Clif Shot Electrolyte Replacement Drink
From: 2Pure

Energy drinks are an odd thing, some make you want to guzzle them down in one go and some make you want to wretch. We’ll be interested to see which camp these fall into, lemonade and cranberry flavours sound promising though.
Clif Builder’s Protein Bar
From: 2Pure
Price: £1.99 each
Singletrack Fact: Most energy bars get eaten in the office at deadline time when no-one can be bothered to go and find food. Available in chocolate mint, peanut and plain chocolate we’ll be testing these to the max next week as issue 57 looms onto the horizon.
Suunto t3d
From:Suunto
Dave has been very keen to test this Suunto. We blame that Cannondale Rush, ever since he got it he’s been talking about training, doing hill reps and now wants a heart rate monitor. He’ll deny it all of course, but we think we’ve lost him to weightweenie-ness. Come back Dave!

From: Fenwicks
We’re already busy arguing who is going to be tasked with cleaning the test fleet with these new offerings from Fenwicks. I think Tom de Bruin should do it…

Great idea! You go out riding, I’ll bake a cake, get the tea and coffee ready. Then when you get back you tuck into that and I’ll start washing your bikes.
AM40’s are great!
If you guys need someone to, erm, look after any of those bikes then by all means drop me an email 😉

I want at least 2 pages you slackers 😉
Man! Is it foreshortening, or are the bars on some of those rides wider than, ummm, something really wide?
what is the collective noun for too many bikes, an envy?
hope you have some good locks on your office doors, never good showing that many bikes in 1 place on tinternet
Got agree with the showerman, not a smart idea
Do like the look of them new DT wheels though
Tricon XM1550 available to demo here!
^^^ As Si says All official DT Swiss wheel dealerships should have a pair of the new Tricon wheels available to demo (road or mtb versions, depending on the shop). It’s a considerable outlay for a pair of wheels but the proof is definately in the riding. I’d urge anyone interested to try and get a days riding in on them via their local DT Swiss wheel dealership.
I suggest Dave takes the Suunto manual with him at all times – I have one and if I want to time anything I take my £8 Decathlon instead.
I’m on a laptop that makes pictures look really thin, and those bars still look wider than Arthur Daley.
Liking those Shimano Shoes!
They are very good. They don’t look as clean now….
