Reviews of Kolpin Convertible Rear Drop Rack

Customer Ratings:

Fsst Shipping. Good price. Sturdy and easy to assemble. Needs a better way to mount it to the rack. Had to use some other clamps for better mounting. Otherwise great!

The attaching hardware was/is a joke. It bends easily and rattles, I used stainless clamps and thick rubber hose to act as a insulator between the racks. It is light though...

Honest reviews on Kolpin Convertible Rear Drop Rack

Pretty decent and as advertised. Fairly light weight, however. Firewood load started bending the screen, but frame is holding up so far. Recommend either adding more ubolt assembles or heavy wire ties, as I did.

Got this bike for my 2yo last week after doing a lot of research. Before I talk about the product I need to address the reviews found on this site and others. It is clear to me that many of the reviews were either paid for or written by the manufacturer. Just look at the words and phrasing. Also notice most are not confirmed buyers nor do they have other reviews. Many, many of the same words and very similar phrasing. I'd say 75% of the reviews are fake which really annoys me when they try to game the system. Happens more and more and something needs to be done about it.

On to the bike. Got it in orange and it is a quality bike. Very light, small and adjustable. I actually prefer this one over the mini glider because it has air tires as opposed to foam. Big, big difference. They roll better and just look better. My 2yo had not problem straddling the bike with both feet on the ground. The orange is a great color. All of his friends are jealous because they say he is riding a 2 wheeler. Right now he just walks along with it. May be some time before he glides.

The movable footrest and hand brake are nice to have but he may never use them.

Overall, I think this bike is the best option in it's price range and would recommend over the mini glider and strider.

We ordered the orange bike. It is no longer shipping with air tires, which was the primary reason for our purchase. We will be returning this, as it was not clearly stated prior to our transaction that the bike is now made with EVA.

(EZ12-O) Ezee Glider Orange Air Tires (purchased directly from glidebikes.com)

The bike is around the quality I'd expect for ~$100. Solid, but a little clunky. I purchased this bike since it seemed to be one of the few bikes available for an average height 19month old. He is bike crazy so he doesn't seem to be anywhere close to giving up on it, but he has been frustrated with the bike due its significant weight. I removed the brake and peg bar to lighten the load some, but I wish I had been more aware of the weight. He is not using the seat on it's lowest setting, although he can easily reach the handle bars they seem too far away for his comfort.

I'm sure he'll figure it out, but it's a bit heart breaking to see him struggle with this one when he so easily uses our friends' lighter weight balance bikes. The air tires contribute a lot to the weight and I'm still optimistic that in a few months he'll have developed the strength and balance to make the air tires an advantage instead of a hindrance. Fortunately, the tires inflated fine and there was no problem as experienced by others reviewing this bike that had long slits in the innertube. The bike was easy to put together but clunky in it's quality. Handle bars go up and down but don't adjust closer to seat. Seat goes up and down but can't be moved closer to handlebars. Rear wheel has some sort of built in friction generator even with brake removed that prevents it from spinning freely. I'm sure this is a design feature to slow down gliding speeds but at the moment it just seems to require greater force to push along.

Overall, I think the bike is worth $100, I awarded it 3 stars based on the fact that it seems to be designed for younger/smaller children yet it's weight is a huge hindrance to anyone that size. As he ages I'm sure it'll work out fine, there seems to be plenty of extendability so I don't think we'll have any problem adjusting the seat and handlebar heights as he grows.

We've had this bike a year now. We got it for our son several months after he turned two. After about 4-5 months he was balancing without using his feet. We've had tons of people comment on what a neat bike this is, but I have not seen any other balance bikes around. I recommend it to everybody. He can also ride it off-road, thru the yard etc, propelling it with his feet, because of the big tires. He likes to chase our dog around.

It's nice because he can ride a bike like big sis. Tricycles don't even come close.

The one negative I've found is that the had brake is way too hard for a toddler to use, but he just drags his feet when he wants to stop, so it's really not necessary anyway. Just have to make sure they don't wear nice new shoes when riding the bike, unless you want the toes worn out.

This bike has been a great find for us.

I purchased this Ezze Glider Balance Bike for my grandson this year and last year I purchased a Strider Balance Bike for my other grandson. I was much more impressed with this bike. Attractive, solid & sturdy and looked liked a real bike minus the pedals. Most toddlers won't use the hand brake, but looks cool. Now for my grandson's review:

Cam, (nick-named Bam-Bam) who is is strong, aggressive, w/ a leader type personality and thinks he is much older than he is was not impressed w/ the bold black Ezee Glider Bike. His first response, "Where are the pedals? Once on it he said, "It does not work, where are the pedals?" He then threw it on the ground and ran over to use his hand me down bikes w/ pedals and has refused to get on the Ezee Glider ever since.

Comparison Review: Stephen who got the Neon Green Strider Balance Bike is known to think things through before he act and is the type to sit back and watch before he does anything new. In contrast he was happy w/ his Strider Balance Bike and has used it just about everyday. He even rides on it in the basement.

My final thoughts: The Ezee Glider is more eye appealing and is above average quality at a higher cost. Whereas the Strider is a less expense, average quality and basic. Consider your budget when comparison shopping and the child's personality. Side note: My daughter's (the mother's) picked out the bikes I purchased for each child. I did not do any comparison shopping prior to each purchase.

Park Tool TB-2 Emergency Tire Boot (Pack of 3) Reviews

Customer Ratings:

Be aware that these patches are for inside your tires, not the outer surface of your tubes, in situations where you can actually see the tube through a hole in the tire. If you're looking for glueless / pre-glued patches for your tubes, I recommend Park Tool brand for that as well though several other brands also make good pre-glued patches.

These patches are a great solution even in the worst of cases where the tire has such a large gash in it that there would otherwise be no way to inflate the tire without the tube bubbling out of the cut and exploding. The patches themselves are tough enough to hold up to debris (even glass) getting in the cut, and there is effectively no expansion out of the tire--whereas the old solution of using a dollar bill isn't nearly as good or durable.

They are rather thick--at least as thick as a tire sidewall--yet using one doesn't leave a big bump the way many glue-on tube patches do.

SIZE: I thought I would buy these three patches and try them out and then buy more immediately if they did, but each of the three is so large that you can cut several patches out of them--as suggested on the packaging. In fact, one whole patch is actually too big for a road tire, and really wouldn't be necessary in a mountain bike tire--unless it was a big three incher and the cut was reeeeeeeally bad.

CON: The only source of disappointment with this product is that the glue is only about as adhesive as that of a Post-it Note, perhaps not even that strong. The glue doesn't even hold the patch in place while you're installing the tube. However, the solution is not to glue it in place; just slip it in between the tube and the tire when you have the tube partially inflated and installed, then put the tire back on the rim and inflate to normal pressure.

Note that I haven't tried this on a mountain bike tire with low pressure yet, but have never personally had a mountain bike tire (2 inches in width or greater) with a hole that big in it.

BOTTOM LINE: Some riders pay $50 or more per tire, and when one gets a gash in it, even if the tire is brand new, that usually means putting it in the trash right away and spending another $50 or more. That's exactly what happened to me, but I didn't throw away the first tire thank goodness before buying these patches.

My replacement tire also got rather cut up over time to the point that I actually had to patch the tire itself in a couple of places. But with these patches I was able to reinstall the first tire which was otherwise completely new. And though I can actually see the patch through the gash in the road tire, it doesn't bubble out and I'm completely confident I could ride it like that for the remaining life of the tire.

I now carry one of these patches with me on every ride--just in case.

Yesterday, I was 60 miles away from home (and 15 miles to public transit) in a rural area and got a blow out. Got 3 gashes in my tire. One was so severe, the tube was bubbling out. Got the patches out and completed the ride (20 more miles) These patches really work, and you don't know its worth until you are stuck out there in the middle of no where. My riding buddies were impressed. The dollar bill or powerbar wrapper might have worked also, but these things don't have adhesive so a tear could continue to propagate and cause a disastrous blow-out. These are highly recommended.

Honest reviews on Park Tool TB-2 Emergency Tire Boot (Pack of 3)

I have been in the situation of being in the middle of a ride and having the sidewall of a tire fail. People have used a dollar bill, a piece of paper, or some other item to attempt to "limp" home. This item is made for just such an emergency. I hope I never have to use it, but I ride just little easier knowing I have it.

Many people think this is a 'patch', and it is, but it's for your tire, not your tube! You may not need to use one of these on most typical fl@ts, but when you do need one of these, if you don't have one with you, you're not going anywhere (unless you want to try the paper money trick).

They are easy to use, and I found them to make a great item to carry in my kit as a just-in-case item. Comes in a nice foil-type package, so it'll stay in your kit for a long time without going bad.

Will buy these again as I need them.

Bought this for a trip to Colorado. I knew it rained every afternoon in the mountains and had been caught before. I like the way it can be opened and closed while driving. This was useful when traveling in carvans and the temps would change with the elevation and clouds. In the past it would start to rain and by the time I got my poncho on I was already wet plus the rain hitting me in the face would run down my neck. No more with the windshield in place. It seems to be very hard and scratch resistant. Some people may be bothered by the lap in the upper and lower panels that are in the line of site but that hasn't been that big a deal for me. I also had a Cooter Brown top and a Tusk rear window.

Having the ability to go half, three quarters and totally removed is worth the money. Depending on conditions and time of year you will want this ability! Well made and very durable. holds up to scratches very well. Takes a couple hours to install, but well made.

i love the scooter so far and it is really strong and light for such a good scooter.if u are 5 feet or less i would cut the bars from 21 high to 18 or 19.not very dialed out of the box so just tighten the headset a little bit.it is reaaly good and would say a begginner rider up to advanced would want this.its pretty cool cuz there is threaded forks but un threaded bars and a triple clamp so there is no compression system but holds up really good.

Honest reviews on Razor Pro XXX Scooter

At the time of our order, the picture of Silver scooter showed a t-style handle bar and black grip tape. The scooter we received had a Y handle bar and gaudy blue and black "XXX" grip tape, giving a pro scooter a "kidy" look. The black and white colored scooter is representative of what we received with the exception of being painted vs aluminum. I am sure the scooter is great, seems built well, but it is not as described, my son can't live with the ugly grip tape.

But decided to keep it anyway even though he was disappointed in color. Not sure why we need to write so many words on this.
