This scooter is good. I like it and my brother has it and he likes it too. The bars and deck are good. The wheels are only plastic core but if you don't weight to much it is ok. You should buy some Odi longnecks to go with it because the handles are soft but they give you blisters. Overall I like the scooter alot.

This was a birthday gift for my 4 year old son. The materials are very high-grade. Construction was very easy. Very smooth operation. Also seems extremely sturdy -he and I both ride it together without any signs of stress to the scooter. I think the handle height is ideal for people between 4 and 5.5 feet tall (1.2 m to 1.7 m). I recommend this if you or your child are into scooters.

I chose this one because he has a earlier model which he has outgrown. He will be eight next month and I wanted something more for his size. He and his friends really enjoyit. He does all kinds of tricks on it. That is also why we got him the helmet.

The week this product arrived, a friend managed to get a thorn in his tire. We rode to his house and completed the job in 5 minutes. Here are the steps:

-Turned bike upside down and removed wheel

-removed inner tube from tire

-Found the hole (you may need water or soapy water to help)

-Sanded hole area to be patched at least the size of the patch

-Applied the sticky patch. Be careful removing it from it's backing because it is a gooey sticky mess if you aren't careful. Smoothed it out to remove air bubbles

-installation is opposite of removal. Align valve in tube with hole in wheel first

-Push tire and tube onto wheel.

-Pump with air and go bike!

The bike was a Trek about 7 years old, 26" standard style, not MTB or racing type. We did not need the included tire tools, just an air pump. It comes with a little piece of sand paper, but since I knew about it before I left I brought my own sandpaper so I can use the kit sand paper in a real emergency. Sanding the hole prior to patching seems important to remove any loose grim around the hole too allow proper adhesion. The patches are very gooey and sticky. This kit seems good for punctures without having to carry a spare inner tube but won't help if the wound is much larger than a hole from something the size of a standard sized 3.5mm headphone jack.

The tire held up for the afternoon ride, if the patch does not work long term, I'll update this post. Overall I was happy it is light weight and easy to use.

As an avid cyclist, this thing comes in handy a lot. Makes repairs quick and easy and has definitely more than paid for itself with the time and money I've saved. Your results may vary on the repairs, but you'll most certainly end up with something to last you until you can get where you're going and they might just last a little longer. Have had some patched tubes last me longer than the tires themselves. Never had a problem with anything drying out but I probably go through these more quickly than most.

Honest reviews on Park Tool Tire & Tube Repair Kit - TR-1C

These were solid and got the job done. They are very low profile and stack together so they are easy to keep in a bike bag or tool box. Simple and all you need. DO NOT get metal tire levers if you have powdercoated wheels, they will scratch them. This set is perfect for powder coated wheels.

The levers seemed strong but the tip does bend after several uses. Also the patch seems to hold air after several weeks and gradually leak over a 2 month period despite proper patching technique. I find rubber cement patch kit work better than this tape patch even though it's more convenient on trails.

Review of Nite Ize See'Ems LED Mini Spoke Lights, Purple

Nite Ize See'Ems LED Mini Spoke Lights, Purple
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars
Buy Now
I bought these in pink and purple. I have one pink and one purple light on each tire. The purple light isnt dark, but its a very pretty purple. The pink looks just as pink as the packaging! There is a small LED light in the very center of the product, which makes you think its impossible to see at night, but the entire piece of plastic is lit up!. I only put 2 lights on each wheel, but have to option to add more. These lights definately make a scene when you ride by! (Thats really what we want, right?!) If you only add one or two lights, you wont see a full circle when your wheel spins, but maybe 1/2 to 3/4 of a circle of light will show. If you add more lights, I am sure you would be able to see a full circle when your wheel is turned. The product is initially hard to turn on and off, but eases up with use. I litterally thought I was going to break the whole shabang when I turned the light off, but I didn't and the light was easy to turn on and off after that, so dont be afraid to put a little muscle into your twisting! If you have a question about mounting, the back has a metal piece on it, much like a binder clip. You open the clip and then slide your spoke into a black piece of plastic (looks like Pac Man with a closed mouth!), then you will slide the metal clip over the top of the black piece to secure it in place. I ran over some huge potholes on accident and my lights were still securely in place when I got home! I have purchased other lights that mount to your tire valve and hit the largest bump possible and didn't have any luck, it obviously stayed in place because it was screwed on, but didn't light up, even for a second. With the Nite Ize, you are guaranteed to be seen as long as you have a working battery! Unlike some other product reviews I have seen, you are able to see the light from BOTH sides of your tires. I definately reccommend this product. I said I have the pink and purple, but I assume the other colors of the See'Em LED lights work just as well! Good Luck!

Not super bright, but an awesome color. If you really want to be lit up while riding, get more than one set. Also, they have to be on the bike spokes to get enough leverage to turn on, so don't be like me and think the batteries are dead when you get them and can't get them to work right away :)

I put four lights on my front tire. A friend told me they look cool. A little hard to turn on and off sometimes.

They are nice and bright. great for night biking. They snap on tightly. They may be difficult for a child to turn on. the turn on to twist is very tight, but i think it will help them last for a long time.

Best Kenda K23-S6 Street Wire Bead Bicycle Tire, Gumwall, 26-Inch x Deals

Kenda K23-S6 Street Wire Bead Bicycle Tire, Gumwall, 26-Inch x 1-1/4-Inch
Customer Ratings: 4 stars

These tires are accurately described as the rims they will fit. Perhaps the seller could also add the fact these are 597 mm tires and fit only older S6 rims typically found on older Schwinn bicycles with 26 inch tires. There are several 26" tires sizes and the buyer needs to know what is needed which is easy to determine by looking at the tire you want to replace. There are very few tire choices for S6 rims these days. This Kenda tire is well made and I've used them for years and they last a long time. The tread style is an accurate reproduction of the tread style of older Schwinn tires from the '60's and '70's. There is no reason to downgrade these tire because the previous reviewer did not know what tire he needed. If you need an S6 tire then these will do the job nicely. It would be nice if Amazon offered these tires in black walls as well a older Schwinn's such as the Breeze originally came with black wall tires.

I recently picked up an old used Schwinn at a flea market that was in good shape except it needed new tires. No problem I thought I have plenty of 26" tires at home.

After 15 minutes of trying to mount a ISO 559mm 26" tire on the rim I took a closer look at the tires that came off the bike."S5 or S6" it said. Some google searching found that Schwinn used ISO 597mm tires on some of it's old bikes.

Bottom line: if you need ISO 597mm tires (S5 or S6) it seems like Kenda and SUNLITE are the only people still manufacturing this tire size. This tire does the job and does it for relatively cheap

I agree with the other review. The gumwall section is inconsistent and is not centered well. It makes the tire appear lopsided when spinning. I also had a very difficult time getting the tires to sit properly on the rims. I don't know if it's because the shipper sent them in a bag and folded them or if the tires are low quality. I have never in my life had any problems installing tires on any other bike rims. I wish there were more options for these rims.

I bought these to replace the old tires on my 70's Schwinn tandem. They installed easy and are working well.

There are few choices when it comes to these vintage size tires. I choose these Kendas because I've had a reasonably good pair of gumwall tires from them before. The quality on these tires, however, is barely satisfactory.

My biggest gripe is that the division between the beige gumwall rubber and the vulcanized black rubber is inconsistent. It weaves back and forth across some of the molded lines on the tire by up to a full cm on one of the tires I received. This makes the wheel seem off center and lumpy even if it is seated correctly and the effect on a spinning wheel is aesthetically displeasing.

The tires are also hard to seat. I wasn't able to get the tire seated perfectly but I can't guarantee whether this is the tire's fault, the rims, or my own lack of experience though I'm usually comfortable with changing tires.

Lumpyness aside, riding on them felt fine and the tread pattern matches what was originally on my Schwinn Collegiate.

Reviews of Wheels Manufacturing Presta Valve Extenders 73mm Silver

Wheels Manufacturing Presta Valve Extenders 73mm Silver
Customer Ratings: 3 stars

Judging from the picture and description of "extenders", I thought I was getting multiple extenders. Instead, only one arrived. What's worse, the one that arrived wasn't machined property and only had an opening on one end. While the product quality and quantity get 1 star, I give the seller 4 stars for responding to my complaint and refunding my money. The seller claims Amazon chose the photo of 8 extenders which misrepresent the 1 extender you will get, but that doesn't explain why the seller's description is plural.

This tool does not work on regular, classic, usual, normal spoke nipples. Who knew that "internal" means some new, exotic, incompatible type of whiz-bang spoke nipple.

This is the tool I needed to rebuild my wheel, and it works as described. However, my only complaint is that the label/sticker on the handle that identifies the sizes easily comes up/peels off and I need to keep sticking it back down.

Plastic body appears tough I've used tools with rubbery handles that become gummy and sticky and fall apart but it doesn't appear that that will be an issue with this tool.

If you don't have one, get one. Nice addition to a toolbox. Has the right sizes for truing those pain to true carbon wheels. Fits perfectly in the nipple opening. Does the job!
