I have not (fortunately ... LOL) had to use my tires levers yet, but I did use some (exact same ones) at the LBS that helped me install my tire liners, and they worked great. Nice little tool.

Plastic is very sturdy and wears well. Slides around rim well and has a good contour. Not perfect but close. I would buy them again as they are also priced well.

These levers are perfect to help you change a flat tire/tube. They are very portable (fit a saddle bag) and pretty stiff. Have been using mine for almost 3 years without any issues.

I bought this tire for my son's bike and it fits perfectly, because the description was precise. This tire size was not easy to find so I am glad i found it here at Amazon.

The sunlite/kenda tires are great for little boys to ride their bikes (and girls) on. The price is fair (about $10 each). These have a wired bead running thru the tire's edges so please use a couple of tire levers to seed (or pop) your tires on properly. The wire beads do add weight to the tires which is fine, but it would be nice if the 14" and 16" tires were lighter weight tires…..these are little legs that are trying to get the bike rolling. I ordered a few of these tires because each tire is going to last about one riding season (late March to late November) before losing that knobby tread. The smoother "city street" tread is fine for the 12" bicycles since most likely, your son or daughter on the 12" bike is still using their training wheels and doing a lot of their riding on the sidewalks and pavement. I chose the knobby tread (comp III tread for you BMX riders) for the 14" and 16" bikes because once the training wheels are removed, my boys are going to start exploring dirt, grass and anywhere their legs can pedal them on. Also the other reason I ordered a few spares is that eventually your kids are going to discover hitting the brakes and skidding. Just like you did when you were a kid, this is going to wear out your tires much faster.

If you're concerned about flats for your youngster once they start riding their bikes everywhere:

I also ordered the kenda/pyramid/sunlite thorn resistance tubes. I've been using the Bontrager TR 700c tubes in my Trek racing bike forever. I love them. Basically, the tubes are twice as thick on the side of the tube that faces the inside of the tire which adds a little more protection against flats…..not flat free, but certainly does add a little more protection. I don't recommend any of the tubes that have "slime" in them…..too messy…..too heavy. When I got into BMX racing around age 9, I also used the Mr. Tuffy tire liners on my Skyway Aero bike…..highly recommend the Mr. Tuffy tire liners too because they work great, but unfortunately, Mr. Tuffy tire liners don't come stock in smaller size than 20". You can still use them, but you'll have to cut the 20" Mr. Tuffy tire liners, but make sure to cut them so that there is about a 2" overlap. For your kids that seem to be getting a lot of flats, (a) get a good idea of the terrain they're riding on, (b) start with the thorn resistance tubes and then (c) add the Mr. Tuffy Liners……also try using some rim tape too. Rim tape is a sticky, heavy cotton tape that you wrap against the rim. There is a hole in the cotton tape to put over the corresponding hole where the tube stem pushes thru. The rim tape helps protect against flats that are caused by the spokes and the holes in the rim that the spokes are inserted thru.

Both the kenda tires I bought have split open right down the middle with less than 1000 miles on them. Sorry Kenda, but these tires are no good. My dad had the same problem with some red kountaches he bought at a local bike shop. What a disappointment. Sticking with Continentals from now on, I get so many more miles on them that I'll end up saving money.

I bought these hoping for really good flat protection. The flat protection is okay, but wasn't cutting it (no pun intended?) since there are so many cinders left from the winter. I upgraded to beefier continental 4 seasons tires so I could race flat free. I immediately noticed how much better the grip was on the 4seasons tire. I am a relatively heavier for a cyclist (175 lbs) so it might not be as bad for lighter riders.

If you are racing I would suggest continental gp4000s for summer/fall and 4seasons for winter/spring (heavier, but great flat protection against cinders).

2 stars, they felt okay before they fell apart. 4000s and 4seasons are more expensive but both ride better and last a lot longer

Buy Shimano Nexus SL-3S35 3-speed Revo Shifter / includes Bell Crank .

Customer Ratings:

I bought this product to replace the shifter on an Electra cruiser. While I am very satisfied with the product and the price I paid, unfortunately the cable included was too short for me. Cable in bulk is so cheap, I would have thought they could include an extra foot or so since this cable is easily cut down. There is no length posted on the product listing, which could be helpful too.

Great product made by a great company. If your are investing in internal hub shifting technology you have made a wise decision. Shimano Nexus makes great hubs and shifters, durable, reliable and responsive. Internal hubs are the technology of the future. There will soon be no need for de-railers what so ever. I kid you not, mine has lasted over 6,000 miles of riding (and yes that number is six-thousand). This is a great investment! Enjoy!

The part was a perfect fit. I was worried that it would be the wrong part or an aftermarket knock off. The screw on the shifter that came with the bike broke off so I ordered this repacement. Be careful when changing tires to not overtighten the machine screw that holds the shifter to the rear wheel it will snap off. Suoer fast shipping from the seller.

Discount Outback Magnetic Indoor Bicycle Trainer

Customer Ratings:

I have had this trainer for just under 2 months and am fairly happy with my purchase. I knew going in, that I wasn't going to get a Cadillac (or BMW) for a hundred bucks, but it does a good job of helping me keep in shape during the cold winter months. To give you some kind of idea as to my normal work out level, I generally ride out doors about 2,000 miles per year. With my retired 20+ year old Fuji Palisade mounted in this trainer at high resistance, and top gear on the bike, I can get a full cardio workout.

I used the free shipping option, and received the package a few days earlier than originally expected. Assembly was completed in a 10-15 min time frame, using the instructions included in the box. I didn't need to use the included skewer replacement, as the stock quick release axle on my Fuji fit fine. The paint finish looks great, and the only thing I might have added would be a quick release between the bike tire and the resistance unit so I don't have to re-adjust the tension each time I ride. NOTE: You do not want to leave the tire locked in when you are not riding in order to prevent the tire from denting. Noise is not an issue for me. Sure it make some noise, but it is not so loud that I can't listen to my MP3 player, and the more I ride, the less I notice it.

One final note, if you are going to buy this or any other trainer you really should consider a stabilizer for the front wheel.

For the price this wasn't bad.

I experienced a few minor frustrations. The assembly pictures weren't really clear, but putting it together was fairly self explanatory so I could live despite that.

The only real issue came when I went to mount my bike. I have a Mongoose Mountain bike, and this is most definitely set up for a street bike.

if you don't have a quick release latch on your rear tire you may need to purchase one. the one that is supplied is extremely small if you have a mountain bike (Mine requires almost a 1/4 inch shaft the one supplied is considerably less than that)

However I was able to improvise by tightening the bracket on to my lugs and it works fine.

Is rather loud, but I attribute that to my knobby tired more-so than the unit itself, which when I tested it was very quiet

All said and told a good purchase, just wish they had supplied more information (such as the latch) before purchasing so i could have been better prepared.

This product was purchased as a gift for my wife. We have had it for one month and she has been using it since Christmas. I found the assembly to be easy and the instructions easy to follow. Before purchasing I was almost scared off by other reviews that had talked about excessive noise. While it is far from quiet the noise is no more of a distraction than a running refrigerator. My wife listens to the radio while using the trainer with no problems. She uses the trainer in our garage on a cement floor.

i love this thing. and i paid more for it in a bike store so this is a deal. snap to set-up. takes 15 minutes maybe. there is a gentle hum but not loud. i have chronic fatigue so this is perfect. I was looking for a very easy low impact workout and this is it. I used to be an avid bike rider but not suffer from CFS and i'm hoping this thing will bring me back. so if you need and real easy work-out and have cfs this is as good as it gets. I love it. and this price is a super deal.

After looking for a trainer for about a week I reluctantly purchased this one. I say reluctantly because everyone and everything told me to go for the cycle ops brand by saris. Friends had them and liked them, all the bike shops in my town exclusively sell them, and they just look better. I however did not want to drop the money for one. So I went with this one, and was very pleasantly surprised when it arrived and found out that it is made by saris!

First thing I liked about it; ease of setup. It has no parts to assemble, you just unfold it, attach the resistance unit using a bolt, screw in the adjustment knob and it's ready to go. It took about 5 minutes and most of that was cleaning a space to assemble it in.

Second; resistance. If you have a triple gear bike you will have no problems resistance. This trainer easily gives me a work out, and I have been riding trails at least four times a week for a year now.

Third; transportation. This mostly stays in my office with a bike on it, but occasionally I take it outside. This unit easily folds up and is not too heavy.

Now the other details, and these all involve the tire not the trainer.

Noise. If you have a mt. bike tire on it, it is going to be loud.

Ride quality. Again a mt. bike tire is going to slip easily due to the knobs which will not give you a smooth ride. It will also cause it to heat up the tire and give an awful burnt rubber smell.

These are two things I see talked about negatively towards all the trainers I looked into, and they are so easy to fix. Get a slick tire.

The noise is drastically reduced and the ride is much smoother. You also don't get that awful smell that many complain about.

This is a great product and I'm very happy I bought it.

Let's be honest, these are ball bearings. They are ball bearings for a bicycle. I'm not building a particle collider here, I'm repacking a bicycle hub. This was much cheaper than driving the 60 miles to town with a decent bike shop and buying the right number of bearings from them directly.

what can you say? they were well made. used them in a new bicycle wheel.

i learned later that a local bike shop sells the same tub of 25 bearings for 1/2 the price.

amazon "prime" does not necessarily mean "free" shipping!!

but it's okay. they arrived quickly and i got my bike on the road.

I am really sad to give these socks such a poor rating. They're VERY cuteamazing color and so much fun to wear during a dreary winter. Unfortunately, after the first few times wearing them, the elastic became permanently stretched, and now I can't even get it to last more than a few steps before my shoes starts to eat them.

I've worn smartwool socks for years, and I'm a convert to wool socks. I saw these at REI and loved the colors (I have a weakness for whimsical socks) and gave them a try. They're cute and comfortable. So much fun to wear! I went back and bought anther in a different color!

Things I like:

--well made. They hold up in the wash, and I haven't noticed any shrinkage. The colors have stayed bright.

-they stay up. I hate socks that slide down!

a couple of caveats:

--the socks aren't as soft as my smartwool socks. I think that might be due to having a higher wool percentage? I don't find them scratchy but FYI.

--There's no padding or cushion at all. I've since bought a couple pairs of Darn Tough socks that have that, but these are without the cushion. I like them anyway, but your milage may vary.

--Darn Tough socks don't seem to be as stretchy as some socks; be sure you get the right size. I can get away with Smartwool mediums but needed the larges in Darn Tough!

I discovered "Darn Tough" socks at my local REI store and bought one pair to try out. Three years later the same pair of socks are still kicking. My feet stay dry during the day. I have since added about seven additional pairs, (multiple colors). Try them, you won't regret it.

Review of Saris Unique Mount Triple Track Fork Mount Bike Racks for Truck

Customer Ratings:

I often carry my bikes in a pickup truck, and I did not want to bolt some fork mounts to the bed rails because I take my topper on and off often.

I purchased this bike mount thinking it would be stable in the back of a truck. I found that I have to put the heaviest bike in the middle so it doesn't tip over when I go around corners. Since the base is so light, your bikes will want to tip over unless you bolt the mount to the vehicle (I use it in multiple vehicles, so this is not an option).

I realized after using this mount several times that I could have bolted the fork mounts onto some plywood and ended up with similar results for a fraction of the price.

Make sure you purchase the mounts, as this item just includes the track. When you purchase the mounts, they do not come with the bolts to attach them to the track, and the track only comes with 3 sets of bolts. You will need to make a trip to the hardware store.

Overall, this product works, but is not worth the money.

I bought this for my Hyundai Elantra GT. With the seats down, and the Triple Track in the front of the cargo area, it'll hold two road bikes with just enough space to close the hatchback (hint: you have to take off the saddles to make this work).

Things I liked about the TT:

The rubber strips on the bottom do a good job of holding the TT in place on the carpeted floor of the Elantra.

The tracks allow you to pretty easily adjust the fork and wheel mounts on the fly so you can put the bikes closer together or farther apart. This allowed me to load more cargo next to the bikes for a long trip, but to space the bikes further apart for easier bike loading when I didn't need the space for other cargo.

The bikes are rock-solid stable in the back. I went on a trip with one bike in the back before I got the TT and it rattled around the whole time in a cringe-worthy manner. With the TT nothing rattles and nothing moves. I'm very fond of my bikes and I felt like I was treating them right with the TT.

Tip: Tighten everything well before you leave the driveway. That includes the mounts to the TT and the wheels and forks to the mounts. Your load will quickly become unstable if you don't do this right.

This is a very solid piece of equipment and exactly what I was looking for. I highly recommend it if you have a similar need.
