I have replaced the chain twice, bar tape once, and have the mysterious clicking from the BB. I am going to take it out, clean and re-grease it to see if that helps, otherwise I think a new BB may be in order.

]]> Comment on Screw Gatorade, Make Your Own Sports Drink by Todd http://www.roadcycler.com/2006/08/screw-gatorade-make-your-own-sports-drink/comment-page-1/#comment-33922 Todd Wed, 30 Dec 2009 17:30:45 +0000 http://www.roadcycler.com/2006/08/screw-gatorade-make-your-own-sports-drink/#comment-33922 Just one piece of advice, from someone with a great deal of knowledge in this area. If your looking to produce a glucose-electrolyte solution (sports drink) to use during exercise, don't use fruit juices as your base. They contain fructose, which the body doesn't use as well as other combinations (found in sports drinks), or table sugar. There is also some evidence suggesting that juice interferes with fluid absorption during exercise. It's better to stick to fruit juice based beverages an hour after exercise. A very helpful book for both athletes and strength trainers is Power Eating by Dr. Susan Kleiner, third Edition. Just one piece of advice, from someone with a great deal of knowledge in this area.

Had no complains whatsoever. Droved a friends pinarello roadbike and pinarello is only a notch or 2 better considering the price. My friends and I agreed that european roadbikes that are really expensive and very light in weight are just status quo for people who shows-off. Performance wise, even with a trek 1.2, if i'm going to race. I will guarantee that my opponent that will use a pinarello. I will beat him on a sprint on a 10 mile road.

Even after a 4000 miles it is still preforming very well, I recomend changing the bar tape, and getting different tires, but i don't seem to mind the bontrager sadle. overall I would recomend this bike to any cycling enthusiest and/or racer... it has worked amazing in all of my races I bought the trek 1500 last year from my local dealer (stadium bike)…I love the bike, it preforms very good overall especially on the hills.
