GIRR Posted February 21, 2009 Share or go and buy that plastic film from a chemist (can't remember what it is called and leave it on for 2 weeks. It will form a "bag" of serum that promotes healing. I wonder about that fil/plaster thingies. A friend of mine had them on his wounds for a long time and evenutally it will start to get inflamed since you can't clean all dirt out of the wound. It looks quite nasty.what do the peeps with a medical background say? I've used those after a bad crash, I put new ones of that plastic film stuff on every 5 days I think for like 3 weeks (those were some seriously deep roasties). They definintely helped me heal faster and I had relatively minimal scarring afterwards. Oh ja when you have to take them off you will be seriously happy you shaved you legs and dont have hair on you hips etc...GIRR2009-02-21 11:47:32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtlek Posted February 21, 2009 Share They called Op site and they work well with or without the brown stuff basically all that is required when you replace them is for you to dry them and remove dead skin so that it is not going to cause infection while under the plaster and they must not be cut under any circumstance!!!

I used that aswell, from what I remember that brown gel is expensive and kinda dissolves into a fluid under those clear plasters (hence the looks pretty nasty).

Slowbee Posted February 21, 2009 Share is "developement cyclist" (sic) a euphemism? No' date=' not a euphamism! I said developement rider, and that's what I meant.[/quote'] then explain the quotation marks in the subject line? 'developement' riders being youngsters that are relatively new to the sport. Assisted/sponsored up-and-coming cyclists. In a state of sporting advancement! They are identifiable as developement cyclists by their kit. Don't split hairs Holy. Stick to the point. These guys cause weekly accidents. Bad ones. More so than usual. They do not take any cognizance of their fellow riders, nor their own, safety. I believe that if a sponsor is going to put their company's name and logo all over a cyclist, they should also put some effort into ensuring said cyclist is not a menace in a race. Be it with training or in any other relevant manner. hats off to you pickles ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeremyd Posted February 21, 2009 Share EEEIIINNNAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!Funny, I was talking to a guy last night who manufactures motorcycle gear and we were talking about how it protects these guys when they fall. We got onto the subject of cyclists falling and how little lycra does to protect us. He and I are going to get together to see about making stretch kevlar cycling gear which apparently (and I only say apparently at the moment) will prevent what you're seeing in the pics (the roasties and not the falling obviously). Are we on a hiding to nowhere or do you think that this may have merit? jeremyd2009-02-23 03:46:17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before coming up with a new idea, ask yourself if a world champion would use it/wear it. The top riders' actions influence the rest of the sport. Rather work on a better roastie treatment so we don't all give differing yet similar advice which can be confusing.

Edition 507 Posted February 21, 2009 Share You capies sound a tad racists there! From this posting on the hub and the ones before this one, can I safely assume no other crashes ever occur in CT besides the ones caused by 'development' riders? Jeez in Gauteng there are crashes every week in our races, so would it be correct to say that the whiteys in Gautend ride their bikes like blacks or that the whiteys in CT are just exceptionally gifted riders that it is just not possible for them to cause any crashes? Skye, I sincerely hope Glyn tells you exactly where to shove your complaint! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
