Any question answered...

why are concor saddles nowhere near as comfortable as they look?

You get hangovers from all the chemical shit in lager, not the alchohol.

Oh, it must be all the coke* we do at East Beers then.

*)Or rather the chemical shit they cut it with.
You don't get hangover for pure coke.

Cliche I know, but have you tried turning everything off (at the plug) and turning it back on again?

Buy white ones and keep them in the back pocket of your Uniqlo selvedge jeans?

don't be dissing on Uniqlo selvedge jeans

Especially since they hardly bleed at all compared to other raw denim.

I want cables to match the seat colour, make it fully retro.

Is that an Unicator saddle?

No it has padding.

Its a selle royal blue vinyl one. Thats not my bike just one that I think looks like it.

ebay search for "blue brake cable"

Google Image search 'Blue Waffle' *

*Don't

So why can't I get my expander bolt up the quill stem anymore?

So why can't I get my expander bolt up the quill stem anymore?

Euph.?

reading it back now it could be but no.
the expander bolt has shot loose and i tried getting it back up the stem but can't even get it up using a hammer

I assume it's the cone which is stuck, not the bolt. The reason why it can stick is the butting of the steerer, so the bottom of the cone is an interference fit at some point where the ID of the steerer tapers down near the fork crown. Is this a description of your problem? If not, describe your issue more fully, taking care to use the correct terms and if necessary a diagram.

^ that'll be nice.

alansbmx.com or any bmx shop.

They might not sell cable outer and inner separately though.

It wouldn't stay in the steerer when I was tightening the bolt. Hanging the back upside down did the trick.

Thanks.

is anyone cooler than mc hammer?

For the last couple of weeks I have been doing 2, 3 or 4 intensive rides (road races, time trials, fast hard rides etc..) per week with rest days / easy rides on remaining days.
I took this week off and have not done any riding until today. Starting from Tuesday my legs started feeling really sore (Hamstrings, Quads, Calves) and the soreness increased with each day.

I am used to delayed onset muscle soreness one or two days after intensive exercise and understand that this happens because muscle fibers are torn under stress during exercise, but why does this happen 3 days after my last race and lasts for so long? Should I be doing easy rides during my rest periods?

Thanks.

Wrong thread?

what kind of after care are you giving your legs?
a good stretch - soak in hot / cold bath - massage from willing gf / yourself can do wonders.

I stretch. Not as often as I probably should, once or twice per week. Massage from my girlfriend only happens once per month. Take hot bath after long rides.
