see, thats a far more constructive answer

btw I've just seen the pornhub references, I'll have a look in the interests of research

all right girny chops, i was asking for more stretches

i would refer to the original question regarding websites, i need pictures to help me 😛

jimmy when i said figure of 4 i mean a modified version of the pic here

EDIT: or this[/url], see im finding them all on my own now 🙂

stretch them the other way, they;re too tight so need to work them looser

cheers guys

there are still loads of bikes with silly little wheels and gears on them 😉

bikes are fun, 'good' bikes are just more fun

nice to see a consensus. I'll go see a sports physio

Howies website maybe, long shot though.

LMAO

yeah a mate uses vibram barefeet thingies and loves them, funds and time until the race are what worry me going that route

This thread should be on the wiki page for stw forum.

It's so dope, it's gnarly. Right I'm off to bust a move to meet my homies and rail some rad, sick pipes. laters.

i can't see it daffy 🙁

Kitz worth checking out Big bikes[/url] not dissimilar scenario

look no further than the pickled hedgehog[/url] or Dr Jon
plus VCM[/url] is worth a look

Never found anything like what we get in takeaways here though.

can apply that to India too

less than 24 hours until im clear of exams and we can be reunited

aw tazzy

im excited, 2 days of exams kick off tomorrow, fingers crossed no resits and an alcohol fuelled SSUK to round of my last summer of freedom

could try popping them upside down overnight to soak the seals, cheaper than mojo and nowt to lose (assuming nothing leaks onto rotors)

i ride bikes to justify my binge eating 🙁

shit in his car, lock it and leave it with windows closed for the whole day or weekend-with a bit of luck it'll be sunny. Not only will it be hideous smelling but a bugger to clean. HTH

there's no need to call lewis a bitch, Houns 🙂

if you're a cock and you watch football you hit people because you're a cock, not because you watch football. football just seems to attract more cocks

try stocking the ride journal? bit dif and wont be sold by many newsagents in your area (ie none prob)

cars that mount the pavement as you're walking by and give you evils for getting in their way

try your lbs for an 'in the flesh' opinion*

whats the general consensus on fid v moran? ive got some isla in the cupboard been a while since i tried the other 2 and don't have time to get a swally of each before i decide

click my name 😀

when does this run out? waiting to hear back from someone about buying 2nd hand kit

awesome! might bite the bullet on some skins kit

calling sports scientists and physiologists to the forum! step forward please!

Not sure it'll shed much light but fill yer boots

they are cells that secrete sodium and cholride in order to secrete water, i can try put up a couple of lecture slides but not sure it'll make more sense. As I said I only know about how they function in relation to CF but it was because simon said about salt depletion due to sweating rather than dehydration-ie i know if you lose salt then water will follow it but i dont how it interacts with dehydration

i know that in some sweat cells Sodium is excreted and as water follows sodium it goes out and can evaporate (the water) which should cool the body, the sodium should be re absorbed. I don't know a huge amount about it and i know it in relation to CFTR channels in cystic fibrosis rather than in exercise, maybe a sports scientist on here can explain what happens?

LMAO

right im 5 10 and 72 kg so by skins chart im a medium, does that mean i should go for a small??

don't worry epi when i head back to madrid i wont be doing much running 🙂

lol at simon, surely everyone cycling in lycra fits into the latter category

trail rat, yeah i did start wondering about the ventilation (for want of a better description) with running v cycling

did you find much dif between subarmour and skins? they'll just be for recovery not for running in

ive got 42:16 freewheel on my cross bike which is bit steep offroad but fine on road-had 46:16 on another road ss which was bit steep

gil m used to? try a quick search on here

i know trail rat does a lot hence me asking him for more info

because they respond with the authority of international athletes?

ive never claimed to be an expert and ive asked the opinion of people who are using the kit here, when ive not understood the claims made ive asked people to clarify and why paid professionals dont use it in the way you'd expect given the claims. which comes back to why i asked if compression kit is so good at wicking sweat then why dont we see it being used in that role?

didnt think it was a controversial question

tights? or shorts?

my question is that if compression tights are that good at keeping cool as trail rat said then why arent more athletes using long sleeves and tights rather than vests and shorts?

im not suggesting that it doesnt happen but that i thought the real benefits of compression lay with holding stuff tighter and not losing energy etc and with lactate recovery processes and that the keeping cool element is conjectural (in fact i think most of the effects are still under researched?) and more of a side effect than a primary benefit

to be fair most of that belief is based on info from mates who compete internationally and what they've been told by a variety of people inc reps so im open to ideas just dont understand why if theyre so good at promoting heat loss they arent used more widely with that role in mind? hence asking about long sleeves and tights
