These gloves are very comfortable and allow better use of fingers for fine tasks. They feel like a pair of fine driving gloves (as one user with the same complaint put it), but their advertising implies that they are for doing real work. The thin, soft, leather wears out very quickly when used where there is any significant friction or abrasion (e.g., handling firewood, shoveling dirt or gravel, handling a loaded wheelbarrow, picking up rocks, etc.). They are fine with smooth-handled tools, like polished metal or fiberglass, but wear out quickly when used with smooth, but weathered, wooden handled tools, for example. I will buy a replacement pair, but will be more selective about what I use them for.

I bought these gloves about a weekago. I work in a garage that specializes in tire installations etc...I thought these would be perfect. They fit great. I could type wearing them...lugnuts were no problem. The problem is they wore away on the fingers where i grip things. I'm very surprised the rest of the glove looks brand new. I tried the other mechanix gloves with the padded palms but those are just slightly too bulky, which is unfortunate. Imight try these again but im very leery about them wearing away again.. I might just cut away the fingers, but that seems like a waste to me. Oh well I suppose these gloves would be excellent for things such as raking, maybe gardening, or maybe engine work. But my overall impression it's a very good fitting, tight, workable glove, just don't work them too hard!

I had a pair of these (not the stealth style) and lost one of them so when I saw Amazon selling them for only 20 bucks I grabbed them.

They have excellent grip, are very comfortable and they look really cool. I use them for work, but I also use them sometimes for driving because they have such great grip. Mechanix makes great products very high quality.

Honest reviews on Mechanix Wear The Original Covert Glove

Great gloves at a great price. I work on A-10s and needed something to reduce the hand beatings I get on a regular basis. These gloves arrived in record time from Amazon (thanks!). They fit very snugly to my hands (in a good way) and provide excellent dexterity. I am able to do wire repair and pick up coins with no problem.

Unfortunately, I was only able to get about two months out of them before a hole developed in the right thumb. It got progressively bigger over the course of a week before I decided to throw them away. Though they are not as durable as I would like them to be, I will be purchasing another pair to give them a second chance.

They are quite large and heavy and not very quick to remove and replace. I think I would rather just carry a spanner in my saddle bag.

Got my wife and son new bikes and neither one had quick disconnect front wheels which made putting them in the back of my truck a pain in the butt. These worked perfectly to fix that! Super easy to install and the washers included made it easy to get a nice tight fit. I would definitely recommend these to anyone who wants to make their wheels quick disconnect without having to hunt around for hub conversion.

These DO work well to quickly remove the front bicycle wheel quickly.

But then there are FIVE pieces for each side that I must keep up with (including the little metal ring already on the bike). If I lose one, I think I can't just go to the hardware store and get another... So one night I lost a piece while putting my bike in my roommate's car, and I had to borrow her car to drive the 13 miles back to my job to look for that very specific little black part.

Also, every time I reattach the wheel, I end up with a different position for the handles. The kit comes with washers of varying sizes so that a person can set the handles perfectly vertical...but I have to reset them every time with different washers.

Surely there is a least a way to choose the needed washer size and then screw the entire contraption together, so that when you take the wheel off next time, all the pieces don't just fall on the ground.

Over all, I am indeed grateful that I have them!

Discount ULTRA BIKE CLUB, ANTI-THEFT LOCK

ULTRA BIKE CLUB, ANTI-THEFT LOCK
Customer Ratings: 3.5 stars
Buy Now
Anybody wanting to protect their bikes should go with this bad boy; comes with three locks, which is handy for a notorious key-loser, like myself. The key/lock is intricate & I don't see your everyday lock-picker being able to figure it out fast enough to get away with a bike unnoticed. It's super easy to slip on & off, & tightens to leave less room for a crow bar to fit in & work it off (I don't even think that'd work, this thing seems so sturdy...) the 1st half of the device locks deep into the 2nd part, unlike the kryptonite bike locks, which have such a shallow point of connection. I've had two bikes stolen before with different locks, and four months in, I'm having great success with this lock! All in all worth the price :-)

Good lock, easy to use. The first time I used it, my husband and I were together handled two bikes without any problem. The adjust-ability is nice but I wish it had included a mounting bracket. I'm not quite sure how I want to carry it, other than in a backpack.

Lock appeared to be good however lock is too darn heavy! I'm familiar with club because I have one for my car but this bike lock is just way too heavy!

Cheap bottom Bracket - TruVativ Bottom Bracket - LE Square Tapered BB

Like another reviewer, my bottom bracket arrived with the spindle in the bottom bracket backwards. If you try installing it that way, the drive side will be a few millimeters toward the bike & the non-drive side will be a few millimeters to far away from the bike. I pulled the bottom bracket apart and switched the spindle to the proper orientation and put it in the bike. IT IS NOT EASY TO FIX THE BOTTOM BRACKET. It worked fine after a lot of messing around to switch the orientation of the spindle. The one star review is a warning that you might be buying a defective product that you may or may not be able to even use. The bottom bracket is also MADE IN CHINA but the bearing and materials seem to be of decent quality. Truvativ is owned by SRAM, and I'm planning to contact them about the problems with the bottom brackets they're selling thru Amazon.

I use this on my 10 year old Trek mountain bike. The fit was not perfect, had to adjust the front derailleur after installing. Will have to see how it holds up riding in rainy weather through the winter.

I was about to return it but just as i was putting it in the box

I noticed that the drive side was shorter than the non driveside. Which means the bloody axel was backwards.!!!

Really now !! I was about to buy a larger size bottom bracket because i knew i measured it right but it was short. The rings touched the frame and that is very bad. So i smacked it a few times to pop out the bearings flipped it and reinstalled it. Took 45 mins worth of tapping i was being firm but gentle. Using my hand and a hammer. Reseating the bearings was the main amount of time. But if i didn't already know about that rule. Which is true for any bb. i would've been stuck. Thanks for the bottom bracket lesson reminder.

I bent my ugly and dorky mini-ape hangers that came on my bike in a low-side crash (diesel spill) and I knew that drag bars wouldn't clear my tank without risers, sort of ruining the point, so I heard about euro bend handlebars, and from a fit, comfort and strength point of view these are actually really great. Unfortunately, whatever was used to make them black is not powder coating, it is a thin rubbery plastic-like coating that easily gets scratched. My clutch mount carved a long ribbon of the stuff off going on and my left hand grip folded up what was left. It looks OK with everything on but I have no idea if it is going to corrode under there or what and I wish I had spent the few extra bucks for a powder coated bar.
