EdoardoBianchi Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 Dude, WTF? Looks super-painful! Good luck with sleeping on your side... PS: Sorry I made it sound like we're going to race this morning, didn't mean for you to go this this extreme to avoid the pain!
Napalm Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 A bit bulky, but a light ideal for South African conditions
bob_the_builder Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Sheesh, nasty road rash. But someone call the SPCA, he's traumatising that poor cat.
Marius Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 nah, looks like the po#s likes him in his Bear wear:-P
Rookie101 Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Eina !!!!And I bet the red stuff burned even more!!! IS your wife angry at you Get Plastikspray at pharmacy, makes 2nd skin, keep moisture in, looks bit like blister with all the moist but heals up much faster as well...... I know I'm not long into cycling but had to try it out already, and it works alright!!!
mbaymike Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 eina hel.....remember the tissue oil once the roasties start healing.
The Guy in Pink Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 I also have done most of my training in the dark before sunrise. I use a cat-eye HL-EL320 front and LD 1000 at the back. which certainly help. The potholes got another treatment.As I also ride the same route every day I invested in 5 litre of white road marking paint and a 200mm paint roller. The Potholes on my training route all have a white strip 200 mm wide and 20 metre long in front of them !!

Can we mail you our routes and the GPS co-ordinates of potholes? You do the rest?

Nah, you do your own dirty work. It is really effective though, and has a positive side effect. Road authorities get jolted into doing repairs.
Christie Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 +1 for cateye lights Best thing for roasties IMO is granuflex plasters, after cleaning, before they form scabs.
The Guy in Pink Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Here is waht you need to do to avoid those potholes at 4:30 am Mark them clearly. A litre of paint is a lot cheaper than a rim or even a tire.
pastapouch Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 my experience tells me you went over the handlebar... ouch.
