re:Testosterone dosing protocols optimized for cyclist in train In category Racing Written by Digit I have been on some medications that suppress the natural production of testosterone. More than 80% of it is now provided by a cream. The script says take once per morning. I have seen various recommendations and I am wondering if anyone has information of dosing that is optimized to assist the body in recovery and cell regeneration etc. (or any other issues I have not thought about). I will like
re:Backward-ass UCI does it again! In category Racing Written by jamband UCI bans disc brakes from 'cross events By Andrew Juskaitis This report filed October 20, 2003 A new technical edict from cycling's international governing body has sent professional cyclo-cross racers scrambling for new equipment... and maybe grasping for an explanation. According to a technical updated posted to USA Cycling's website, professional cyclo-cross racers will no longer be able to r
re:Who Best To Fight Doping? In category Racing Written by folken Not Hein from what Gaumont says: "It may be that 90% of the cyclists are not clean," he said. "I can't blame them; we are the victims of a rotten system. We are under enormous pressure from sponsors, we have to get results, and at a certain point we feel obliged to go under." He added that the tests currently used were not combating the problem. "You can get round drug controls easily. What we ca
re:Gearing on replacement bikes In category Racing Written by sTREYnge240 Watching Zabel get up from his crash at the end of today's stage, I see that he had to crank pretty hard to get the gear turning. Seemed about right for a flat stage. (BTW, it looked to me like Zabel just went down on a paint stripe. Not quite close enough for contact, not that it matters.) It seems a simple enough problem not requiring a lot of mental effort, but is there much thought given b
re:Bianchi's are a fine brand and I love them In category Racing Written by jens This is so lame. Nobody cares, and if they did care, why would anyone take your word for it when you publish this in a forum that Bianchi can't reply to? You got the exact result anyone reasonable would expect. Granted, most others would say, "darn", right after my friggin' warranty expired" and that would be the end of it. In fact, things like that have happened to me and I am sure just about eve
OT: Cycling After Hip Replacement In category Racing Written by Purpledmbchic13 A friend, age 55, has been putting off hip replacement for fear that he won't be able to cycle afterwards. However, he's now at the point where the hip is severly limiting his cycling and causing other problems with "compensation" injuries.

re:Hed Stingers In category Racing Written by samstone Do Hed still make the Stinger carbon race wheel? I can find no mention of it as a current product on their Web site. I'm curious to know why. (I suspect that it is because of quality control problems with the wheel.) Does anyone use this wheel for racing, or had a problem with the rim composition? I have a front wheel (60mm carbon rim built onto low-profile Sonic hub) and it has given me n

Wear ID When you Ride! In category Racing Written by lordalyc One Year ago today, I was out for a ride in the bay area. As I descended Highway 84 from Old la Honda, a semi was coming around the corner well over the center line. I swerved to avoid him and went into a skid. I started to skid off the road, then back on toward the grill of a second semi that was behind the first. I don't remember exactly what happened next, but somehow I bailed and rolled off r

re:How do we stop drugs in cycling? In category Racing Written by tekxtc We all know what's going on and the terrible outcomes we are now seeing. So how do we stop it? My own (idealistic) notions for pro/elite riders includes: 1. If any individual tests positive their entire team is suspended for six months. 2. If any individual tests positive their sponsor must pay a one million euro fine. 3. If any individual tests positive their national cycling federation mus

re:Oakley Factory Pilot Left hand arm In category Racing Written by percyhill I'm hoping someone will be able to help me. I have an old pair of Oakley Factory Pilot sunglassess, but I have lost the left hand arm and 'wrap around the ear' extension which has rendered them useless. I know that they are old but they were a gift from my parents and thus carry some sentimental value. Does anyone here have or know anybody who'm might have, or of a shop that has some old stock o
re:ADT Velodrome at Home Depot Sports Center In category Racing Written by Akumu I drove by a lunchtime today, and saw that in the last 13 days, the new driveway concrete has dried, and an asphalt road has been put in front of the building, and up the hill to the east side. There is steel framing for the walls in place. The interior has a number of steel roof supports stacked beside a huge crane, which I expect will lift them into place on top of the wall framing, maybe even

re:The Bikesmith, Seattle, shutting down In category Racing Written by mrswigon I was talking to Val Kleitz at the Bikesmith in Seattle today and he told me that he will have to go out of business in a couple of weeks. That's a real loss because he runs a very capable and responsive LBS. Everyone in the area that can should try to get over there and give him some business as soon as you can. It may not be too late to save the business. http://www.thebikesmith.com PS. I am n
re:OT: Harley Riders In category Racing Written by Glynhial Every time I ride in the canyons around here I see lots of Harely riders (so this in on topic after all).

re:1 Testicle unfair advantage? In category Racing Written by gkavin Lance should be barred from competition because his balls don't thwap around and get snagged in the wrong position.

re:Battery replacement for Polar 710 In category Racing Written by heliosentric I just got the "low battery" warning from my Polar S-710 (I just patched it to 4.00.025 and I wonder if that is a new feature?)

I used to change the Polar X-Trainer plus on my own and I had the seals to replace when necessary. This will be its fi
re:OT: What is wrong with you people? In category Racing Written by abbsci420 This place is so strange. It reminds me of when I go into the high end bicycle stores and people are all full of themselves and try and talk down to you as if they are some know-it-all top ranked cyclist. I wonder why bicyclists that race or wannabe racers are like this? I play all kind of sports competitively (tennis, volleyball, golf, track and field, tri's) and never really run into this. W
changing bands on my derailleur In category Tech issues Written by EtherMage Just bought a used triple front derailleur and it has the wrong size band on it (think the guy pulled a fast one on me..oh well). I was wondering if a person could buy a replacement band for the same derailleur. It is a Shimano 105 FD-5504 and has a 28.6 band on it now (silver and should have been black) bit I need one for 31.8 (hopefully black). Does anyone know if you can buy the band separately
re:Say it aint so Shimano ... PART 2 In category Tech issues Written by travelernj Looks to me Japan-style price deflation is taking down prices of engineered bicycle components everywhere. Shimano isn't the only component-maker trying to prop up prices to stay alive. See the recent notice from Chris King, listed below, for another desperate attempt to maintain prices in the market channel. Perhaps new Chinese components will be hitting the USA mainland soon ?? - Don Gillies
new chainwheels: what needs replacement? In category Tech issues Written by Teefer I need new chainwheels and want to know how much stuff on the bike needs replacement to accomplish that. I just put on a new chain. Because the chainwheel is worn it skips consistently under load going up a hill. The old chain did some of that, the new one seems worse. The bike shop that sold me the chain predicted the possibility. They took one look at the chainwheels and said they were "wasted,
re:buying older helmets In category Tech issues Written by marsgirlie I wrote to Giro and got a very lawyer-phrased answer, so I'm looking for the real answer (and not a flame war about what kind of protection helmets actually provide). What is the danger of buying non-current-year helmets (other than not having the latest and greatest and most fashionable new color)? According to manufacturers, the life of a helmet is only about 3 years, but what is that based on
re:How are Integrated Headsets so different? In category Tech issues Written by chatwood2 In reading through past postings I have discovered that many people do not like the Integrated Headsets used by Litespeed and other manufactures. I have read Chris Kings views and while the reasoning behind his views makes sense, I believe that some manufactures have already addressed the biggest problem. At first I was skeptical, but through a couple phone calls I was able to find out that Litesp
re:halfstep impossible? In category Tech issues Written by DavT My current gearing for my tourbike is a 44-36-22 crank with a standard 12-14-16-18-20-23-26-30-34 cassette. Since my 44 alu needs replacement and I almost never use the high gears I thought about replacing it with a 42 steel one. Also replacing the cassette with an (expensive) custom 13-15-17-18-19-21-24-28-34. This would give me tight spacing between 50 and 70 inch. But looking at the gearchart

re:Derailleur Pulleys In category Tech issues Written by blr I replaced the pulleys on my RSX 8 speed rear derailleur to troubleshoot a drivetrain noise problem. It seems to have fixed the problem and the old pulleys were pretty worn. The replacements are Rockwerks alloy with sealed ABEC 3 bearings. I just noticed that the old pulleys are 10 tooth and the new ones are 11 tooth. They fit okay and seemed to work okay on a quick trip around the neighborhoo
re:Death of a Viscount? In category Tech issues Written by Riet I know, I know: Viscounts (English, mine circa 1975 in the "Trusty" era) get no respect, and for good reason -- the "death fork" recall, the proprietary Viscount-branded components that were good in theory (hubs & BB with sealed bearings) but not durable, the BB not easily replaced by modern ones, the soft dropouts (in some models), and "aerospace" tubing of an alloy no one ever heard of that
Brake hoods for Dia-Compe levers In category Tech issues Written by David Long-time lurker here with a question. I have Dia-Compe BRS Edge "aero" levers (linked to side-pulls of the same name) on an early '90's Specialized Sirrus. The right hood has developed a hole in it. I'm looking for a replacement but have struck out at the LBS's and, either because I'm blind, or it ain't there, I haven't been able to locate anything via the on-line dealers I'm familiar with. D
re:Need fitting advice In category Tech issues Written by abbsci420 After more than ten years of mountainbiking (and lurking on r.b.t for the better part of those ten years) I hit the road two years ago, first with a '96 Klein Quantum II (53 cm c-t), and the last year a '00 Cannondale Cyclocross (52 cm c-t). I opted for a cyclocross because I wanted to try and see if I could use the same bike for road racing (masters fattie, I'm afraid...) and this country's top

Replacement Batteries for light In category Tech issues Written by MorganPowys I have a Night Rider 15w light, and the 6v battery needs to be replaced. I have looked around and seen a number of posts on D-I-Y battery assembly, and it doesn't seem too difficult (though I have seen some cautions about welding/soldering tabs onto batteries). The current battery is a water bottle with 5 1.2v NiCAD "D" batteries connected with tabs in series. No idea abut amp-hours, as the batte
Mavic Helium Rim replacement question In category Tech issues Written by The Creator I bought a pair of Helium clinchers on Ebay and the rear rim is missing a grommet and is cracked.

The Open Pro looks right but I would like to know for sure.
Rohloff Hubs: Can't stop slow oil leak In category Tech issues Written by thersupermikey I know this is kind of off-the-wall for 99% of the NG's readers, but in the past I've seen posts from other Rohloff users... so... I don't think it's the hubs. I think it's something I'm not doing, or doing wrong. Rationale: I've got two of the things with serial numbers a couple years apart and they're behaving the same.... I've installed the two little gaskets that're supposed to prevent oi
Old(er) peddler getting back in the saddle In category Tech issues Written by floam Glad to find this great group with tons of good info and links. Once upon a time (read:about 20 years ago) I rode 100 ~ 400 miles a week. Of course this was prior to settling down and having a family as well as running a business. I rode on an old Schwinn Super Sport that I loved dearly and have never seen another like it. It came equipped with Shimano 600 and I replaced some components with Dur
