Pencil_Pusher Posted September 26, 2002 Posted September 26, 2002 Screw paying the $21.50 price at REI for the 1.5 pound can. Go on the web and get it for $13.95!! All I did was type Cytomax in the search box and a whole slew of companies came up with insane prices (versus rip-off REI). I forgot how much fun this office work really is. Quote
jon Posted September 26, 2002 Posted September 26, 2002 Or you could get a 4.5 pound can for $25 at Performance Bike! Quote
Pencil_Pusher Posted September 30, 2002 Author Posted September 30, 2002 A day late and a dollar short, Performance Bike's sale ended on Saturday. Too bad, that was a good sale. I redeemed my trip east by finding my way through the campus and to Marymoor. Deja vu going through the campus, not too long ago I was evading the docker patrol and visiting all the buildings. Does Codato post here? Quote
jon Posted September 30, 2002 Posted September 30, 2002 Performance will match any advertised price, just bring in the printed out page or the magazine. Quote
Ade Posted December 5, 2002 Posted December 5, 2002 I get mine from nashbar.com. At one point the big tubs were going there for about $25 too. Quote
Stefan Posted December 6, 2002 Posted December 6, 2002 You know what's better than Cytomax? Â Frozen concentrated orange juice. I buy it by the caseload when the cost goes to $.60 a can and keep in the freezer. One disadvantage.......can't really carry a can for the next day. But for one day outings, I highly recommend frozen concentrate orange juice. And if you use a bladder, buy the non-pulp stuff as it could get caught in the hose. Quote
Ade Posted December 6, 2002 Posted December 6, 2002 A bit acidic, carbo concentration of 12% is a bit high to facilitate good gastric emptying, low in sodium. Might be better if you over diluted it and added some salt. Â Goes off if it gets warm, a friend of mine discovered this the hard way on the second day up a route. Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted December 6, 2002 Posted December 6, 2002 All my best climbs I had 35 packs of gu and 4 packs of cytomax in my pack. Quote
sexual_chocolate Posted December 12, 2002 Posted December 12, 2002 I looked it up in my french/english dictionary and it said "sorry. Word not found." Â Is it a car? Quote

Bikeman Posted December 14, 2002 Posted December 14, 2002 I love cytomax == I drink it before and after endurance events. Anything under two hours of heavy endurance and it is not worth it but it makes me feel good and I sweat like a stuck pig . I get a bit of a stomach ache if I mix too strong so it is important to find the dilution factor tha works for you. Electrolyte replacement is of supreme importance to me.

genepires Posted December 14, 2002 Posted December 14, 2002 Wondering if anyone ever had a wierd chemical reaction with cytomax like I did this summer. I was loading up my dromedary bag with glacier water and regular amounts of cytomax. The grains of cytomax didn't dissolve but absorbed water and became little mushy balls about the size of a grain of rice. The entire dromedary was full of these granules and tasted real bland. (had to try of course which probably wasn't a smart thing to do) I have used aquamira in this bladder many times before but the bladder was rinsed out before. Could chlorine dioxide (or the phosphoric acid) be leaching out of the dromedary? Could residual chlorine dioxide (or the phosphoric acid) be reacting with cytomax to prevent it from dissolving? Maybe the water was too cold for dissolving? Quote
