OT: Power Balance Products

Bauch · #1 06-04-2011, 07:30 PM

I'm just curious if anyone on this forum has any experience with Power Balance bracelets at all. I have read some less than flattering reviews that assert that they are playing on nothing more than the placebo effect, but I'm curious if any cyclists here have used them.

FYI, I have no affiliation with the company, was just curious if the combined wisdom of the board can shed some light on the general opinion of these things.

That's the sense I got from just a quick perusal of the Web, but I was interested in whether or not anyone on the forum has ever used them.

I have not used... It is a con like so many other no work big reward products. More or less a legal way to scam people in the old days they used a idea of something like a fixed horse race. Different times different ideas but just another con. If it looks like it is too good to be true...... it is.
