Reviews of XLC Boxed Tube, 26 x 1-3/8, SCHRADER

I am new at fixing up bikes, but my current bike demands that I get good at it fast. Everything on that frame needs to be replaced. First on my list was tires and tubes, since my old tubes could not even stay inflated for an entire ride.

So I ventured out to purchase my first tubes, and selected these.

They arrived in fantastic conditionthe rubber hadn't changed texture, flexibility, or density, so these hadn't been exposed to improper conditions during storage.

They were easy to install, and inflate readily. They have yet to spring a leak, even after weeks of riding over gravel and broken glass, although part of that has to do with my tires as well.

A great buy, and I will be buying these again once I need new tubes.

Works like it should, I don't see any drawbacks to buying this brand and it's the best price on amazon for this hard to find, odd size tube.

The tube was of good quality and holds air. I don't know how it worked out because I gave it away to a teen that didn't have a bike.

Worksman Port-o-Trike Three Speed Adult Tricycle Blue Reviews

Worksman Port-o-Trike Three Speed Adult Tricycle Blue
Customer Ratings: 3.5 stars
Buy Now
I chose an adult trike, as I have a balance problem, and can no longer ride a bike. Assembly took some time, but it arrived more assembled than most. It feels sturdy and comfortable when I ride. The hand brake and coaster brake are easy to use. It is hilly, where I live and I have no trouble slowing down or stopping, on downward slopes. (If you do live in a hilly place, having 3 speeds is a very good idea.)

I find it is easy on my back and knees and feels stable, when I ride. However, if you are used to riding a 2-wheeler, you should be aware that a trike feels surprisingly different. You may need some practice before it feels natural to ride it. (On good advice, I found an open area and rode figure-8's until I got the knack of steering it.)

It has given me back the pleasure of pedaling, which I missed very much.

Called factory and I was able to get a front wheel with drum brake.

I Love my bike well built and it is MADE IN THE U.S.A.

Missing parts, damaged threads, mismatched parts. If you like a challenge and a chance to be creative this is for you. The bike came 70% unassembled in a box, the box was trashed, there was no protective packing inside, luckily not too much damage to the bike. I had to use my own screws and bailing wire to assemble, took about 6 hours. The bike itself is OK, I don't think 2nd gear is working, just goes straight from 1st to 3rd. I guess I will find out how it holds up. Amazon should be ashamed sending me a bike that was obviously returned before.

Honest reviews on Worksman Port-o-Trike Three Speed Adult Tricycle Blue

First let me tell you Amazon was fabulous to work with during this nightmare. We bought US made product to support our country and had hoped for a better situation. Our first trike order arrived damaged, according the the manufacture Workmans! However, the product showed no sign of damage but the foldable pins didn't line up. UPS picked the product up and we received the second trike in less then 5 days. The process went very smoothly. Although, the previous follable pin issue was now not a problem this time; there were 3 other major problems. First, the intertube had 2 punctures requiring a new inter tube, secondly, you could peddle but the bike didn't move and it required a trip to the bike store for diagnosis. The factory didn't tighten a screw, thirdly a problem with the wheel feeling like it had a flat spot requiring another trip to the bike store and it had something to do with the tire rim which they fixed. Finally, after a few trips and other adjustments the bike was finally ready to ride. Obviously, this is a quality control issue! Amazon gave us a nice credit for the hassle and the purchase of the intertube but had one more thing happened we would have shipped it back for good! I am sad to say we were not happy with Workman's product and hope that they will do a better job with their quality control!

We looked at many Adult Tricycles. Most where big and not easy to store. They were heavy and took up alot of garage room. We also wanted something that we could take with us when we travel. We decided on the Worksman Port-O-Trike 3spd. Upon arrival the Trike was simple to put together. Everything needed was in the box. The parts lined up for securing. The instructions are easy to follow and there is always the youtube video that helps those that need it.

Remember to check wheel tightness before riding. It will take a little ride time to get used to the balance of a tricycle over a standard bike. The 3 speeds make it easy to pedal. The seat and handlebars will set up for just about anyone to ride. The rear basket is set a little close and your feet will hit on it when you pedal. I reset the basket farther back, (had to drill two new holes), to fix this problem. We have been asked by several people where we got the trike. The size is what draws people to it. No more fighting the big 26 inch heavy weights. The bike is great if you need to store it. It is also great if you are older and would have a problem dealing with a larger trike. It is very easy to get on and off. it is a big plus being lower to the ground than a full size bike. If you are looking for a trike to ride around the neighborhood or take to the local market this is it. If I still had my boat

this would be my equipment transport. Worksman Port-o-Trike Three Speed Adult Tricycle

This is without a doubt the best bike pump I have ever owned. It never fails and fits both schrader and presta valve stems. My tires are tubular presta and I can't tell you what a nuisance it was fitting on the adapter. Not with this pump. It's almost effortless.Totally built to last. I inflate my tires to 125-130 PSI and it only takes several easy strokes to get there. Topeak makes great products. No nonsense. No cutting corners.

Whether your bike tires use schrader or presta valves, this bike pump is very easy to use. The night it arrived, I immediately pumped up the tires in both of my bikes to 60psi and barely broke a sweat. The pressure guage that is attached to the frame is the ultimate in convenience. It is really nice to get the immediate feedback from the guage on just how much air is in those tires. I have even used this pump to add a bit of air into my car's tires--it's just that easy to use. I highly recommend this pump.

The Joeblow Pro Floor Bike Pump is by far the best floor pump I've ever used!

I've been biking for 25+ years and have used many different floor pumps at many different events. The Joeblow Pro is very simple to use. You won't be disappointed with this pump!

Topeak products are all top of the line!

Honest reviews on Topeak JoeBlow Pro Floor Bike Pump

First head lasted about 6 months, had to pay Topeak to ship a new one. Second head lasted about 6 months. Heads work great untiul the seals stop sealing. Won't pay Topeak for another one. It's been used only on presta valves, about twice a week and well-cared for otherwise. Won't be buying another.

Wow. No screwing around here. This pump is the top of the line. Easily inflated my 700 x 23 tires to 100 psi with no pressure leaks. Has a large, easy to read dial guage and a bleed-valve to get your pressure exact. SmartHead is awesome no more stupid adapters for my Presta valves (which contributed to leaks while inflating with other pumps.) Its heavy, it's chrome, it's solid. I love this thing. Worth every penny.

I really love this bike. I have arthritis in my wrists but the handlebars are comfortable, not having to put much pressure on my wrists. The brakes are also easy to grip and pull. The seat is soft and a little wider so no sore bones in my butt. I will mount a basket on the front. It's easy to strap things on the rear with bungee cords. Seven gears are perfect, not too many or too few. It's a great cruising bike, very comfortable and practical.

Nice bike for the price but it arrived with lots of dings in the paint because of poor shipping packaging. Not the Schwinn quality of the past. The welds were not smoothed out and ruff. Front brake was loose when it arrived and took some time to get it hooked back up and adjusted. I will pay the extra money next time and buy from a local bike shop.

I was a little intimidated when this arrived and I began reading the assembly instructions, but once I sorted it out, (and recruited my husband), we had it together in about 30 to 40 minute because most of it is already assembled anyway. Now that I've ridden it a few times, I just love it. The seat is wider and more comfortable than the normal narrow bicycle seats, it has 7 gears although I haven't gone beyond the second gear yet, lol. It rides smoothly and looks sporty. Love it and recommend it to anyone!

Honest reviews on Schwinn Women's Sanctuary 7-Speed Cruiser Bicycle (26-Inch Wheels)

I am really happy with this bike. I think it's beautiful, and the price was very reasonable. However, much like one of the other reviewers, the bike was damaged right out of the box. There were several scuffs on the bike, and the threads on the screw holding the derailleur in place were stripped, causing the derailleur to hang loosely, rendering the bike unrideable. When I called the company to see about replacement, they were entirely unhelpful, demanding that I send photos etc via email. Luckily, the issue was fixed cheaply at a local bike shop and I didn't have to jump through the hoops set up by Pacific Cycle.

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

I've never slid out on my singlespeed 29er with this. It ran under a RockShox Recon Silver TK on a Blunt rim and always performed adequately. Ran it with a tube at 35psi. Seems tough enough for all but the most extreme use.

Paired it to a Geax Saguaro 2.2 in the rear, great combo.

Tires arrived quick and in great condition, mounted quick and easy and got me back on the trails. Was worried about the fit as I had some odd rims on my ol' Cannodale Super V2000. Great looking and nice riding. Appreciate items exceeding our expectations. Thanks!
