    Recovery drink powers, do they work?

    Sorry, But you will not get body builder legs just riding a bike. You would need to over stress you muscle with weights to do that. If you read anything, protein is the building blocks of muscles. You body is unique onto itself, so only 20 grams of protein for you might not be enough. I take in...

    The worst Grand Tour you can remember

    This is the most boring tour that I have watched, even the highlights are boring. It seems to get boring every year. They need to change it so the teams don't know the course ahead of time and just let them know the towns it starts and stops at, and give them the course details the day before...

    Specialised Venge bottom bracket

    They run the OSBB which is the same as bb30. The adapter should salve the noise since it gets campys bb cups and not the bb30 bearing which require you to locktite them in if you follow what specialized says to get rid of the squeak. AND don't listen to anyone here about the venge, it's your...

    Articles about $10,000 bikes - What's the point?

    Because some of us just like to ride/train on any bike, as long as it works. If you have the money to blow then do what you want with it halo or not. I think anything over 2 grand is throwing money down the drain if your not a racer or are over 30. It's like should I buy a Bentley or a Honda to...

    Articles about $10,000 bikes - What's the point?

    that 2799 euro's = 4366 us dollars = your crazy....(1 euro = 1.56 us) then add campy record 11sp = 2155 us dollars, zipp 404 = 2100 us dollars, so your still looking over 10 grand for a bicycle, I would rather have one of thesehttp://www.ducatiusa.com/bikes/monster/1100__evo_/index.do so atleast...

    I have record 8 speed and have yet to touch it in 3 years to "dial it in". Wow seem like you would be riding Super Record, what too expensive. Really, "Depends on the mechanic I guess", arguing who the better mechanic is on the internet is like arguing who the smartest *** is...:rolleyes:

    SRAM Haters

    maybe the reason you hear from more people with problems is because Scram has more stuff out there and have more of a dealer connection. Wow a lot of parts....really, I see racers go though that in a year alone. I have had problems with all the 3 companies. So to finger point one company out is...

    SRAM Haters

    who wouldn't want to target Shimano. They are the top dog in cycling. Almost every bike you buy is out of a box. Over the last 30,000+ miles I have yet to have a broken Sram part on my road bike. You also have to remember that Sram is the new company to step into the component arena. Shimano and...
