no calves Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 We have all seen those band aid thingys the pro's (Kevin Evans is a big user of them) stick on the bridge of their nose to help open airways. I have also seen some of the euro pro's stick stose buds in their noses dunked in some substance. my Question is: anybody know what that substance is??? and no i am not looking for an answer like rocket fuel...
Mojoman Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 I recall reading something about sniffing menthol/mint doing something to open up your airways?
Mojoman Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 Pista is right: http://www.bikecyclingreviews.com/Riders_nose.html
Spinnekop Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 Eucalyptus Oil More specificly "Olbas"You can get it at the pharmacy. One of those spring loaded plasters on the nose and a dab of Olbas oil on the cloves right on the spot where you rub your nose and you won't have issues for a while.

SwissVan Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 I cannot believe how long those nose plasters have been around, worse than the power balance things. Do people actualy buy them and believe they work (from a sporting perspective) If that was true them the surely philomon platneus has the potential to be a world champion cyclist
TNT1 Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 @OP, Salbutamol. Get a TUE. Lots of us have asthma....
TNT1 Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 Eucalyptus Oil You meant evening primrose oil, and you don't understand what EPO does, do you?
Paul Ruinaard Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 I Agree on Olbas. I use it in winter especially to clear airways.
