Internet Shopping – weighing up the bargains Increasingly, we are experiencing challenges with internet shoppers who expect Fusion Cycles to return bike equipment bought over the internet. We have commitments from our suppliers to replace and repair equipment purchased from them and our suppliers will honour a warranty, provided the installation is conducted by one of our expert team. Our suppliers will not warrant/replace or repair equipment purchased over the internet.
We are happy to install and repair equipment purchased over the internet but it will be at full workshop chargeout rates compared with free installation and warranty repairs when equipment is purchased instore.
Below is a comparison of the costs and benefits of purchasing a groupset from Fusion Cycles versus an internet purchase. Example product: Groupset Campagnolo Chorus
(this is an example only and exact costs will depend on the repairs required)

Although sometimes over emphasised, especially in endurance racing in cooler climates, hydration is an essential part of training and race performance that can have a big impact on the body's ability to perform at 100%. As sweat loss increases, fluid volumes in the body and the ability to maintain homeostasis decreases, meaning that the body has to regulate intensity and duration or eventually it will venture outside of its physiological limits and cease to exist. This is extreme but what the body is very good at, is stopping itself from ceasing to exist. So as the body loses homeostasis it starts slowing down or reducing physiological output and as a consequence you slow down or are forced to stop. Simple but relatively accurate measures of fluid losses can be achieved through the use of a set of bathroom scales. Measure body weight pre training and post training in as little clothes as possible and dried down. Calculate how much food and fluid you consumed during the time between weigh in’s. Add that intake to your losses and you will have an estimate of you losses over the period. You may need to estimate fluid lost through urine if you have been to the toilet multiple times during the session. This then needs to be translated back into a fluid replacement plan that can be used in both training and competition. (see your local sports dietitian who can assist with this)
