So these are sat in my garage gathering dust. It’s a pair of Zipp 515 rims, 26” 28 holes from 1997. They’re a carbon fairing bonded onto an alloy brake track and are in excellent condition. Built but never used, so no wear at all on the brake tracks, the carbon is in mint condition, no dents...

Wotcha, spookily, I've just moved to Dunedin recently too. Leaving behind the glamour and class of the north west of England. You're spot on about this weather. These winter days remind me of Preston summers! All my bikes are currently still on a huge boat somewhere in between Singapore and...

Howdy. I’ve got some tyres to get rid of. If I’ve understood Photobucket, then the little pictures should really be fancy clickable thumbnails. Enjoy. Continental Twister Supersonic 1.9 These are my weight-weenie tyres coming in at 327 and 331gr. Great condition. They’re not worn out, there...

This is my point I guess, is the reduction in drag with Obree's machine greater than the power loss? I'm nowhere near clever enough to do the maths on that one!! Interestingly for Obree, there was a recent change in the HPV hour record, it's now up to about 94km/h... the machine that took it...

Yup, it's a five mile run up, then a flying, timed 200m. I've been following Obree's HPV project with some interest. The guy is a legend! The prone position piqued my interest, I figured that in a stretched out, prone position, you're not using your back and leg muscles at their most...

Woah. Sorry champ. S'just that I didn't see the phrase 'inordinantly low or high' as actually adding anything. Inordinantly could mean anything! I mean, what's an inordinantly low or high RHR? 'Cos, you know, it might add something to the thread, like, if inordinantly low is around 30bpm...

So we're ignoring bradycardia now? It's a bold statement, but I'll take your word for it. Thanks Doc.

I hate myself for rising to this.... but.... Ketogenic diets are the best for weight loss. Less carbs means more fat burning, high fat encourages fat burning. If we leave the epileptic kids out of this, perhaps you should consider WHO is on these ketogenic diets in the first place. The problem...

Water. All the way. Sports/energy drinks raise your insulin levels which reduces fat oxidation. If you want to be losing weight at the cutting edge of sports hydration science, the very latest research suggests that a mochaccino optimises your body's ability to burn fat.

I've got on on my SS. The Groovy Disco Stick is only available if you buy a frame, and there's a 5 year wait for those at the mo.... all the other posts, like the Spin one, have no layback - oh, apart from Van Nicholas, they do a nice one! There's the USE Sumo post in Ti too isn't there...

Aye, but the context of this thread, and my comment, was the influence of energy gunk on cramping. For me, as a distance runner, I like a nice vanilla powergel at around 20 miles, although that's mostly just to break the monotony for half a mile rather than to prevent cramping.... Using your...

There’s been a few articles published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine over the last couple of years, all of which agree that sports gels and drinks are expensive, shiny packaged placebos with no influence on whether or not you’re going to cramp up. The official Theory Du Jour on...

Having just build up a set of wheels meself, I bought my spokes from www.rosebikes.co.uk About 45p a spoke for the top of the range DT Revolutions and 30p per spoke for DT Comps. Absolute bargain at half the price of any shop in the UK!!! Sure, they're based in Germany, but the postage was...

Aye, it's in the region of 1750-1800gr. Personally, I find that pretty weighty, but then I handicap myself by running inner tubes for a needlessly extra 170gr... Man... that's a question... officially no. The internal diameter of the stock bearings is too small.... however, if you can source...

Set of Mavic Crossmax Disc/k wheels, all new bearings on the rear - with one ride on them, new freehub and bushings. Front wheel bearings are sound as a pound. These wheels have been used, and the spokes are a little tatty – I think I’ve pictured the worst of it, but structurally they’re fine...

Wow, nice going Rob!! That’s some impressive commitment, and it’s good to see that you’re getting the results you deserve!! I’m gonna chuck in my 2p’s worth in case it helps, I’m currently writing my Masters thesis on obesity in public health and exercise physiology. Basically, current...

First page updated and some stuff added...

Now sold, and description edited for spelling mistake... 'Shinky'?? Shonky.

The bolts are steel, and quite long so you'll be wanting Ti.... I got mine from Aspire Velotech, who do free shipping as well as having possibly the best price anywhere... and they also marked the value down on the parcel, even though I hadn't asked them :D

Right, I'm now sorted for wheels, so I need to shift these on to cover up the hole in my paypal account. £135 posted, otherwise they're going on eBay.
