Worst Cycling Purchase

[DIPSLICK]

 

 

It would be a real fail if they state use 3 scoops(75g) and then give you a 50g scoop...

 

I use it when Im doing long distances as I struggle to get food down. It definitely does not taste the best but works for me...

Personally I don't use the product, but I know many who are happy with it and it wouldn't be such a hugely successfull organization if they sold placebo

Hey, did not know you were within earshot. Sorry

 

Hahahahahahaha! The ex and I joke about...the, um, bits were in a jar of formadehyde on the mantelpiece. She apologised to me when she sold the house, she forgot to pack them.

Crank brothers candy 3's are hands down the worst purchase ever.

[TALUS]

How many is a few? Or is it the typical bike shop intellectual response to a threat to the entrenched margins within retail?

 

Granted, there is a possibility of everything breaking should it hit another object at speed. Is this what they mean?

 

I have fitted and sold more than "a few" of these and have done extensive research, they are no more likely to break from normal use than any other component you may purchase.

 

So No, I wouldn't say it's close to your worst buy ever.

Happy to hear that. I didn't know you sell them. I first looked at your site because it looks like you stand by your brand. Couldn't see any.

Any biodegradable degreaser...... But i have no doubt i will take abuse now by someone.

My first and only set of Mtb shoes I purchased 7 years ago were Olympics. Still going strong, not a days trouble.

Ditto bought a pair 5 years ago and they have been brilliant, i have very wide (plat ) feet so they were sort of the only make that fit me.

Lumo First Ascent rain jacket - wore it for 5 mins and was perspiring like a weight watcher in a cake shop. Never wore it again. Should sell it.

Correct, that tub that our great professor (who does not use the product) googled is from USN UK.

Locally we still get some tubs that shows a pic of 4 scoops (next to the pic it does say 50 grams per scoop) and there is a 100 gram scoop in the tub.

I also enjoy the product, works on long rides and as a recovery drink, especially the one that contains Pepto Pro.

 

I say ,over-mix the stuff and it will make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.

I prefer to under-mix a little.

Then again, what supplement tastes good.

Have you ever bought Pepto Pro on it's own ?

 

I down it with my eyes closed and my nose pinched , tastes absolutely horrid even mixed in juice, but it works.

In a smoothie it's actually not too bad.

But we have another nice little thread here on The Hub, a good feel thread where a certain USN man made a substantial contribution.

That to me makes me want to support the man.

A lot of you are forgetting about those power balance bangles you bought!

Agree, EpicPro tastes the best imo of all the energy juices...had the strawberry one a while ago...very lekker.

 

Another agree

Hey, no need to get nasty and start name calling, the USN.co.za site was not accessible, so I searched the interwebs for the product...I have nothing against USN, just seems weird that the consumers are confused by the labeling/spoon size etc...
