Buy Velocity A23 Pro Build Wheelset

Customer Ratings:

I now have over 2,000 miles on these wheels. They are still perfectly true with good spoke tension. The wheels are light, handle very well and deliver smooth and consistent braking.

These wheels ride remarkably different from my Mavic Krysium SLs. Feels solidly on the road, takes corners much like on a rail. I didn't believe the 23mm width could make this much difference. It makes a 23c tire ride like a 25. Good road feel (through the Conti 4000s tires). These climb really well and descend well. I'm 5'10" 180 lbs. I don't feel any flex standing or sitting. A person at Velocity assured me these wheels could handle a person up to 210 or 220 lbs for road riding. Great wheels so far, great price.

Very pleased with the wheels. Spoke tension was uniform and they ride great. The 23mm width makes a difference, I have a set of the comp build too. Very impressed with Velocity.

Discount Avenir Thorn-Resistant Schrader Valve Tube

Customer Ratings:

If you're counting ounces, then you'll notice the heft of this tire.

Otherwise, you won't. You'll just notice it's not flimsy, and doesn't tear itself open at the slightest scuff.

Easy to install. Valve is well machined.

The stem, as others have noted, is not as heavily attached as you might think. Basically, it's a patch applied to the inside, and another to the outside. The rubber is thin around the neck.

If you pull hard (or you get tube creep in the wheel, then this could be damaged.

Also, if your rims have sharp openings, then you're likely to cut through the stem rubber.

But really, what you should do is file off any sharp bits on the rims before replacing your tube. The stem is not meant to resist being cut off by sharpened steel. I found this is why my old tube failed. A little work with a medium file, and verify with my finger that there are no sharp edges. Should be great.

They seemed to be bigger than the size stated. Because they are extremely thick, I had to adjust then ALOT!!!! After the bumps were finally out I went for a ride and pulled over. Checked my back tire and I hear air coming out! The back inner tube was flat... Didn't know why, I had bought both puncture resistant inner tubes and tires... Horrible product. The air went out so fast, i'm almost sure that there was a huge hole. Wasn't package very well sure they probably came like that... do not recommend. I wish I could get my money back but I don't want to deal with it. Do not buy..

Honest reviews on Avenir Thorn-Resistant Schrader Valve Tube

Great product, came early and installed without issue. Just beware thorn resistant means thicker rubber by design, it's not a problem. Would strongly recommend this for kids bikes if you live in Florida (sandspurs are killer on tubes)

I bought this for my vintage Raleigh three speed and it is thick rubber but it fit easily onto the rim. It was actually easier to handle since it was so sturdy unlike a normal, flimsy tube.

It was heavier than a normal tube of course, but if the thick rubber should keep the punctures few and far between.

I purchased this bike from Amazon. It arrived in a large box the bicycle box was inside an outer packing box. It was well packed minimum packing material. The bicycle needs to be assembled The handle bars need to be attached. The seat and front wheel need to be attached. The pedals also need to be attached. Minor adjustments needed to be made to the brakes, but was not difficult. Assembly is not difficult once you figure out how to do it The manual that came with the bike is generic not specific to this bike. I would suggest you go to the Schwinn website first before you buy this or any bike on-line to see if you want to handle the assembly yourself. I went on the Schwinn website and watched a video that takes you step by step through the assembly process. Was able to assemble the bike in about 45 minutes following the video. You will need simple tools a set of a hex keys (Allen wrenches), a screwdriver, adjustable wrench. You also need lubricant (I used white lithium grease).

The seat attaches with a quick release mechanism, as does the front wheel. It makes it easy to adjust without the need for tools.

The pedals just screw on be sure you put the left on the left and the right on the right as they are not interchangeable.

You might want to take it to a bike shop to adjust the breaks.

Overall, a good purchase.

I have tried them all mountain bikes, road bikes, etc. But this bike is the ultimate in comfort and function. I did research on the steel frame vs. aluminum frame. I chose this because my research concluded that the steel frame is not lighter but far more comfortable and durable.

Honest reviews on Schwinn Men's Suburban CS Comfort Bike, 26-Inch, Charcoal/Tan

I researched the types of bikes available today according to their purpose and I'm very happy with this bike. I sold a mountain bike and replaced it with this one. This is a Comfort bike and for me, it's unbelievably comfortable. The stock seat isn't bad at all but I replaced it with a Mens Cloud-9 seat anyway. The weight of the bike surprised me as it turned out to be lighter than I expected. The 21 gears are the same setup and ratio as you see on most bikes. The handle bars are adjustable so you can raise them up or lower them a bit to your preference. It definitely has improved comfort on longer rides. I'd have no reservations about recommending this bike.

After saving my PNC points up where I could finally get "Sears" gift cards, I purchased this bike. I haven't enjoyed biking this much since I was probably about 10 or so...lol. The aluminum frame and 21 gears make this bike an absolute pleasure to ride. Very adjustable for anyone from probably around 5'6 to 6'1. If you want to take a ride of less than 10 miles or so, you can certainly do that in comfort. The seat and seat shock really work very good and the front fork shock really soaks up the bumps. It's nothing for us to take a 2-6 mile ride without blinking an eye. Now I wouldn't recommend anyone try and use this for extreme or super hardcore type riding. That just isn't this bikes cup of tea.

However, if want to go off the beaten path a bit and do some moderate trail riding, you can certainly do that with this bike. If you don't have one now, this bike goes fast enough to make you wish you had a bicycle helment! If your looking to ride to or through a local park, you have found your bike. If you haven't been comfortable or confident with a bike in a while, this bike will absolutely get you back in the game. I can't tell you enough how satisfied I am with this purchase. Far supassing my expectations. If you want to have some comfort and some smiles as you rack up the miles... this IS the bike for you.

I saw some mixed reviews, but given the price, this works great!

1) Removal of bearings was straight forward.

2) With the two large metal bushings (included) installation was also a snap. Purchase a 1/2" x 5" bolt to compress the bearings with the aid of the bushings. They will go in straight as an arrow.

Save yourself the $100's and do not buy the overpriced compression tools for Park Tools and others. Unless you are full time professional mechanic, this is more than you will ever need.

Alex Toys Z1000 28H Alloy 3/8-Inch FW Nutted Rear Wheel Reviews

Customer Ratings:

good for mini-sized bikes (16") that come with coaster brake hubs. this wheel makes it a standard freewheel (spin on the back-pedal), which is great for having kids learn to use hand brakes, when they're available on that sized bicycle. In a word: it's an upgrade to the stock wheel on these little (junk) kid bikes. the sprocket is any standard threaded sprocket, and it does not come included.

the wheel came true. the lock nuts were too tight and needed backing-off a quarter turn or so. bearing grease was also almost non-existent. these adjustments are probably best made by your local bike shop, and are issues that happen to just about every pre-fab wheel of this price range. 20 minutes of adjustment, and your bike wheel is ready to roll.

Discount Axle Release Classic Quick Release Adapter

Customer Ratings:

Update: July 7 2013I am downgrading my rating to about 1.5 stars. Some company should reissue old-style WINGNUTS that do the same job, have no moving parts, cost about $2-3 each, and are simply a replacement for each axle nut. This problem was solved in 1920 and forgotten with QR hubs for racing.

Original review: These look like the perfect product, but they are HEAVY. Considering that they replace the need to carry a wrench, they are nice. But.. a small wrench weighs almost nothing. These feel like 10 lbs in the packagevery disappointing. I put them on my Shimano Nexus 8 speed bike (rear)but it is such a pain to change a flatone still needs several tools for thatthese release devices seem pointless now. With a 1 or 3 speed these might be a perfect fit. As for my Nexus 8 speed-DON'T. Get a quality 3 speedyou will be happier if you have a flat.

Put the Pro version on a vintage ten-speed. The rear wheel was thrown out of true, 1.5 miles from home, and was rubbing against the chain stay. Since I do not yet have a tool kit on the bike, I was able to loosen and reposition the rear wheel in the dropouts such that I was able to make the journey home. Considering I had planned on cycling at least 15 miles (one way) these release adapters saved me a long walk home. They are designed such that if one side comes loose the wheel is still held securely by the other QR adapter.

Overall the bike is a quality bike. It rides well. It's very comfortable. It looks great.

The assembly of the bike was not as easy as Nirve would have you believe. The front brakes (V-brake) do not have much space. It looks like 2 or so millimeters, so if your wheel is a little off or not true, it will rub on the brake pads.

PROBLEM: When I received the bike, the front wheel was not true, the gears were configured incorrectly, the brake handle was assembled incorrectly, and the chain was too tight. I had to bring it into a local bike shop to have these issues addressed, which cost me 30 dollars.

The packaging was in good condition when I receive the bike, so the issues I had with it seem to stem from the initial assembly and packaging by Nirve. This is a bit annoying since Nirve states on their website that these bikes can easily be assembled at home. This was reiterated by a customer service representative from Nirve. If you assemble the bike yourself and run into any issues, you should take it to your local bike shop and have them take a look at it. It's probably an issue with the bike and not your assembly.

The customer service from Nirve was pretty good. I sent an email full of questions, and I received a very detailed reply within two days.

For me, I would use this for all cold outdoor activities except motorcycle riding. Jacket is powered on for an hour and a half at 100% power for two days before I would need to charge battery.

For the most part, I stayed warm until my hands got cold, which was about 30 minutes into my hour and a half ride.

If you need to replace a wheel and want the least expensive that's at least the minimum quality for a bike that gets ridden a lot, this is a deal.

First thing though, take the hub nuts off and grease the bearings they're just about dry from the factory. Also the wheel was not really true and I need to take some time and true it up, but it's close enough that it doesn't feel urgent.

Bottom line, it's OK to buy this wheel. But don't hope for more than a low end, minimum quality wheel.

Best Masterbuilt HMXCR HITCH-HAUL Steel Motorcycle Carrier Deals

Customer Ratings:

I have a 250 Kawasaki Dual Sport that I load on to this carrier. The bike is about 75-100 lbs less than the carrying limit. The bike is relatively easy to load and take off, I can do it by my self, but that may not be true for everyone as I am a relatively tall person with circus like arms. The frame of the carrier shows some twisting as the bike is loaded onto the carrier. I am not sure if this is true with all carriers, but as there is only one central mounting point (the hitch) the shear physics of the weight on one side lead me to believe this would be the same on all carriers. The twisting goes away as soon as the bike is loaded on. It did not come with any tie down straps, but this was remedied with about 30 dollars in straps from the local true value. All in all I am very happy with the way this carrier performs and I recommend it.

This carrier is very adjustable and sturdy. It is constructed of steel, with multiple locations for pins and bolts to accommodate a variety of different sized motorcycles.

It works very well as designed, but could be better engineered if it was made so tightening the bolts didn't begin to crush the steel tubing.

Honest reviews on Masterbuilt HMXCR HITCH-HAUL Steel Motorcycle Carrier

I used this on a 2,000 mile trip with a KLR650 on the back of a 2005 Tacoma. Getting the bike loaded deformed the metal a little bit so after the first use I put a block under the end to support it while loading and unloading. For the price it did a fair job considering other carriers can get up to $500 and more. I'm sure with a lighter bike it would do much better. For larger bikes you might find it blocks the taillights so consider getting some magnetic or strap on taillights with it (typically used when towing another vehicle).

When I was shipped the box, it was obvious that it had been opened. Some of the banding had been cut as if to try them out. The box was taped back in such a manner that pieces could fall out. I looked for the bolts to put it together to no avail. (Gone). Then I opened the manual and read,"For off-road use only". Well, when I bought the hauler there was nothing said about "off road use only" I have a motorcycle and I wanted to carry it on the back of my motorhome.

This is not at all what I expected.

Bell Fraction Youth Multi-Sport Helmet Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I purchased the small size last year for my now 3.5 year old. At the time, with the thickest padding in place, the helmet would not sit on top of her head without sliding back. Upon tightening the chin strap, the helmet would still try to slide back and it would then cause her pain at her throat.

The chin straps are also of a satin slippery finish and they loosen after a half hour or so of wear. Last year I thought that perhaps she was just too small, but now one year later the helmet still fits her the same and still has the same issues. She is an average sized kid with average sized head so there is no special concern here.

So, I recently bought myself a Bern helmet and found that it fit better than any helmet I have myself owned, and now I am going to get my kid a Bern youth size. I am hoping it won't look like a "spaceship landed on top of their head" like this Bell helmet does.

While the two padding sizes that come with this Bell helmet are in theory a good idea, it seems however that the paddings and the weight of the helmet are not well placed. I like that the Bern helmet simply comes with an adjustable velcro strap in the back (much like a baseball cap) with which you can tighten the helmet in place. It also wraps around the skull as opposed to sitting on top of the head like the Bell appears to do.

Update: I did get the Bern Nina helmet and found it to be a vast vast improvement over this Bell helmet. No comparison at all. The Bern sits firmly on her head and does not move at all, and like the adult version it has the adjustable velcro strap in the back smart. I also like the style better, its more 1950's Italian motorist than spaceship on top of head. The best part is that the helmet has options for winter padding and summer visor, which is a huge bonus. I am very happy to get rid of the Bell helmet now that we have the Bern, and my daughter is no longer complaining about wearing a helmet.

I measured my son's head to be ~19+" and I was leaning towards purchasing the small size helmet. I'm glad amazon was sold out and I was forced to purchase the x-small.

The helmet comes with 3 sets of velcro-attached pad sets and he's using the set for the smallest head size.

He loves wearing it, often running around happily even if he's not using his bike. The only downside is the excessive amount of chin strap, I can't imagine even when his head is at it's largest he'll ever need all that strap length.

Extremely cool color and design. He hasn't fallen in it yet, so I don't know how it protects, but he has chucked it across the room and it seems tough and able to withstand the emotional vagaries of a 19month old.
