would it be a good idea to have a FAQ section? It seems that the same question comes up over and over such as Hed vs Zipp, tubular vs clincher and etc.

Re: FAQ [gsxrawd]

a FAQ section would be great, but honestly, what would we put in there? We could put stuff like the definition of a 650c and 750c wheel, weights of parts (that's what weightweenies site is for), caloric info, bike fit referrences...
But the vast majority of the stuff brought up on this forum is based on users opinions and experiences such as the HED versus Zipp, tubular versus clincher, aero helmet versus standard helmet, what brand of gel is the tastiest, who's the hottest poster on ST, and so on and so on. This stuff will never be honestly settled as there is no clear cut criteria for judgement. Thus, the reason we have this forum.
There are several books out there on tri that serve sort of like a FAQ database, but again because most of these FAQs are based on opinion balanced by a few stats and some experience, you have to take everything with a grain of salt (I prefer Endurolytes, versus plain salt but again that would be hard to define as being a definite)

We could have a link that says, "Is my seat too high?" and when they click it, it says "Yes."

I guess it's just too tough for those of us with double nickel ages.

Try searching for a specific race report, e.g. IMoo 2005 race report. You get way too many hits. It would be great if you be directed to a date range, or a page range sometimes.

I dunno. But how do you post a picture??
Re: FAQ [Pooks]
[ In reply to ]
Sign up for www.photobucket.com or www.tinypic.com and upload a picture of your choice. Once it is stored on their site, copy the address of the picture and pase it here, with before it and {/IMG} after it, but replace the last one with a bracket around the /IMG.
