Any girls here that have experience with a compact double?
I love the cyclocross bikes, especially the Giant TCX but it has a compact double. Am used to a triple crankset, and since I live on a mountain am not so sure if a compact double will do? Anyone can tell me?

Sjogren's syndrome
I'm assuming that someone on this forum has Sjogren's. Have you found anything that has made a marked improvement on your condition? any herbs, alternative therapies, along with conventional? I'm asking because my mother has it, and she's pretty much eschewed any form of treatment,...

cyclocross with double or triple crank set?
You know, somehow this cyclocross bike keeps coming back to me. First I thought it would be great to go on gravel, mud, local trails here but then I was told I could do that too with a road bike. I still like the possibilities you have with a cyclocross bike, only the one I tested was a double...

phone cradle
I am looking for a phone cradle to be mounted on my handlebars that will fit my blackberry curve 8330. Not looking for a pouch as I want to be able to see the phone.

How do you start?
I am 46, in good shape, and am attracted to training for triathalons. However, I have two considerations: 1.My age - and keep in mind I know nothing about how triathalons are structured. Are there age groups? If so how broad are the age groups (within 10 years, five years, etc.) 2. I don't...

Wetsuits
Hi. I've done two sprints and am planning on more this summer. I'm thinking of getting a wetsuit. I'm a confident and good swimmer but am curious about it. xterra is selling their volt sleeveless suit for $99 which sounds like a great deal. Any thoughts on sleeveless vs. sleeves? I tried a...

Used, Not Stolen?
If you are buying a used bike, say off the craigslist, how do you make sure, or at least reasonably sure, it's not stolen? My first instinct would be ask for a receipt, but then, I'm pretty sure I don't have the receipt for my bike any more. My second instinct would be to not buy from...

Step-through bike for Xtracycle build
DD has outgrown her trailer and I've been looking into options to tow her and her bike. Originally I was going to purchase a FollowMe (http://www.followme-tandem.com/), but I'm thinking I'd be better off putting the funds toward something I can use beyond the next couple of years. Right now I think...
