Kenda K35 Street Wire Bead Bicycle Tire, Blackwall, 26-Inch x Review
I do NOT own this product.
But here's the thing....tire sizing is not universal. Old three speed bikes used the "26 x 1 3/8" size, while modern 26 in tires use a decimal format (i.e. 26 x 1.9). These are not interchangeable. The former is about 19mm larger than the latter.
Don't ask me why, just stop complaining about it.
It IS the size it says it is. YES it REALLY is.
If you were to do some research, you would find that there were actually FIVE different 26" tires. READ the sidewall of your current tire. If the size isn't the same (exactly the same, not mathematically equivelent) then you can NOT be sure it is the correct tire. A 26 1 3/8 is NOT the same as 26 x 1.375. If you don't like that, tough. The bike industry evolved over many decades. Some of us have vintage bikes that require this old size (which was a staple in the 70's and 80's) so I am GLAD it is still available.
If anything, you should blame mountain bikes (evolved from beach cruisers) for hijacking the 26" size that was already fairly standard before it. If you bought the wrong size, consider it a lesson learned and move on. Or show your friends and family how much you know about bike tires. Don't blame the tire.
This tire will fit the size it says it will fit. If it doesn't fit, you bought the wrong size. That is NOT a reflection of the tire. If you bought the wrong size tire for your car, would you blame that tire as well??

I have found this bike tire causes the bike to roll much easier. It's probably a combination of the tread design and the higher tire pressure 90psi. Very pleased with the tire.Honest reviews on Kenda K35 Street Wire Bead Bicycle Tire, Blackwall, 26-Inch x
Put a set of these on my 1971 Huffy 3 speed and they not only look good but are performing beyond what I thought they would. I would definitely buy these again. I have approx.130 miles on them (speedometer) and there is no sign of wear at all.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Kenda K35 Street Wire Bead Bicycle Tire, Blackwall, 26-Inch x
I'm just putting up another note to buyers.... these are an odd size tire; Schwinn made their proprietary size S7 rims in the 1960s, and these tires fit perfectly on those type rims. If you have a standard size 26" rim, like on a typical mountain bike for example, these tires will not fit.Sunday, May 11, 2014
Reviews of EWheels - Electric Trike Bicycle - EW-54 - Red
I bought this trike last year on Bikemania.biz. Exact same model. It arrived in a crate, fully assembled and ready to ride. I got it for less than $1,000 and that included tax and shipping. Of course, the price of everything has gone up, so I guess it's not a big surprise that this did, too. It has been a great alternative to driving and walking. It takes me an hour to walk one way to work (hey...I'm 60yr old) but I can make it in 15 minutes on this. There is a little learning curve when it comes to driveways and sidewalks, but I eventually learned that it is better to accelerate than to brake on a downslope; the weight of the back end will make it hard to control if you try braking, so just speed up a little and you'll pull up out of the dip easier. I do feel quite conspicuous on the thing, but I've got it 'tricked out' with all manner of color-changing lights (also available on Amazon) which make you ridiculously visible at night...but that's what I'm aiming at. I also bought (on Amazon) a ClassIII safety windbreaker to wear after dark, and it has saved my life (literally). I work in an ER so I see the results of drugs, cell-phones and just plain stupidity when it comes to bikes vs autos. It can get up to 17mph, which is fast enough to out-run a barking wiener dog. I haven't tested the limits of range, yet, but so far it hasn't let me down getting to work and back and running errands. The basket will hold a lot of groceries, and since I don't have a car any more (l gave it away, but that's a story for another time), it has saved a lot of wear and tear on my neck and shoulders trying to pack 40lb of groceries home. I have taken the dog to the vet and back, with a fluffy blanket for comfort. I recommend a lock for the basket if you are going to leave your helmet or any valuables in it for more than a couple of minutes. Most of the time, I use the bike version of The Club to lock it up at a bike rack, but I also have a very heavy bike chain I use to secure it while I'm at work. You can also get locks that have an alarm that'll go off if it's disturbed. At 75lbs, this is not a dash and grab item, but if a thief will take an ATM out of a store, they can take just about anything. Fortunately, the security guys at my job keep an eye on it for me, and will park their car out back and wait for me if it's after dark when I leave. It's been a lot of fun. You can't let yourself get too self-conscious about people pointing and staring. Kids love it, especially at night with all the lights flashing, and I often hear, "COOL BIKE" when I pass by. One thing I wish I'd researched before buying is the location of bike repair services, especially ones that work on electric vehicles. There have been a few problems with it, but nothing major and nothing electrical. You just plug it in to a standard outlet to recharge. Make sure you keep a wrench with you and be willing to get your hands dirty if either of the chains slip off. Remember, it will still run on battery if your chain disengages, but you'll use the power up faster. I haven't had to use just the pedals yet....thank goodness; it IS heavy and I would likely wind up having to get off and push. There really is nothing like cruising along with a little wind in your face, especially if you've had a tough day. You will get to see and hear things you had forgotten existed when you were boxed into your car, and if you want to feel like a kid again......it's worth every penny :)

I have to agree with the negative reviews on this product that I've seen on Amazon. I purchased this trike in March 2012 and have had nothing but trouble with it. It is a cheap Chinese made product without quality control. As previous reviews have stated their support is a joke. YOU, THE BUYER, ARE THE SUPPORT! Problems I have had are as follows, the pedals broke first because they are cheap plastic ones, the support center did send me some pedals, the same plastic type, I threw them away and went to WalMart and bought some good metal pedals. The rear basket does not fit to the frame well, fortunately there are holes drilled in the clasps so I was able to use cotter pins to hold down the basket. The front tire that came with it must have been a bad spare because shortly after receiving it, I had to replace it and the tube when the tire blew out. The fuse overheated and melted part of the plastic box containing the battery. I had to remove the burnt out fuse holder and replace it and the fuse. Later the battery connection broke off and I had to solder a good replacement connection to get the bike running again. The cheap seat broke as well and I replaced it with a more sturdy and comfortable seat. Finally the bike literally broke. I was not racing or going fast (Thank God I wasn't), just making a left turn after the light changed and the frame broke throwing me up against the curb. It cost me $117.70 to have it welded and a lot of aggravation trying to deal with E Wheels Support (still haven't been reimbursed). Except for the plastic pedal I have not gotten any support even though the website states the EW 88 is guaranteed for 1 year. My advice is DON"T BUY FROM E WHEELS or an E Wheel bike from their dealers.Best Deals for EWheels - Electric Trike Bicycle - EW-54 - Red
I would never purchase a product that tries to use fake reviews to get sales. 5star review has 8 Ewheels products and nothing else. There should be a way to flag this sort of thing. Amazon is a great resource but only if you can trust the sellers.Honest reviews on EWheels - Electric Trike Bicycle - EW-54 - Red
In checking the previous review (1 star) which said that ewheels makes their own reviews, it appears true. Clicking the "show previous reviews" from each of the 5 star reviewers, all of their reviews are for ewheels products -all different products -all with a catchy "My daughter bought this for me" or "I have a caramel corn business and this is my mobile office." Definitely questionable business tactics. Will not buy.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for EWheels - Electric Trike Bicycle - EW-54 - Red
Make sure you click on the name of the person reviewing the ewheels product and then look at how many 5 star reviews each of them have written... all 5 stars, all on multiple ewheels products... all of them attempting to correct the issues the REAL customers have with their product. This is a sad and poor way to run a business. BEWARE.Wednesday, January 8, 2014
Reviews of Onguard Akita Loop Cable Lock
End large enough be looped through each other to form a noose to maximize length.

I needed a sturdy cable to secure my set of racing wheels which I carry on a small trailer setup for just this purpose. The cable is the right length and the strength should be enough. I also like the fact that it is not coiled up tightly like so many other cable products.Best Deals for Onguard Akita Loop Cable Lock
You can't expect this cable to stop a determined thief. I purchased this as a mild deterrent. I purchased this one because a previous reviewer noted that it is not coiled up tightly. Though it comes coiled up as shown, it has no memory effect at all and lays completly flat and as straight as you want it to. This was important for my application.Honest reviews on Onguard Akita Loop Cable Lock
This has larger loops than my old one did. I think that if someone really wanted to they could cut it without too much trouble, but I use it mainly to lock my tools and ladders in my truck when I am at the lumber yard or at a restaurant for lunch so it meets my needsFind helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Onguard Akita Loop Cable Lock
We bought this product to use to keep our bikes locked inside a YardStash II while camping. It is very durable yet flexible and the loops at the end are large enough for a decent lock. Very happy.Friday, November 1, 2013
Avon Grips Velvet Air Cushion Chr W/Boss AIR-93-FLY-BOSS Review
List Price: $77.99
Sale Price: $57.82
Today's Bonus: 26% Off
I gave this product a rating of 4 out of 5 not because I wasn't absolutely pleased with the product, but because nothing reaches perfection. The grips meshed with the HD gear assembly with proper clearances and no freeplay. The palm assist is a very nice feature to have and is fully adjustable to your hand by simply moving the outer mesh ring a few teeth in either direction. I am very cautious about adding non-HD parts and concerned with function and appearance. These grips looks solid and compliments my bike with a purposed look.
