Cheap Park Tool Portable Wheel Dishing Gauge

Customer Ratings:

Overall great product. It is simple to put together and VERY sturdy once it is assembled. High quality stuff. Works just as it should.

Only one complaint: It is "portable" in the sense that it can be disassembled into smaller pieces, but you do need a wrench and probably a bag to hold the parts. Don't expect it to fold up in 2 seconds so you can throw it in your toolbox and be on your way.

This isn't as good as the version that has the two plastic adjustable ends. I like using these in combination with my one sided truing stand, which can be just as accurate or more because those park tools truing stands actually go out of true! For this tool to work you have to take the tire off. You can also just make a tool yourself with something aa simple as cardboard and a metal ruler.

If you need a rack for your bike, this appears to be a decent rack. However, I honestly have to say that it's not quite as nice as my old Bontrager "Back Rack 2" that this one is replacing. Let's start with the good:

STURDY. My old rack only had two vertical supports, this one has three. Feels much more substantial. That's bad if you're a weight weenie, but good if you want to carry stuff and feel secure that it's not going anywhere.

MTX track system is awesome. This is the whole reason that I got this rack, so that I could use a Topeak trunk bag. This is also one of those good/bad things however, as the Topeak trunk bag forces you to use the Topeak rack there are no attachments on the Topeak trunk bag at all other than the MTX rail (if they still included velcro tie-downs, you could strap it to *any* rack, which would be nice if you had more than one bike, wanted to loan it to a friend, etc.) I haven't actually used it yet (so I'm holding off on reviewing the bag) but it was highly recommended by someone who uses it every day and I was so impressed with his that I had to get my own both because it looked sturdy and useful and also because you can literally remove it in seconds and just carry it with you, rather than leave your tools, spare tube, pump, etc. out on your bike when you lock it up somewhere. Trek/Bontrager has their own similar system, and I was tempted to go that route and keep my old rack, but reviews of the security of the attachment were not as good as of the Topeak, and just the bag alone cost as much as buying the Topeak bag and rack together. Also I was unable to find a store that sold the Trek bags, while several stores near me sell Topeak.

a nice byproduct of the MTX dovetail mount is that it covers your rear tire somewhat, so if you don't have fenders, it'll still catch some of the road debris that would otherwise be flung onto your back even without a trunk bag.

But then there's the bad:

no height adjustment, which my old Bontrager rack had. This would be nice to be able to "tune out" slight heel strike if you happen to have panniers that are a little too long/far forward for your particular bike/rack/pannier setup. If you have a touring frame this is probably not going to be an issue for you, but if you have a road bike that you just want to put a rack on, it may be a problem.

screws and washers provided appear to be plated steel, not stainless. They're stamped "9.8" which means that they're high strength this is good, but I hope the plating is good too. Rust = bad.

Only comes with one pair of straps to mount to your seat stay braze ons. And they're LONG. I'm either going to have to whack these down or just make my own out of some thick stainless sheet. I don't really need that long bit of steel hanging out over my rear tire not doing anything useful.

Lower mounting points are really chunky good for strength, but they interfere with the heads of the screws that mount the derailleur hanger to the dropout, so I am going to have to get some more 5mm washers to space them out slightly so that they can be fully tightened down. Obviously I have not yet mounted the rack on my bike, only test fit it to see what I'm going to have to buy/make to make it work. If you don't have a bolt-on derailleur hanger this won't be of concern to you.

because of the lack of height adjustment, I'm going to have to put a really interesting bend in the straps to clear the straddle wire for my rear cantilevers (or again, just make my own) If it were height adjustable, I could just raise it another half inch, but...

taillight mount for a standard two bolt taillight is nice, which my old rack didn't have it just used a single bolt for a reflector. However, you can get an adapter from Peter White for less than four bucks to convert the single bolt reflector mount to a taillight mount, and the Bontrager rack has tubing that overhangs the taillight to keep it from getting beat up. The Topeak rack on the other hand hangs the taillight mount way out in back with no protection, and in fact when the rack arrived the taillight mount was already slightly bent. It bent back OK and the powdercoat held so no real worries, but I'll have to be more careful not to knock it into things.

So in short if you want to use the MTX system, you need to get this rack (or other Topeak rack.) However, if you aren't mechanically inclined, you may want to just buy it from your local bike store instead and have them deal with fiddling with it.

If you aren't buying MTX bags and don't think you will in the future, and just want a light duty rack, I'd actually recommend the Bontrager Back Rack 2 instead. That's the only rack I've seen with adjustable height and it can really solve some problems. I'm hoping that I'll like the MTX feature enough that I won't regret not keeping my old rack and buying a universal trunk bag instead.

It seems to me a very good choice, Hard, good paint.

You can atach the painners at the sides of the rack, and in the top, the sleeping bag, a mattress or something else

It also hace a special atach point for your RED BACK LIGHT

A very very helpfull accesory for your bike when you travel

PAY ATENTION if you need it For DISC BRAKES BIKE or NOT, there is a diference in the way you atach it to the bike and also in the PRICE There are two models, almost exactly the same

Be carefull!!!

I bought this rack to put on my wife's beach cruiser with the Topeak rear basket. It is adaptable to all bicycles as advertised, but is designed to fit bicycles with threaded seat-stay bosses. If you're bicycle does not have threaded rack mounts, installation will require some type of adaptor. My wife's bike is an Electra and Electra sells a seat clamp with rack mounts which installs easily; other companies might sell a similar item. Installation was easy. Rack is very sturdy. The rear basket goes on easily with the MTX track system.Topeak MTX Rear Bicycle Basket

Honest reviews on Topeak Explorer Bike Rack

I love this rack. Sturdy as all heck once installed properly. Unfortunately I didn't realize the rack was made for bikes with seat stays which my Trek didn't have. After a couple of trips to the local outdoor store, I finally stopped by a proper bike shop and picked up a Blackburn Monostay Rack Adapter. It took me nearly an hour to get everything properly installed but once installed the rack didn't move. I use this rack with a Topeak DX bag (with panniers). The bag has QuickTrack and is super-sturdy on this rack. Highly recommended.

A great value! Detailed directions. No extra parts don't drop any of those tiny washers. I was lucky my bicycle has threaded attachment points. If yours does not, be prepared to make a trip or 2 to the hardware store.

Also, the rack does not come with an Allen Wrench. Hopefully you have a set of Allen Wrenches on hand.

They work great. I used them for a handlebar conversion on an sv1000s. These bars work exactly as advertised and were the cheapest I found when I was in the market for them. I would recomend them. The only negative, and it's not really a negative, is that they are a lil bit lower than I was looking for because I do a lot of slabbing with my Harley friends... But at this hight it is a good compermise for the twisties too. So in conclusion they weren't exactly what I was looking for for my SV but they ended up being great anyway.

Like the title says, looks good all black. Chrome would have looked fine too, but just felt like black this time. Plus I figure these will have less tendency to show pits like the chrome ones eventually do if out in the elements.

The Emgo Superbike Bend Handlebars were just what I was looking for. The rise was just high enough and the pullback was just the right length to still allow these bars to have an aggressive feel and good control over my Suzuki SV1000. They also provided great relief to my wrists during long rides. If you have a naked sport bike these bars are for you!

I ordered a couple of these for use on a college campus in the housekeeping and maintenance. I was wishing they were three or five speed to make it easier to go up the hills. After I assembled the first one I immediately to it up the longest grade we have with no problems. I'm actually glad they're single speed now because they'll have less issues later. Our hills are not real steep though for serious grades you'll want more gears.

You asked if I was satisfied with this Schwinn Tricycle. To me it is a worthless peace of junk.

Its out of balance and hard to pedal. I cant ride it at all it keeps stearing funy. I had my step daughter try and ride it and she had the same problems. Now I am stuck with a 297$ bike that I will have throw in the dump. Do you have anyway I can redem my money. YOur respectfuly

This works great for him since he can't ride a two-wheeler. It looks very cool and he feels proud when he rides it. It took several hours for my husband to assemble it. My son pedals very slowly, so I let him pedal along while I walk the neighborhood. The basket is substantial and we sometimes pack a picnic lunch in there, add a kickball, blanket, and go to the neighborhood shaded playground and sit under a big oak after playing and eat. Very good purchase.

This Razor A3 scooter is a great step up from the inexpensive, less robust scooters you'll find in many stores. Very strong: my 11-year-old weighs about 100 pounds and it has easily absorbed use and abuse from him and his friends for months.

The large wheels are a great feature, as is a neat adjustment which you can use to keep the handle secure to the base without rattling. The hand grips are very comfortable, and are also the part most likely to wear first, but they are easy to replace if you ever need to.

I bought this for my year old son to replace his old razor scooter. My son isn't the most coordinated of children and wasn't able to glide much on his old scooter. This one looks very close to the old scooter but it is much easier for him to glide and keep his balance. The wheels are bigger and there are some other minor adjustments that help and it doesn't look like a toddler razor at all. Hope this helps

Bought it for daughter's Christmas gift. She loves it. Cool color. Adjustable height is useful for her short height. She is very proud with it. Bigger wheels gives a bit more stability.

Honest reviews on Razor A3 Kick Scooter

Pros:

1) More comfortable than the A1 due to larger wheels

2) Faster than the A1, also due to larger wheels

3) Takes bumps + cracks MUCH better than the A1. I feel like the 125mm wheels are the bare minimum for real world use and comfort requirement

Cons:

1) Heavier than the A1. Not by a lot and not enough to be unwieldy, but enough to just be noticeable when collapsed and being carried around.

2) Larger than the A1 when collapsed. The stepboard is larger and can't be "compacted" further, so no surprises here. It's just large enough to wish it was smaller, but not annoyingly large.

3) "Only" more comfortable than the A1 by.....if I had to put a number on it, maybe 30%? Significant, and the A1 ride was just annoying to me, so this works.

Overall, I'm happy with the build and glad I didn't go for the cruiser, which would be beyond what I would consider to be comfortable and portable to carry around as a commuter.

I purchased this scooter for my 6-year old's birthday. It has been a huge hit. She previously had a 3-wheeled scooter also by Razor that just didn't move fast enough. The only problem is that all the neighbor kids and her 3 year-old sister want to ride it so much that she doesn't get to ride it as much as she wants. It is solidly built and has a very smooth ride.

After much research and discussion we settled on the Stamina 7100 because it wasn't too heavy for us senior citizens to handle. We weren't sure it would be a quality product, but ordered it anyway. It arrived in less than a week. We took the parts out of the box for ease in carrying it down to our rec room at 100 pounds it had been a heavy load. My husband assembled it in two hours an arduous job, but compared to others I heard about, not extreme. After assembly it turned out to be solid, smooth riding, comfortable with the back support and wide seat, and a really positive surprise. The computer programs were easy to set and perfectly adequate. I don't know how much more a person would need in a home exercise bike. I recommend it highly. J. Rowley

Put the thing together in about 2 hours, but I took my time. A motivated person could do it in 30 minutes quite easily. It's a solid bike. Quiet, comfortable, sturdy (very important), has heartrate sensors built into the lower handlebars. I bought this for my pregnant wife, but I find myself using it quite often and I'm a bit of a gym rat.

Got the bike, it arrived in a heavily damaged box, but the bike and parts itself were not damaged.

Took about 2 hours to assemble, which was easy

had a clicking noise when i changed gears, called the company and they send a new motor.

installed that and it only shifted between 2 gears, thought it was the worst purchase ever

company informed me to contact amazon for replacement, without any hassle they send a new bike, i mailed back the crappy one.

new bike arrived in same but undamaged packaging, put it together, this time only took me 1 hour (got used to the process i guess)and it works great!

the bike makes no noise, I bike it when i watch tv, and as a soccer player thought I had some leg muscle, but with the different programs on it, you can be a starter, or a pro because it is a good workout either way.

Honest reviews on Stamina 7100 Fusion Magnetic Exercise Bike

It's March 2013 and it's still working since receiving the replacement piece, so I am upgrading my rating. If you don't have problems with the components, it works fine. I you do, come back to this original review:

I have questions about quality of the bike and customer service. Within a few months of riding 3-5 times a week, the motor that changes the tension broke. The bike was stuck on one of the highest settings, so I couldn't use it. I called the company. They talked me through different tests and finally had to agree it was broken. The phone agent tried to say "well-that's-too-bad. I don't know what else to tell you to do". I had to insist it was in warranty and that they should talk to a supervisor. They eventually agreed to send me the front lower quarter of the bike, the part with the pedal case. I think if a customer isn't persistent with this company when their exercise bike breaks, they would be out a couple hundred bucks and not have a working exercise bike. It's been working since then, but I won't be surprised if this problem happens again. Now that the bike is working, I like it.

Ordered through Amazon.com. Received the box on 4/27. Upon opening found the entire seat assembly (back and seat) missing from the box as well as one of the wiring insulator plugs. Called Stamina and placed order for warranty replacement on 4/28. So far almost a week later have not seen any parts so the bike is totally useless! Finally on 5/3 received email stating that parts were "processed" but still have no tracking number or any way to know when, how, or if they were shipped. Frankly, folks, this is no way to run a business. I would not recommend doing business with Stamina! If it wasn't such a hassle to repack I would send the whole thing back to Amazon.
