perhaps folk just dont know about the cooling effects yet.

seriously? radcliffe wore a cooling vest in Athens, im fairly sure they may have worked out cooling effects of tights

im asking in relation to keeping someone cool rather than recovery

oh no – ive covered my body in UV protecting Sweat wicking material ….. ill probably be colder than if i just had bare skin …..

then why dont we see people wearing long sleeved tops and tights in warm events like triathlons, marathons etc?

are we talking about being dry or being cooled?

ah i see, either way you still end up with tights then

i agree it doesnt get that hot in the UK (after running in Madrid) but ill stick with the running kit im used to (i use 3/4 tights in winter and prefer short shorts tbh) and get tights for recovery

trail rat i reckon anything over your skin is going to impinge its ability to use sweat properly- my humble opinion of course but if sweat evaporating is intrinsic to cooling i would have thought nekkid is the way forward.

lol no but that could describe some alpine weasels 😉

maybe your feet are more at risk being the most distal point? pure speculation on my part and assuming you're properly hydrated etc

obi re reading your reply im still a bit confused by what you mean by not needing recovery?

i know of at least one person who rides along scaryhill to get to mugdock on one of a number of sexy sexy bikes

not to mention the alpine hobos

cheers obi but time demands mean recovery is going to be compromised and runs are going to get stacked up quick. there are no shortcuts to getting the mileage in and if a set of tights means my legs feel a bit better and i can train better then it seems a sensible route.

not sure socks would do that much for me, its to get the thighs and calves feeling decent so i can run couple days on the bounce and also so i dont feel dead if i do a long run rest a day then another long run

um cheers for the helpful advice obi?!

cheers guys, might give the subarmour a look at that price

which tights do you guys use? seem to be a few variations

Hope not, I'm about to put a set on my O-O ti 29er.

they look awesome on any bike ive seen them on, some pretty special repainted indy fab ones…

from here

ride them both but i think for the money you might be bit disappointed with the niner/elated with the swift?

swift + niner forks/sexy wheels would be my choice

showing ladies my bell inevitably ends up with them moving hastily away, you could try the same

😉

Cheers, I just saved £110

bloody nora!

now what can i buy hmmmm

isn't the blurb about it (from turner) something like if you don't know what training zones 4 and 5 are you shouldn't get one?

you're prob right. i think it might be easier to box it up 🙁 endless and more money

Molly? Rosie?

How much does an issue 1 – mint condition go for these days? Last one i saw was ridiculous price on ebay.

same here, silly money (not that it's not good!)

posts were tongue in cheek for gods sake

maybe the replies are too 😉

have we established how this fine officer of the law 'caught out' the OP?

easygirl surely upholding the law is more to do with using discretion and applying it appropriately rather than blindly following it to the letter?
And I would argue that 'having a rant' has no place whatsover if you choose to work in the public sector

Always ask for their number.

def. Gf's dad was asked to move on in no uncertain terms whilst taking part in the hugely dangerous/irresponsible act of being parked in his car and eating an ice cream. The cop was pretty taken aback when asked for his number-can only imagine he wasn't best pleased when the stinking letter came in to the station.

If someone wants to be petty then petty the **** out of them.

EDIT: that isn't my most coherent post to be fair

i like andrewh's reasoning

yeah i reckon i stretched it so much after 1 ride with my manly legs

(or just couldn't be arsed adjusting it for ages)

singlecross looks better without 'foreskin' fork

portly yes but cost:fun ratio is amazing

wow that is pretty special!

speedvagens are lovely, esp like the red blue pink colour scheme

saw kite at SSEC, looked v nice plus can run gears though guess in your case not that important.

Just read the first post, singular mentioned. ah well.

what about a singular kite?

yeah eh prob not going to lay out £16 just to show folk what a ceilidh is not sure if i made it clear, im not trying to show them how to dance just what a ceilidh is the vids on youtube are all either school gym or look pretty dull

cheers anyway

awesome, sounds promising-even if he has a trailer I can link back to a site that'd be great

terry savalas player?

noice

superfly 100 surely?

EDIT: ah i see, thats what you meant sorry 🙁

hmmm can i email the same address as above for a sample? sounds worth trying

think as long as it'll fit the shell, think with shimano the mtb spindle is shorter than on road? maybe its other way round?

been a while since i looked at both alongside but i think there was a prob when thought about doing this before

EDIT: but you're not even talking about a shimano one *sigh* ill get my coat

Nope, don't like it. Plus it's a 29er and don't ask why as I can't say why, but I just don't like any Gary Fisher.

🙁

rockcliffe the site your name links to is pretty beautiful
