  1. This is where Clerigs advice comes in handy...
  2. Build it up and you will find out, with certain cs lenght you might get away with 1jockey tensioner...If you are unsure, just post pics of your bike and we will tell you
  3. Nah there´s nothing wrong with it, it would be cool to see one of those brakes around here, they were just too damn brutal which made them interesting lol. If they were 100g lighter and even more importantly had more clean looking lever, I would most likely have one.
  4. I was thinking mmmm, gustav front brake, then I realized it´s not
  5. Creatine is creatine, it´s the same molecule, only the molecul which it´s attatched to is different in different forms like ethyl ester, malate, citrate, HCL etc. It isn´t mixture of amino acids, but it´s probably new myth I haven´t heard before Creatine is only synthesized from 2amino acids and as an osmotically active substance it binds some water everywhere it goes. Anyway, intramuscular water retention is a good thing as it stimulates actual muscle growth, no need to be sad
  6. That´s not true but hold is a different story. Bite is overrated anyway.
  7. Yes spoke flex and of course the most important thing, weight (A) Funny thing is, they don´t use vees which are more powerful yet lighter, easier to maintain/setup etc.
  8. Majority of stock riders...And it´s not because of disc brakes not beeing powerful enough.
  9. It´s not that hard to drill/tap lower mount hole though
  10. You have to remember, the more you know about diet, the more efficient it can be. Don´t you wanna see good results? If you do, read some literature
  11. It´s medical degree. Heh,at this point even I would like to read it one day, I hate writing long paragraphs and 50pages is way too much for me, hopefully I will make it, still have plenty of time to do it. I just passed the exam of psychiatry last week, that was such a killer to learn
  12. Negative in comparsion to the other type of diet, that´s what I meant And my thesis theme is: "Effect of exercise on metabolism and phenotype in patients with metabolic syndrome".
  13. That´s exactly the problem, this makes you believe you will be more prone to gaining weight on the 50/30/20, it´s higher energetic value after all(Not that the 10kcal makes a difference...)In praxis, this diet will do the exact opposite as more protein increases you energetic output(by increasing termogenesis) thus resulting in negative energetic balance, I think this is the perfect example how misleading kcal=kcal can be. Anyway, I have to get back to writing my diploma thesis(dammit) but I enjoy this kind of debate with knowledgeable people. See you later gents.
  14. Yes it is, your body won´t get same % of energy out of 100kcal of different macros making whole kcal math useless. Your energetic intake can be the same eating 50:30:20(P:C:F) and 30:50:20, yet clean energetic intake will be much much smaller resulting in BW drop. It´s only the energy you can use that counts in diet. Another basic stuff is to spread your daily food intake into 5-6 smaller meals instead of eating 3big meals. Without change in caloric intake you will most likely loose some weight just because it increases basal metabolism 6times a day instead of 3(not to mention there´s smaller chance of excess protein or carbs from bigger meal to convert to fat). Simples. Edit: I found one article for you using the same name for this effect(not that the name matters, I know they are the same things) http://jn.nutrition.org/content/15/6/565.full.pdf Edit 2: Back to Brad-My first advice would be don´t make it more of a torture than it has to be, it only increases the chance of failure. If you exclude sweets and fried foods, start to eat more frequently and start to workout your energetic balance will be changed drastically even without changing anything else. After some time your weight loss is going to slow down or even fully stop, than it´s the right time for another changes. No need to hurry, it´s marathon not a sprint. Edit 3 lol: As showyourcolors pointed out before, if you can´t live without chocolates, it does make a difference WHEN you eat it, If you really have to, eat it after workout, there´s a very small chance of turning those carbs into fat after workout,most likely it will be used to replenish muscle glycogen.
  15. Nah you don´t get it, my english is far from perfect so I will advice you to search for "specific dynamic effects of protein". It´s pretty basic stuff yet the most overlooked from my experience.
  16. Yeah,that´s why this example wasn´t really usable
  17. Kcal is physical measure of energy=amount of energy you get by burning(literally) 1g of something. Human body use chamically bonded energy, so using physical measures is wildly inappropriate. It takes 10times more energy to fully breakdown and absorb 1g of protein than do the same with 1g of fat. So think once again about this "kcal=kcal" bs
  18. Human body doesn´t work like that
  19. Yeah cutting sodium is good idea for your health(always) BUT if you reduce it too fast and drastically it will lead to increased sodium retention, so dropping doses slowly is the key.
  20. One of the most common things is focusing to much on calories rather than on what they came from. 100kcal from fat is way more energy than 100kcal from protein.
  21. This is one of the most common myths around lol.
  22. If you do it that way it will be most likely too tight on the tight spot,this could cause chain to stretch more and also damage freewheel etc. I would recommend you do it this way:1,Set the right tension on tight spot(in this position you can make it really tight)2,tighten up the hub bolts 3,tighten up the chain tensioning bolts some more so they won´t come loose.
