Review of 2 Bike Bicycle Cycle Cycling Tyre Wheel Spoke LED Blue Light Lamp 3

2 Bike Bicycle Cycle Cycling Tyre Wheel Spoke LED Blue Light Lamp 3 Modes
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars

These spoke lights are terrific for visibility. They have multiple light functions, so it's not just a steady light going around in circles when you cycle. The strobe makes for terrific visibility, especially around dusk. Easy to install, easy to use, and lightweight, so there is no extra rotational weight, for those concerned about rotational grams slowing them down.

I just love the blue and it is very awesome. Remember to use zip tags to secure the light to your wheel otherwise, you will be very upset that it falls off and lost the same day but this is really cool on my bike. Will buy it again.

Just got these and put them on, I put two on each wheel and they are bright and it does give the full circle effect when i am riding fast, one thing I can actually feel the weight of these things on my rims its minimal but i am a weight weenie.

The color of the tyre wheel spoke light was wonderful! I love the three different light options or strobe, fast strobe, and on. However, the light wouldn't stay on the spoke of my tire. It didn't matter how hard I pushed the cut out rivet of the light on to the spoke, it would pop off after a few rotations of the tire. I finally ended up zip tying it to the spoke with the two holes that came in the light which worked great!

Going from road riding to using this thing took a little getting used to, but after about 20 miles I had no problems. The setup was very easy and I can ride with my two small children asleep in the next room.

I bought this to hook up to my old mountain bike to use this winter to get in shape. Very easy to set up and quality of frame is excellent. I bought the version with the remote cable tension adjustment. Probably not needed as switching gears will likely change the tension enough. It's incredibly quiet as the only point of contact is the braking area on the back tire.

The trainer will lift the back tire about two (2) inches from the floor. I used a few 2x4's to prop up the front tire rather than buy a front tire brace.

I've also gotten into the habit of releasing the tension springs on the two friction wheels that contact with the back tire when I don't use it. I don't want there to be any flat spots on the tension wheels themselves. Might be a bit overboard but would rather be safe than sorry.

I have a bunch of burley mountain bikes that never see a slick tire, ever. This trainer allows me to run my gnarley bikes without any issues. I have used it with my trail bike, a dirt jump single speed, and a full on downhill race bike. The bikes easly and quickly mount up to the trainer, and the rim drive friction unit clicks up against the rim with a snap of a lever. The rim drive unit uses soft rubber drive wheels that roll along the rim, so it wont rub the paint off of the rim if you use disk brakes. The unit is very well built and sturdy. Operation is very smooth and positive. I got the remote option which I would recommend due to its ease of use. You wont be sorry with this fine piece of Japanese engineering...

Honest reviews on Minoura RDA80R Rimdrive Trainer

Arrived very quickly, VERY easy to set up and get adjusted. Had a roller model that my son has claimed for his road bikes, decided to go with this for my mountain bikes. Vey quiet and lets me get miles in when I work late or weather makes it too bad to be outside. Not quite like being out, but is definately worth it. Made in Japan!! , high quality and not made in China. Very little noise, won't disturb others in next room, plus rimdrive allows me to keep the knobbies on. Noticed that this years Tour de France winner Evans starred on mountain bikes first.

I bought this particular model (specifically a rim drive) because I have a mountain bike and after reading up on trainers, the bike pros suggested this as it will not chew up the tire treads. The other type of trainers are made for speed bikes which have way less treads.

Bike Requirements The Trainer has minimum requirements for bike height and rim width. Measure your bike before buying to make sure you can use it with your bike.

Assembly The instructions are not very detailed, and for someone who has never used a trainer, it took a while before realizing what exactly needed to be done to mount the bike on the trainer. Only by looking at the picture on the box was I able to figure it out.

Results I've been using the bike trainer for about 3 weeks now. I love it. It's quiet and sturdy. It has a remote cable you attach to the handle bars to change pressure on the rim. you can also use your gears to do the workout as well. Just put on some music or a video and pedal away for a great workout.

This bike was a present to my daughter. She loved it!!!! Unfortunately the shipper didn't take much care in shipping it. When she got it there were a few holes in the box. When she put the bike together she noticed one of the spokes was undone. Too late to ship it back. Hopefully a bike shop can repair it.

They are 3M Scotchlite. They show up really well when a cars headlights hit them. They are a LOT better than those big wheel reflectors that come on your bike, they won't make the wheel out of balance, you can barely see them in the daytime, but really show off are night! They are just small split tubes on 3M. there is nothing to peel off, you just snap them on as many spokes as you want and off you go! If you ride ride at night and on the street, you NEED these!

These things do reflect light, and weigh almost nothing. I do not know how much of a safety difference they make but they are worth a try.

I recently purchased a new bike, and wanted to make sure it was protected against theft. My last bike, a Mongoose from Walmart, was stolen while locked up one night. The jerk just used bolt cutters to get right through the lock I had, it was a cheap bike and a cheap lock so I wasn't too disappointed. However, after spending over $500 on my bike this time around I wanted something that offered a little more protection. Enter the OnGuard Pitbull. This thing is heavy, and I would love to see someone try to cut this thing with standard bolt cutters. The title is misleading, as the cable it comes with is 4 feet, not 4 inches. It' great, actually thicker than the one that held my last bike "safe," it just needs a padlock to close it up. The mounting bracket attaches easily, and the lock is out of the way while riding. It comes with a set of 5 keys, one of which has an LED light to help find the lock in the darkvery useful for finding anything dropped on the ground as well. I read several places to get a lock that was 10% the price of your bike, so I took this to heart when I got this lock, not quite 10%, but I feel I got a good deal on it. Shipping took a little longer than expected but it was well-packaged and arrived the day before I got my bike. Their $2000 or so theft protection guarantee is pretty nice as well, in case someone can actually break this thing.

I just received mine today and it appears to be a fairly serious lock. Comments about the inadequacy of the mounting bracket are accurate... I tried to use it on the rear stay and couldn't find a place to mount it where it didn't smack the frame or get in the way of riding, and the lock is so heavy that I was afraid that a good bounce would knock it right out of the bracket. I use a Topeak beam rear rack with a matching bag to carry incidentals when riding around...keys, wallet, glasses etc. and my solution to the problem was to carry the cross bar and cable in the rear rack bag and use the mounting bracket to just hold the u-bar part of the lock (the assembled lock is simply too big to fit into the bag when put together). This seems to work very well and having shed half the weight of the lock makes the bracket closer to being adequate and the U-bar is comfortably out of the way when riding. The cable is of generous length, plenty to secure the front wheel, 4 feet in length, not 4" like the description says (and which has already been pointed out by others). Certainly the cable provides not much more than some additional visual deterrent and maybe a few seconds additional time if someone were quite determined to steal my bike, but I guess I have about as much security as is reasonable to carry around. My bike is brand new, a Specialized Hardrock Disc and on my first brief ride around town I already got some serious stares from a couple of guys up in the town square, and some comments about what a great looking bike it was from a group of guys I was near while waiting for a light to change. While I am glad to have a nice looking bike, it worries me that it gets as much attention as it apparently does... all in the space of 10 or so minutes.

This seems pretty strong and it is nice that it comes with so many keys. I trust my bikes with this lock much more than a cable lock and it is long enough to go through the bike frame and rack frame.

This is my first lock. I love the fact comes with 4 feet loop cable so I can hook the wheels to the frame of the bike.

This is a super sturdy lock. It would take some serious tool to cut through these locks. I also like this lock because it comes with the cable that allows you to hook the wheels to the frame of the bike. That being said, it's very difficult to use. The key and lock is difficult to turn and couple of times, when I thought the lock had snapped into place, it wasn't, and tugs off. I still haven't decided if I like these locks. If given the chance again, I probably won't buy them again.

Cheap Steel Frame Bicycle Cargo Trailer Cart Carrier Yellow and Black

Steel Frame Bicycle Cargo Trailer Cart Carrier Yellow and Black Trailers
Customer Ratings: 5 stars

We were moving to an area where we could be car light so I bought this to use when shopping for hardware and plants. When our move was postponed the trailer sat in the box unused. I loaned it to another cyclist who is also a bicycle mechanic. He loaded up his tools, bike maintenance stand, table, stool and supplies till the trailer is over-flowing. We're positive his load is over the weight limit stated for the product, yet the trailer shows no signs of stress. No wheel bow, no bed sag, no squeaking or straining sounds at all. He bought it from me and uses it to make "trail calls"

I like this one better than the other cargo trailer of similar looks, because this one has the canvas on the sides like a Burley Nomad so it covers the steel bed thoroughly while the other brand is like a canvas bag sitting on top of, but not covering the steel bed.

It has a better fitting cover than the other brand and the cover has a zippered access panel on top.

The wheels have real bearings that were properly packed. I guess some trailers don't have bearings?

It weighs less than stated

The one Con; all of the different brand of cargo trailers use steel for all metal parts and a not so long lasting paint treatment. Keep it dry and touch up the paint often to keep rust at bay.

When we finally do move, I'll order another one.

I am really impressed with this bike trailer. I looked at similar trailers at my local bike shop. The others were not terribly impressive, and cost 2 to 10 times as much as this one even when you include shipping. The trailer arrived in a box that would fit in the trunk of any small car. The trailer is nearly entirely assembled. All you have to do is slide the wheels (with real cartridge bearings) onto short axle bars and install clips to hold them in place. The axles then slide into the trailer frame with a quick disconnect. The sides and tongue fold out and connect with quick release pins. So what all those quick release connections means is, it folds down in seconds and can fit back in a car trunk. I have a mountain bike with disc brakes. I was concerned that the hitch mount might not fit as it goes on the left rear axle where most bikes to not have anything already there. The hitch pin went on the bike in seconds, and fit with no problem. The hitch pin is left in place on the bike even when riding without the trailer, and is small and unobtrusive. The trailer hooks to the bike pin with another quick release, so taking the trailer on/off the bike is effortless. The design of the trailer tongue is ingenious and twist and bends in many directions allowing effortless pulling. My primary purpose for buying the trailer was for LSU tailgating. I have a friend with an RV spot on campus for tailgating. But there is never any parking for extra cars. I can park downtown, load the trailer with chairs, a full cooler, food, and other assorted items and ride the levy bike trail to campus. We have to ride up/down hills, over terrible roads, hop curbs, across grass, through gravel lots, while dodging people and traffic. The trailer takes all that loaded with no issues. Shipping time said 7-10 days. I got it in 2 days. I couldn't be happier. Stop looking at the rest and buy this.

bought mainly because the price was significantly lower than other brands. It came pre-assembled with the exception of the wheels. The only instructions are for the wheel axle assemble and a picture of how to attach to the rear of bike. First trip out so far: tracks well and follows smoothly, took on 2 mile trip to grocery store for a full week of supplies.

A word of caution, after inflating one of the tires I noticed a "bubble", not sure how it happened or who is at fault, but I will have to replace the tube and double check the tire itself for any damage to the wall.

This product is just what I needed to do what I had to do and use my bike to work for me. It helps to go to the store and even the laundry mat and it saves on gas. It pulls good behind the bike and even helps out on the exerise part also which is great.
