as if they didnt ban doping riders would be popping so many pills it would be like a freak show riding at 50km/hr every stage

I would say looking at the pro recovery times is kinda no reverent as they will have extreme operations as it there life/job to race. Those operations may be great for 5-10 years but after they are likely to have issues their whole lives/be re operated on

its normal the pro bikes are slightly different for example more carbon in head tube and bb. Th

The berlive that its to try stop the frame snapping if there is a mech issue which i guess is reduced if the hanger is soft but i do think they are far to soft now adays

unless you are racing there is really no point using expensive carbon wheels so if i was you i would leave the mavics in all year for training....

Ive found mavic kysrium elite very good, light and stiff enough to be race wheels but also bomb proof used for about 15-20k miles and run completely true and bearings perfect with not maintenance. even when used on ****ty road...

i wouldnt say many "normal" bike are on the weight limit unless ones makes a big effort to reduce the weight which does make the bike less stiff and less durable which is an issue for pros as they cant be getting new bikes every week.... For example running carbon stems makes the bike stiffer...

just dont think about it and relax, if your moving the bike wants to stay upright,

from my understands the cassettes are different but as the chain width is the same you can run any 10sp chain

With the sprinters cavendish is short so his muscle of inch of height is similar if not more than for example bonnen

THe problem is both of them havent been proven dopers so would be abit pointless. in my book clean to proven guilty. And i believe they are both clean :P

from what i understand they can wear the WC jerseys whilst they are still an under 23. Meaning if they turn pro or are a last year under 23 they can't wear it the following year. I guess this from Alex Dowsett wearing the GB TT champs kit this year. That may also be the reason he did not do it...

the flyod case is completely different for 2 reasons.... he failed a drugs test which was during the TDF he admitted to cheating

I would think the only stuff which really has an effect is cheap stuff like phone gps, sunglasses etc. Then the kit sponsors have a huge effect on what people buy,

Guy does it really matter exactly how much a component weights it 100g+/- (even 200g) won't make the slightest difference to your fast you ride. If you want to ride faster train harder and if you want to feel lighter lose some weight!
