Busker Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Fluid strap saddlebags, biggest scam to cycling.
Mojoman Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Bought on Saturday, a Mountain King 2.2 tyre. Too skinny, used it on two rides and have now taken it off.R450 wasted......
ichops Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 must be the camelpak, i never use. got it with my first bike, after 5 rides realized water-bottle is the way to go.Try using a bottle on a multi stage race like Epic in 42 deg C and badly spaced water points ( Circa 2006 Epic !! )You just aint gonna make the stage
MTBeer Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 worst cycling purchase? Well according to Cyclelab it is my 26" Anthem.
Greg29 Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 I have used a Polar CS300 for over 6 years now, both on road and MTB. They are particularly susceptible to external electro magnetic influence( Train lines, Power lines etc)You have to mount the magnet and transmitter as close as possible to the receiver. Agree, my CS300 is a P.O.S. Never again!
