    Ryders crash -motor?

    An interesting subject, and as others have said one that has surely crossed the minds of riders and teams in the past, even if it hasn't been able to be put into action YET. I'm not sure either way. As far as the battery supply goes. What is the one thing that riders get given all the time...

    Dear wiggo. The fonz jumped a shark, not an amphibious carnivore.:D I love that term, and you've used it beautifully. Donald trump, what a joke

    Matt White stands down from all positions

    I know. Hence my last statement. Australians often like to think that other nationalities would dope and cheat. It's interesting that maybe they will start to think now. It doesn't start and stop with cycling.

    Matt White stands down from all positions

    Matt White is the coach for his wife Jane Saville who is an Olympic walker. She has 3 commonwealth gold medals and an Olympic bronze. Makes you wonder?? Doping is all pervasive.

    Wiggins in clean tour win shocker?

    Absolutely. I agree it may sound far fetched but hey, if people were accusing me of something I didn't do then I'd be more than happy to do whatever to shut them up. Even Mr Armstrong should do it if he is so adamant that he was clean. Of course he never will, he's condemned himself to...

    Wiggins in clean tour win shocker?

    Do you think Wiggins would be prepared to take a lie detector test to prove to all us f#####g w#####s that he won clean? I don't think so. I know for a fact that if I was clean I'd be prepared to do whatever it takes to prove once and for all that I was clean, even taking a lie detector...

    Bruise on inside of Andy Schlecks arm???

    Did anyone happen to notice the bruise on the inside of Andy's left arm at the start line of todys TT. My wife noticed it and it is sitting in exactly the spot you have an IV injection. Why would he have that there? It is very noticable.

    Team Kits? Your Views.......

    If it looks good, fits well, is good quality (particularly chamois) and can be fitted into my family budget, then I'm happy to buy and wear it. Do you look more like a poseur wearing team kit or full Assos kit??

    Import Duty when buying online

    Nick, sounds like your from Australia. You are right that the limit for import is $1000 dollars in one package. If it goes over that (for items only, no shipping) then technically you can be charged duty + GST. I forget the exact duty, but I think it is something like 5% (on all bicycle...

    Advice on Wheels.

    I don't know your weight but I have heard that the reynolds wheels can be a little flexy if you weigh a bit. Plus the hubs that come on the assault/attack aren't anything special. The DuraAce wheels are very good. You will struggle to find better hubs, and the rims (what ever rim you choose)...

    MetriGear pedal-spindle power meter

    For a Tri Athlete and timetrialist, Power Meters are fantastic for pacing. You accurately know what power you can produce at threshold and then keep yourself right at that limit without tipping yourself into the red. It means that you never go out to hard only to explode towards the end or...

    Pure Power Mouthguard

    Since I first read this thread I have taken note of my jaw position while riding. Maybe I'm different to some, but when I'm going all out my mouth is open and my jaw is in a relaxed position. In fact so much so anything in my mouth would probably fall out. Most cyclists (pro's incuded) seem to...

    Can't help but think this thread is shill marketing.

    Evans wins worlds...what was he on?

    I personally have an Emu. I find it keeps trespassers away better than a Kangaroo, however most people keep Roo's. I suppose it's like cats versus dogs. :p And good on Cadel. Whether He is clean or not (people can make their own decision) it was still a good ride. Perfect timing and a very...
