chris_w_65 Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 Well i am about 80 kgs weight plateau at this levels for the past three years. I am going to change gym program to include explosive power excersizes after the wedding. Staying on the west rand thus I do my fair share of climbing do not know the total climbing as I have a normal speedo and normal polar. All my routes that I do use for training has quite a few climbs. Personally I think I need a stiffer frame to better utilize my power as I think my frame is a little bit to flexable. As they always say the correct equipment make a job so much easier. PLEASE KEEP THE ADVICE COMMING! FYI BMI is about 10 - 12 on the virgin active maschines (know you can actually trust those maschines) I still struggle up hills. 173cm / 71kg
chris_w_65 Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 no.. a 29er will do the trick... regardless of the fork. i will however recommend a through-axle... I tried a 29er, I was disapointed that it didn't levitate or go up hills without pedaling
MTB_Roadie Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 lol...now I feel bad, I am 184cm / 92kg....struggling to lose that last 10kg's
Zeps Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 I think the squeaking must be a Spaz thing :D Kid prepare for a swift clip to the ear next time we meet tjop
Zeps Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 Hey Big Boy, I was going to ignore your stupid remark about a compact crank, but then I thought wtf, what bullsh*t is this, why the f*ck would people point and laugh. Just because they point and laugh at you? Nothing wrong with a compact crank setup dude, you ride what you wanna ride.By the way, my Tarmac S-Works is fitted with a compact crank, and it suits my style perfectly. Point and laugh at me and people will think that you are going nuts and are probably hysterical! You didn't notice the after the first statement? Chill dude, I assume the second statement was also useless
