Product Reviews

This Product Review section was added so we can include comments on products we use for training and racing.  Like many of you, we look for information on products before we make purchases and often wonder about the creditability of the folks writing reviews on the Internet.  A lot of you reading this train and race with us so can take our opinions for what they are worth.  Any opinions are those of the individual making the review only and not necessarily those of the rest of the team or sponsors.


   

Skin Sake Athletic ointment - Jason Miller (11/2009) - Skin Sake Athletic ointment resolved my saddle sore problems and is priced out about the same as similar products.  One 6 oz tube has probably lasted me a little longer than an 8 oz tube of Chamois Butt'r.  However, if you have ever had issue with saddle sores, you know that finding the right product that works for you is more important than saving a few bucks.  That fact that it doesn't cost more plus is a product from a local racer is just langiappe.

Ultimate Support Bike Stand - Jason Miller (1/2009) - I wouldn’t want to be without my bike stand.  I would rate this as “something you don’t know how much you need until after you start using it”.  As much money as we invest in bikes, another $150 to hold them secure isn't much.  JM

Tacx Carbon Assembly Compound - Jason Miller (12/2008)- "Suddenly after 3+ years with no issues, my carbon seat post starts slipping.  Although I think nothing is cooler than a mechanic in a team car stretching out the window to make adjustments to a moving bike, my budget called for something more modest.  The Tacx Compound for $16 worked like a champ."  JM 

Arundel Dave-O Bottle Cage - Jason Miller (5/2008)  "These things hold on to a bottle like my miser buddy Tony Martin holds on to cash...  Arundel’s Dave-O cage looks great and won’t leave you begging for water in a race." JM

Neuvation M28 Aero Wheels - Jason Miller (9/2007)  "A quality set of wheels from a company that stands behind their products for $289 is a hard act to follow and they occasionally run deals where the cost is even lower." JM
