bike parts anonymous AKA: The new WTT thread, also pro tips on the length of time you should spend on the crapper

I have a subscription to National Geographic.

I read almost every article in every issue.

I only read NG while shitting.[/quote]

I guess you like to smell your own poop

Not me (shrugs)[/quote]

double flush man, double flush.[/quote]
This, plus I have a terrible sense of smell, I wouldn’t know the difference anyway.

why is it mandatory to poop like 3x before a bike race?

i can’t figure it out, but for some reason, minimum of 3 poops before a bike race.[/quote]

granted i’ve only done a couple of races, but i think this one might just be you.

I only poop at work because it’s like a free break every day. As such, minimum 10 minutes each time. Have about a dozen iPod touch apps to while the time away

I think cuz y’all gettin anxious. I get the same way as soon as I’ve put my full kit on and thinking about the race. “Well shit, time to go take everything off again.”

Sucks for cross.

definitely not true. it’s the same for almost everyone I know.

i’ve been to enough bike races and used enough port-a-pots to know that i’m not the only one making a million trips to the port-a-john.

I have some fucking aero wheel covers that were cut for mavic open sports, but would probably fit anything with a similar depth and could be trimmed for deeper rims. I’ll sell them for shipping + $5.

^ tempted coz always fucking break my polo covers.

I dunno, when I sit down, it’s just a feeling of oneness, of flow, of release, and I’m done and back to my day. Maybe I’m just enlightened?

sure they not just pissin? i know that i was taking 3x leaks due to coffee and also trying to make sure i was hydrated.

i also don’t think i’ve ever pooped 3x in a day let alone in one portion of the morning unless something was wrong though.

Just got rid of some dick breaks/rotors. One step on the road to recovery. Feels good.

carl, what color are the aero cover thingers? enough for 2 wheels or just one?

if you had seen the amount of poop that accumulated in mere hours in the port-a-pots outside track nationals, you wouldn’t be questioning me.

the sprint tournament day was by far the worst.

black, for one wheel.

Before big swim meets I used to eat a half a box of bran buds the night before then drink a coffee in the morning, then I’d shit 4 times before and during warm up and feel light as a feather.

now thats a fuckin PRO tip
