turtlek Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 i have been using the Linebreak comp garments for about 9 months now they seem to help with muscle fatigue after a training session or race but for actual muscle releif you will need to go for a proper massage and if you look back in the classifieds one of our hubbers is the distributor of the rockets compression stuff

Christie Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 I've tried some compression garments, Im not convinced, I've stopped using them.
Rhodent Posted July 14, 2008 Author Posted July 14, 2008 Christie : why so? no improvements? Rocket came back to me....350 for leggings, only problem is they're in cape town...

boeing Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 There is no evidence that they work! Just some inconclusive lab results!
Spinnekop Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 I use Linebreak.They work!! They are in Kimberly and ship anywhere in SA within a day. Great service at a good price. Did I mention they work??
IanJ Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 I use Rockets and they work for me, helps alot with recovery. Only thing I find is that my legs feel a bit sluggish at first the next day so you need to warm up properly if racing.
Dirty Twin Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 I use Linebreak. They work!! They are in Kimberly and ship anywhere in SA within a day. Great service at a good price. Did I mention they work?? Is that Shane Schonegeval?
The Saint Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 I use Rockets and find that they help. They are based in Cape Town but will ship anywhere in the country.

Is that Shane Schonegeval? Yes sir! I phoned them the afternoon at 2 and got my pair the next morning at 9 in Pretoria. I received a shirt from them as well. Now THAT is one of the best things I got EVER!I helps keeping the wind out in the winter months. It helps with recovery and controls temperature. Spinnekop2008-07-15 00:29:47
RABUBI Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 I use iceman for recovery, R40 per pot, works like a charm. After a ride, lie in a bath for a good 20 minutes, then dry and apply. Cools down your legs, feels actualy like they are on fire O ja, do wear shorts when you massage this into your quads, you realy do not want this stuff anywhere near your b**ls. Use it, dont use it...
