It will add some grit so the seat post doesn't slip, even if...
I am more worried about my plane dropping out of the air then a terrorist blowing up the plane. Human errors (Pilot + other) seems to be the biggest cause, if you believe this site:

Not to side track this thread but I have never puked myself but have felt it in my stomach like I was about to a few times. Then there was the time I got tunnel vision and thought I may pass out....
Get out of the saddle and sprint like hell until the top. Throwing up is optional but if you do, you know you did it right.
You should go to a reputable fitter to get pre-fit to find out what bike geometry will work best for you. The fitter should have some kind of "fitting bike" they can adjust to do things like change...
I don't ride them but I would check out ISM:

I've heard favorable things about them and seen them in use by other racers. Dunno where you live but check out...
When he's not looking sabotage his bike by ever so slightly misaligning his brakes so they rub the rims. Followed by deflating his tires to increase the rolling resistance. Then on your next ride...
Wouldn't it be cheaper to go to Kona or Honolulu? There are Cervelo dealers in Kona and Honolulu. I don't know what the air fare would be but that would seem to be a cheaper option.
Whom do you...
I don't use the nut that comes with a threaded valve. For a number of reasons. The first being if you over tighten the nut it can cause a leak where the valve meets the tube. This is caused when you...
The best thing to do is in January go do the Early Birds series. They will teach you the skills you need to race plus you will get to do some practice races. You can join a team at any time but its...

I think you can pretty much buy all of the stuff while at the Death Ride when you pick up your packet. The only thing I want every year is the 5 pass finisher jersey. Although I hardly ever wear it....
I can't stand riding indoors so I ride on the road as much as possible. I also do intervals on the road because my heart rate is much different and the sensations don't feel the same. Like how much...
Yes its doable. However the only problem is driver support for your devices. Generally speaking on a desktop this is not as much of a problem. But on a laptop where the drivers are mostly provided by...
Some rollers have bumpers on the front so if your front wheel moves too far to the right or left it will stop. Without the bumpers you will potentially fall over. The ones I have have the bumpers and...

Don't use the MB Gravity Web Service when you upload your data. I find it doesn't help when you have the Edge 305/705 which has the altimeter. The MB Gravity Web Service is for people who only have...
There is still plenty of time to get training however you need to be serious about it. The first 100 mile ride I do is in April. Which is 100 miles with about 6000 feet of climbing. And then just...
Maybe you already know this but you should also consider what the setback is for your seat post when considering buying another seat post. I have a Thompson masterpiece and like it a lot. But they...

I never use my debit card for any transactions. I always use a credit card. This way its the credit card companies money which is stolen and they have to prove I bought it. I only use my debit card...
Anything that goes over to the coast and back are my favorites. Like up Page Mill, down West Alpine, left on Pescadero, the right on Stage Road, left on Highway 1 and up Tunitas Creek, and then down...

For lower back pain I like to do the one in fig 2 laying on the edge of my bed. I have just recovered from lower back pain and...
Did you pay by credit card? If so what I would do is tell them to get you ones which fit and give them back the old ones. If they don't you'll call your credit card company and dispute the charge....
