Dirtbreath Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 Hey the nike shoes are rocking and i am a firm believer in the theroy and i am biking and running better with them now... Wont be for a long time...there are a few custom shoes out ther like Biomax but they are around R5000 a set... Prototype shoes? What a load of BS. They've been using those shoes in Ten Pin Bowling for years!
Pornstar Posted September 21, 2008 Posted September 21, 2008 Ha haa...yes you right...except that they have cleats on them and weight 183g incl cleats...500g odd lighter per shoe of rotational weight
Kiwi Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 Porn star' date=' how's it going with the Nike shoe prototype? After reading your comments about activation of foot muscles i spoke with a friend who's from a professional dance back ground and now teaches Pilates - she was in total agreement; the stabilizing muscles in the feet often switch off when over supported by modern footwear. When does Nike see the product hitting the market place? [/quote'] I have been told the same thing. I'm doing some weird Pilates foot exercises now to fix years of riding everywhere. After two years of running around trying to find out why I have been injured looks like it was the stabilizing muscles in my feet! What I would do for those Nikes!
AndreZA Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 Well, finally she is almost done.

That is a sweet looking ride mate! In this case the colour co-ordination and choice of parts (IMHO) has been done subtly so as to improve the overall appearance and functionality of the bike and not just to look 'bling'! Well done
Thug Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 Very nice Para !! & I like your BMC markslc01 !!
markslc01 Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 Thanks Thug... I was quite broke after buying it haha
TheLegend Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 my reliable and mostly used steed. 5 gears shimano but the cable/wire broke so I can only use one gear. It used to be my dad's tourer, now it's my commuter. It's a Peugeot and has the coolest bike-bell ever!Seatpost gave me troubles, 3 of them bent until a friend made me a solid aluminum one.

TheLegend Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 That is a Ledgendary bike. oh yeah! happy someone else can appreciate that tough boy! It goes through more sh*t than most hubbers' bikes (in a matter of speaking).
TheLegend Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 Whats a ledgend? I presumed a mixture of ledge and legend' date=' describing the most legendary of all legends because it implys that you are always on the edge, hard core, daring, a real man! or?[img']https://assets.bikehub.co.za/legacy_images/smilies/smiley36.gif[/img]
