Random XC Questions?

19 Mar 2009, 11:25
Since I am doing my first xc race in ages at the week end I have some questions?

How do you know if your Lycra is too tight? I tried the old spandex on the other night, not sure if its too tight of not? Are you supposed to feel duuurty and want to run around the kitchen doing star jumps?

Are ignitors directional?

How are you supposed to get all the gadgets on the narrow handel bars? There was barely room for the stopwatch, hear rated monitor, lock out switches and sat nav’s?

Are carbon hard tails supposed to make you want to punch other road users? If so grand, its working. If not I am fairly sure I noticed a 32% drop in my since of humour over and hour long spin, will I get this back?

Thanks

Confused, but a little excited.

It's never too tight.

Yes, knobbly bits go on the outside.

Take off the grips - plenty of room then.

What is a "carbon hard tail"? Some kind of walking stick?
