I suffer more than most at gigs, etc. as I have quite sensitive ears. Can have ringing for over a week sometimes.

Then my hearing will disappear completely in one ear and come back without the ringing - all in the space of about a minute.

So many potential causes, but generally, if it is brought on by noise related trauma then chances are it will pass.

Looking forward to trying these out in Flanders. I'm another bad circulator, so I'll let you all know how it goes!

Went well and really like the gloves. Take a bit of getting used to, but changing gear with big gloves is easier than numb fingers.

Haven't tried them in a downpour yet, but infinitely warmer than my usuals. Swapped the inner gloves that come with for some merino liners.

Man alive I'm so glad I bought those Spesh sub zeros gloves.. Fucking bargain..

Feel like someone needs to start a women's racing thread to balance that out.

Anyone got a .gif of Dan Martin's sprint in the final Catalunya stage?

Pea roast?

I think the worst thing about knee pain is when you think you're over it and it comes back. I know it's because I'm riding the Ronde on Saturday and my body is trying to tell me to bail.

Back to the pistol squats twice a day for me.

I have the Fuji frame and forks (last year's in blue that I bought from Hoke). It is surprisingly light and stiff as a stiff thing so should be a good bet for track. Fork drilled for a front brake too. Can't comment on wheels, drivetrain or finishing kit as that's all my own on mine.

Mr Miyagi's 50p thread

In existence (both exist)

Mass:
Matter + anti-matter = 0
Energy:
Matter + anti-matter = 2mc^2

Out of existence (both do not exist)

Mass:
No matter + no anti-matter = 0
Energy:
No matter + no anti-matter = 0mc^2

Zero before, zero after, no change in amount, conservation conserved.

(Please remember, I don't know what I am talking about)

Isn't that (^^) actually the case? Where does this energy come from?

EDIT: Emyr beat me to it.

I got mine here: http://www.probikekit.com/uk/tyres-tubes/michelin-pro-4-race-service-course-clincher-road-tyre.html

mainly because I wanted 25mm.

Also worth mentioning "SPRING5" will get you a fiver off.

Anyone know much about using a Sphygmomanometer?

I need to get one to for daily use (not for myself). I know digital ones are common but stuff that uses rapidly depleting batteries piss me off to no end, so want a manual one.

My question; Is it more difficult to use one with a rotary dial to compared to the upright mercury level things?

It seems like all the new/cheap ones on sale have the round rotary dial, but all doctors I have seen use a manual Sphygmomanometer have had the upright mercury tube thing. These are available used on ebay but seem to cost at least twice as much as a new rotary dial one.

Wouldn't have thought so. Just make sure you don't jog the dial while you're taking a reading. Should be a good deal more accurate than a digital device.

You'll need a stethoscope to go with it, too.

Remember - snug but not too tight!

attaque84 - How'd you write of the A23?

Only asking as they are my only wheelset at the moment. Use for commuting and weekend riding. So far no problems but not sure whether I should invest in a cheap pair of wheels just for riding to work.

I hit an astrobleme of a pothole while riding Hell of the Ashdown. Pulled the dent out and trued the wheel, but flat spot on rim can only ever mean new rim.

So the man tells me.

I wouldn't worry, nothing short of tractor wheels would have survived that impact.

looking for wide not so expensive rims similar to A23 (Archetypes are expensive and heavier) it's for a disc wheelset. TFG seems like the only shop which sell A23s

I've just written an A23 rim off.

Best deal I* could find on a replacement was at BLB. They're selling silver and black A23s for £52.

More expensive than TFG, but they have more than just 32h drillings.

*By "I", I mean the man who does all of this stuff for me.

Oh God. I just had to call up "Espirit Europe" to book my bike on the train to Belgium for RVV (they're on 0844 822 5822 btw).

Spent half an hour trying to sort it out. I'm still not sure my bike will ever make it there.

You forget Cool Runnings itself, which is an essential part of the Blade Wall Cool Circuit Runnings Quadrology.

Ahem...

Wooo! Are we all systems go for 27/3, then?

I have some of these in a 43. I'll check what state they're in when I get home.

Wow, DrCake's jockey wheels have bearings? I think mine just have bushings. I will check later...

I wonder what the VO2Max measured in that test was and how that compares to Ennis and the like?

Also, pretty obvious from that list that the wielrennen outperform the schaatsen. Is a w/kg comparison meaningful, given there are no hills in speed skating and the test is presumably performed on a bike (different muscles, presumably)?

I don't know. She's freakishly strong. Isn't it a little like having the hots for a weight-lifter?

But then, it's OK to like JEnnis, and she throws shot...

O.o

yep, that's the girl in the rainbow jersey

"A friend of mine" has a bit of a thing for 'the boss'. Is this wrong?

Tim "Aussie Dexter" Kerrison.

Not sure. There are some up on the UKCycleSport website, but mostly just pits and the grassy area.

If you find out, let us know!
