  1. Hi, Had the same problem last season. Saw a podiatrist at the sports science institute in CT. Made special inserts. Just a waste of money. Problem only surfaced after 80Km on a bike. Replaced the special inserts with Green Cross inserts bought at clicks for R12 Problem went away
  2. For goodness sake,I think we spend way to much on bicycles. For R33K I could buy a good used car, and still give the guy on his Cervelo a 1 hour head start and still beat him to the finish line
  3. Ride aluminium.....it makes you fitter
  4. Ride it till it breaks. Your LBS will tell you differently
  5. Following the other thread about the price of bicycles. How stupid have we become. I thought we only scan animals and human beings!
  6. 2% impossible. You sure it's not 20% . How do you guys get down to single digit % body fat.
  7. Hi, Has anyone any thoughts on the 2 different wheelsets?
  8. @Ferrous Oxide What is your comments on those dura ace wheels?
  9. Because it's Polar...that's how they make their money. Now what would happen if cars expire.....
  10. c'mon no one in the Ottery area that rides alone on weekends that needs a training/cycling partner
  11. I can get this crap at a chinese shop for R20. Saw it yesterday
  12. Hi Anyone cycling from the above areas on weekends, please let me know
  13. Hi, Has anyone experience with these wheels? How does it compare to similar wheels in it's class? I'm around 87kg, so I'm not sure whether these wheels will carry my weight for any length of time. Is there any REAL difference to be noticed when climbing ompared to the Easton EA90 SLX?
  14. Hi Desmond Did a scan through the hub and saw that you did own a set of SRAM s30s, but you sold it very quickly again. Was there a reason? With what did you replace it?
  15. I see CRC is selling the SRAM S30 for R3068.54. Is this correct?
  16. I train during Lent and fast as well no problem
  17. Has anyone bought this wheelset? Any feedback? What was the price?
  18. maltodextrin and fructose is dirt cheap. If you know someone working at a pharmacy ask them to get it for you. The mark on these stuff is more that 100%. I normally get mine from a friend who gets it at cost.
  19. Hi Woofie The link can be found below. I have used the concoction with excellent results. I use it mostly during racing and avoid simple sugars during training. The point of the post was to show how we are being ripped off. As for Hammer and all the rest, way to expensive. Better ways to spend my hard earned cash http://outsideonline.com/outside/bodywork/200707/hydration.html
  20. Anyone notice how the 1L Powerade concentrate has shrunk to 750ml and now makes 4.5L instead of 5L. This at the same cost as the previous 1L concentrate The marketeers claims more vitamins. How naive. I can get my vitamins from a pill if need be. Another consumer ripoff I think
  21. Anyone notice that the 1L Powerade concentrate has shrunk to 750ml and now makes 4.5L instead of 5L. All this comes at the same price as the previous Powerade which made 5L. The marketing ploy is that it contains "more vitamins". Another case of consumers being ripped off I think. Moving over to Energade
  22. For us down south it becomes a mission having to send the unit off, hoping and praying that it doesn't get lost in the post Here is a link on how to fudge your HR transmitter http://forums.roadbikereview.com/showthread.php?t=108158
  23. This friggin iritates me. If Polar insists that the unit must be sent in for battery replacement, then just buy another product where you don't have to do this!!!!
