turtlek Posted July 14, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanJ Posted July 15, 2008 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

RABUBI Posted July 15, 2008 Share 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...
