I bought one of these about 6 months ago and I must say it is a blast to own! The build quality is very impressive, especially for the price! The 3 speed hub shifter is easy to use and provides sufficient gear ratios for most riding. I was riding with my wife and noticed that the actual speed you have to pedal is about the same as her 20" Schwinn folding bike, in spite of the tiny tires. Of course, this bike is clearly made for city streets, not off-road of any sort. The brakes also work very well, actually better than my wife's Schwinn. The rear roller brake is kind of a rare feature and I really like it. We took both of our bikes on a trip to Florida, in a Geo Metro of all things, so this bike clearly makes packing very easy! We rode about 35 miles over the week we were there, and it preformed flawlessly the whole time. I was surprised that the factory seat is actually very comfortable. I did buy some gel padded bike pants for long distance riding, which makes it even better. With the gel padded pants I rode about 12 miles in one trip, which is the longest I have ever ridden a bike. Even that distance was quite comfortable. By the way, expect to have lots of people stop and watch as you ride!:) Several people even were taking pictures when we stopped at a park, so you will likely have lots of questions if you get one. I am very pleased with this bike and would definitely buy another. If I had anything to complain about at all I would say that the manual is kind of generic and not very useful, but who needs a manual anyway. I think we all no how to ride a bike! By the way, if you are worried about it being big enough for you, I am about 5' 10" and I have to adjust the seat down for me to be able to ride. Even my wife, who is 6' 1" can't get on it with the seat at the highest position! But it would also fit someone much shorter than myself, so even teenagers and possibly younger should have no trouble adjusting it to fit them. So if you are looking for something to take on trips or run around town, this is the ticket.

I am 53 years old and got back into bike riding to lose weight. My knees can't stand the pounding of running. After riding my old haro bike for several weeks and getting pretty good at riding I noticed the sidewalk I was riding on had to much foot traffic to keep speeding up my workout. Also riding after work meant I had to drive my truck to haul my bike. I decided to buy a folding bike that would ride in back of my focus. The 3 speed city bike lets me ride in foot traffic and speed up when traffic alows. I am 270lbs rode over 25mi. on this bike and have not noticed A drop off in performance.If your looking for a folding bike to ride with foot traffic this is a great urban purchase.

Nirve Fifty-Three Men's Cruiser Bike (26-Inch Wheels) Review

Customer Ratings:

HIGHLY recommend this bike. Easy to put together out of the box. Built sturdy and to last. My husband is a big guy and loves this bike. Wonderful reproduction of a fifties bike. The auto shifting shifts very smoothly. Worth the extra money. Will probably last for years and years.

Pros: Nice looking bike. Easy to assemble. Customer support was friendly and fairly helpful. Replaced the fenders quickly, but I am still waiting on a replacement tire (I ended up having to replace it myself).

Cons: Bike arrived damaged, the front fender was bent, both tires arrived flat, and after sitting on the rim, while shipping, the rear tire was torn. All in all, I had to "true" the front tire, replace the spoke tape on both rims, buy a new tire, two tire tubes and a few small nuts and bolts that were needed to finish assembly. The Nexus 3-Speed Hub is barely adequate, it has trouble shifting under high loads. It would probably be just fine for a smaller rider, but can be annoying for a bigger rider like me (The size of the bike is suitable for a larger rider, I'm 6'3" and the frame fits me just fine.)

I bought this bike at the same time as purchasing a Republic Bike for my girlfriend. The Republic Bike was well packaged. Everything was thoroughly secured to prevent the contents from shifting and well wrapped to protect against scratching while it was shipped. Comparing the two experiences the Republic Bike was much easier to assemble and everything arrived as expected.

I will finish by saying that Amazon offered to replace the bike completely. I however declined because it would have been a two to three week turn-around to get my replacement bike. Besides being difficult to repackage and ship back, I thought it would be easier and much faster to repair most of the bike and get it ridable myself. The cost of replacement parts to repair my bike was less than $40.

This is great high quality bike. No damage out of the box but it did take longer than expected to assemble, it is not 85 percent assembled. I have about 10 miles on my bike and getting use to the 3 speeds takes some time.

Kick ass bike, the only issue is with the front break at assembly, not and easy adjustment, but the bike and quality are great

I purchased this item for my 2 year old's birthday. Unfortunately he is not quite big enough to reach the pedals, but his older brother (almost 4) loves it. He is zipping around the driveway and we even put out pieces of plywood for 'jumps'. He has used it all summer with zero problems.

I read the complaints about the durability and was concerned about purchasing the big wheel, but there is not alternative product out there in the same price range. I decided to go for it and I'm glad I did. Make no mistake assembly is a pain. Everything went smooth except getting the pedals on. I ended up taking it into my shop and bracing it on my work bench while I tapped the pedal into position with a hammer. I was worried about breaking the plastic with the hammer, but using extra caution I was able to get the pedal COMPLETELY into place. I suspect that anyone who had problems with the pedals falling off only got the pedal on partway. It took 10-15 minutes to get these pedals on and I couldn't pull them off if I tried.

If you're looking at the big wheel for your little one, I say go for it. Instructions should say 'patience required', but take a deep breath, do it right the first time, and then sit back and enjoy watching your kids have a blast zipping up and down the driveway.

The is a classic toy. I remember mine as a kid, and recently bought one for my two year old daughter. While assembling it Christmas Eve, I was extremely disappointed with the quality of the parts that are included to put the bike together. Two flimsy "cap nuts" are supposed to be hammered onto the end of the rear axle to hold the tires on. These simply keep falling off, along with the wheels. Real fun. Also, the pedals are supposed to be hammered on and held in place with "lock washers". One of the washers snapped and so the pedal fall offs too. The manufacturer could easily throw a couple extra of these fragile parts in the box--especially when the design is so poor.

I also was a owner of the original big wheel and bought two of these for my grandchildren. They are of poor quality--nothing like the original and they do not hold up for little rough boys. I had two sons and they did everything possible to the original and it just kept rolling---NOT so with this one

Honest reviews on Big Wheels 16 inch The Original

We bought a similar big wheel (same manufacturer) for my 3 year old and he had an issue with the pedal length. We solved by just sliding the seat forward and drilling our own hole and have had no problems since.

Our biggest complaint is the durability of the front wheel. The pedal axle has a rectangular block that engages the "big wheel" and that keeps popping out. This is very frustrating because I recall wearing holes in the plastic tires as a kid.

We have had about 3 months of fairly good use which is not really what I expected. I would not suggest a this toy. We, as consumers, need to be less concerned with how inexpensive something is and more concerned with quality.

The quality of this toy does not make the grade.

My son got this for his 3rd birthday. He received it as a gift already assembled. The pedal fell off within 15 minutes. We tried using a hammer to pound it back on, but no matter what we did it wouldn't stay on. Called customer service and left a message on their machine. Just when we were thinking they were never going to return our call, a package arrived with 2 new pedals. We haven't even put the new pedals on yet, because at 39" tall, my son still can't reach the pedals enough to really ride it. Instead of saying age 3 and up, I wish they would list a recommended height in the info section.

Best Park Tool Centering Gauge for TS-2 and TS-3 Truing Stand Deals

The Centering Gauge is essential for calibrating/adjusting the Park Tool Professional Truing Stand. The stand requires adjustment of the upright arms and the forward feeler fingers. In theory, you can substitute a perfect wheel to adjust your stand. But I have tried both and there is no hesitation in saying the Centering Gauge is superior. With this centering gauge, the accuracy of your Truing Stand can be so good that it would not be necessary to purchase a separate Dish Gauge to check your wheel alignment. I purchased the Park Tool Dish Gauge with the Truing Stand. After going back and forth with the two, I figured out it would be much easier if my Truing Stand were accurate in the first place. Hence, the Centering Gauge was purchased later. Lesson learned.

This Park Tool Centering Gauge has helped me very much in setting up the TS 2.2 truing stand. The tool is great to have before every truing job.

This gauge is required when purchasing a new Turing stand. Park tools claims to have the Turing stand calibrated at the factory. My stand was out of calibration. I think this tool is a requirement for the perfectionist.

I've used the centering gauge once to check the centering of my truing stand. All was cool. I would recconmend the tool if you have a park truing stand, so you know you are starting out true.

Frogg Toggs Toad Rage Rain Jacket Reviews

Customer Ratings:

This jacket actually fits how the description of most Frogg Toggs read. The part where it says you can wear it over clothes actually makes sense compared to the Tekk Toad and other coats. I'm really happy with the length and room in this jacket.

This is one of the few non tailored jackets I own that actually fits a lean 6' 4" frame, and It is made for a tall person. The sleeves are the correct length and the hood has an option that keeps it from drooping over your eyes. This jacket feels good in the rain and does not give that steamy, sticky sensation you get from non breathable material.

Update: I wore this jacket during a two hour steady downpour while hiking. Only the edges of sleeves were damp. The other 95% was dry. Once the rain stopped, my body head quickly dried the sleeves.

This trike is a must for 2 year olds. It is durable yet light weight if I have to move it. The tires are real rubber, not cheap plastic, so the traction is great. My son tools around the house on this trike on my hard wood floors without a problem, and I dont have to worry that he is scratching the floors because of the real rubber tires. My son can actually reach the petals, not like some out there. The sound features are awesome!~Not like some annoying of the sounds and music that some bikes or big wheels have. Real directionals that work and no annoying horn to beep. I love this trike and have recommended this to everyone I know who has children. I think the price is great also!

We read the reviews on Amazon and ordered this, and we're happy. There are several good points:

1. It looks like a real moped. Our 21 month old loves seeing motor bikes and mopeds, and is enchanted with having his own.

2. The style is good. It has good design the curves and styling has some quality to it. They have obviously thought about the aesthetics of this toy.

3. Its light. Our 21 month old can carry it around himself (for short distances).

4. Its easy to put together.

Overall, this is a case where the good reviews of this product have really come true for us, so far.

Product arrived on time, and nicely packed. Front and seat post skewers fits fine, however the rear skewer was TOO SHORT for a 2013 Diamondback Insight 1. Someone else mentioned that it was too short for a Giant as well. I can confirm that all the skewers are long enough for a 2010 Trek 7100.

All of the experts recommend the removal of the quick release levers from the saddle and wheels and these do serve their purpose. The rear axle skewer was too short ( Giant Bicycles ). Guess we'll have to risk it.

Honest reviews on Evo 3Pc Skewer Set - Fr, Rr, Seat

My son needed a set of these skewers for his bike when he went off to college, since he had quick release for both axles and seat, and that is just too risky. These were simple to install and although they don't actually lock, it is definitely more trouble to remove these than the quick release type, and for the price, they fit our need perfectly.
