Does is only count if they are yellow lycra booties?

 

Any colour booties

 

fixed ;-)

 

You need to pay more attention to the elites at MTB races..... (And some A-batch lycra clad wannabees who are afraid of getting their shoes dirty...)

Lycra boots to go over shoes for posers. Also used for diving in cold water to keep your feet warm...

 

In any water if you are using decent fins

aaaahh..... therein lies my misunderstanding, I'm never high up enough in the field to see these types of riders. Where I stand they're normally wearing baggies and t-shirts and generally have hairy legs.... some of them are even smoking a joint before we start rolling

Shouldn't you roll it then smoke it?

A few years ago on the Hub there was a recurring joke about yellow lycra booties...

As a noob would it be better to go 26 or 29er? Full sus or HT? 3x9, or 3x10, or 2x10, 1x9, or 1x10, or 1x1. Would a power balance bangle make me faster? Does it matter if i wear it on the left of the right wrist, or in my pocket? Is the force field enhanced by livestrong bands? What is potential interference of lycra or baggies? Should i shave my legs for speed or would the hair in fact decrease turbulance and make me faster?

:clap: :thumbup: In my batch they stop during the race to light up. A Hansa in the Camelbak pocket is also not an uncommon site :w00t: I noticed the booties when some **** took a dislike to my oversizes shirt, baggies, and hairy legs and my steed and kept on shouting "Trek please! Trek!" even though I corrected him and told him I was riding a Mongoose...

My testing has shown that a power balance bangle in your cubby hole WILL lower fuel consumption as for the rest I have no frikkin idea ....
