, also try Nike YVR (If you can still get them) and Northwave.
  11. Endurashake
  12. Will also be there
  13. Kansas, I am no expert but try this:load for 3days before the race (this depends on the distance and time you want to do but play around) and then on race day have breakfast, oats etc , before the race I drink 250ml of my mix that I race with, I then only drink on the race and do not use gels, alternatively you can use gel with water, and loose the mix. After the ride also have 250ml recovery drink. BUT the best is to ask someone in the know, not the dude in the supplement aisle at Dischem who lifts small cars as a hobby but a nutritionist that knows their stuff and understands what the body needs. I tried all sorts of stuff but found that the stuff from Pace and Power as previously said works for me but you need to experiment and drink all sort of vile sh!t to find what works.
  14. Firstly if you load I would not use USN-personal perefrence but just do not trust their stuff. Agree with FF would not carbo load if the event is less than 3.5-4 hours, but would have a high Carb b/fast. Try Endurashake from Pace and Power (In Fritz Pienaar at Sunninghill),best tasting as well. Mini Hijack: What's the tasting supplement? for me it is Cytomax Recovery drink-I think this is what nuclear waste tastes like
  15. Thought so, Thx OW
  16. Have you asked the Local Caxton Newspapers to do an article asking for witnesses? Hope that he recovers and that the F#cker who did this gets caught!
  17. They were on the bike when I got it about a year ago but took them off, now I need new tyres so they are going back on. Just cant remember which one was front and back , Problem is Para that I have 1x Crossmark and 1x Ignitor so I cant remember which one was front and rear. Looking at the two I would say the Crossmark looks more general purpose so it could go wherever?
  18. Which One is best for Front and which one for Back? My thinking is Ignitors in Front and the Crossmarks on the Back? Right or wrong?
  19. BB data for Livesharing is about 150Kbits per Hour' date=' so work that out from your Package data costs, not that much. Battery Life should be ok for 3hours depending on which phone, last year I did it for 94.7 and the battery life went down to half. [/quote'] A 1H30 94.7? shucks I wish I could do that!!!!! You should be stoked about your seeding for this year? ps: i know it was not what you intended saying/meaning, but .... it is too good to let go Gonna be asking my money back for my education, if I can write a letter that makes sense. No wonder they called me Shortbus at school.

  21. It does not have a GPS, the gps module can be bought seperate but then you are going to ride with a Phone and external GPS module Not worth it, rather Upgrade if you can.
  22. Think it is called Livesharing
  23. With Livesharing: You need to activate it and then also make your Sportstracker Profile public, or be an user and be aded as a friend, then you can view. Not sure about the data cost and Battery Life when you do Livesharing will find out and let you know
  24. Hi Cycling Addict' date=' I assume that you are saving your workout as a .kml file and then emailing it. Firstly do you have a Sportstracker account, makes sharing easy. If you want them to check the route you can replay it, if you are uploading to google earth, it is similar to the Sportracker site that you upload to. [/quote'] Thanks WS - I have a Sportstracker account and use Google Earth - To view via a pc is great but once out on the track it is a bit harder to view - so I guess you must try and memorise the route or print it some how? The oNly way would be to Replay the Route in the Map Options, not much help as I had the same a couple of weeks back when I did a new MTB route with a group and when I wanted to redo again without them I couldnt, would be great if you could do it like a Voice Navigation, maybe an Idea
