  2. If its just the battery for the HR strap then do it yourself. I have done mine twice no problems.
  3. Training Load Calculation at Polarpersonaltrainer.com Print 2010/05/21 Polar has introduced a new Training load feature in polarpersonaltrainer.com that tells the user conveniently at a glance on the calendar view how hard the training session was and when the user will have recovered enough for the next session. The training load feature takes out the guesswork, helping the user find the perfect balance between rest and training. With this new feature users can control their total training load, optimize their training by adjusting the intensity and duration of the session, and monitor their performance development. Continuous monitoring of training load and recovery will help recognize personal limits, avoid over or under training, and adapt training program according to daily and weekly targets.
  4. Did the test your iron levels in your blood? Low levels of iron has the same symtoms as over training and it could be that your diet might not be correct.

  7. I got my 96 down to 10.6kgs. Still need to change the handle bar and stem then I am done. Biggest saving was on the wheels/tyres and I went for AM classics with Racing Ralphs. When choosing to make your bike lighter you should mainly look at rotational weight as that will produce the most benefit.
  8. Schwalbe UST Racing Ralph - Front 1.7 bar and Rear 1.8 bar. I want to go Front 1.5 and rear 1.6/7. My body weight is 72kgs at the mo.
  9. I would like 2 give it a go as well because i'm not sure if I would be more suited to XC or Marathon.
  10. SubVets finish (Andreas Studer takes the win)
  11. Christiaan tries again Elite finish (Rob Quinn takes the win)
  12. VETS - Riccardo tries to get away
  13. NOT AGAINNNNNNNNN
  14. Get yourself the following book. Racing Weight: How to Get Lean for Peak Performance. A protein only diet is not safe if you doing high intensity training because carbs is the main fuel which gets stored in your muscles. If you don't eat carbs you won't have any racing fuel and you will burn muscle. Also invest some money in a bathroom scale that gives Body FAT % (about R300 at clicks) and that way you can check if it is actual body fat that you are losing. I have managed to lose 35kgs in 18 months and it is important to follow a balanced diet if you want to stay healthy and improve your overall cycling performance in the long run.
  15. I think this CAPS LOCK tjop broke his keyboard as well !!!! Best thing to do is put your pc back in its box and send it back to supplier.
  16. anyone else have more 2 add?
  17. Elvin ones you pay your PPA membership then you will soon find out just how FCUKed up the seeding system is and then your frustration will turn into full blown anger. But unfortunatly you have no other choice but to join the mafia sad but true.
  18. r u in cape town? I am interested.

    32 vs 34

    When changing to 32 the majority of cassette ratio changes and the benefit of going down to 32 is that the jumps between gears is not as high. I agree with the post that says you can walk faster than trying to grind on your granny + 34
  20. I think my order from Evans Cycles (royal mail) also went lost because its already been 20 days
  21. Chris I think its going to be a massive group because Killarney is cancelled for this Wednesday and I suspect they will all be joining CWC ride tonight. Brace yourself especially with the great weather outside
