I have only purchased from eBay once before and I was actually close enough to the seller to travel to the location to check out the item in person. Therefore, I was ordering this item on faith and was pleased when it was exactly like the item I was replacing.The picture of the item was great.

I use these on my track bike for "training" on the velodrome. Nice, inexpensive option for a narrower tire to run high pressure on the track. Not very supple, but appears to be very durable. I like the simplicity of the tubular-clincher system, actually very easy to mount once you understand how it works, and saves costs on tubes and rim tape. I am looking for a more supple tufo tub-clinch for racing. Not sure I would use these on the road though, as it would be harder to deal with flats.

One flaw I've noticed, which my be due to "user error" -there's a slight hop or bump near the valve. I think this is because an extra piece of rubber is glued on the underside of the tire at the valve, making that section thicker and less flexible, so it doesn't seat in the tire as well. I'm hoping this is not an issue on the costlier models.

This is a great tire. I rode an entire season on a single set. Had one minor puncture, used the sealant and the tire has held air like new ever since. These feel rock solid in the rim, remain inflated at full pressure for much longer than a clincher and tube setup, and roll like tubulars. They can be a bit of a struggle to install but it's hit or miss and more technique related to the installer than an inherent shortcoming of the tire itself.

these are great. running with stans and they already sealed once. makes the ride smother and faster because of less weight.

I bought this seat as a replacement for the seat that came with the Strider Bike. Nowhere on the item description does this seat say that it is a mini seat. Also it says that it is padded, it is not padded. It is a hard plastic. It serves my purpose just fine since it replaced the seat that my dog ate, but it is not what I had expected when I ordered it. They need to change it to say that it is a mini seat for the toddlers. If I had known that is what this seat is I would not have purchased it.

The post did not fit my child's bike and the seat is very small. Both of those I would take as my own responsibility despite doing what I thought was careful measurements. Despite being labelled as padded, even on the factory packaging, it is hard plastic nothing soft about it. That part is false advertising.

Yes it does Presta valves. No you are not missing any pieces. Yes the instructions on the box make no sense at first. Unscrew the head and you'll see a rubber stopper. It doesn't look it it comes out but lift the lock and you can pull it out. Then flip the two parts according to those instructions that now make more sense and put everything back together.

As for how it works, it does its job. Has a nice attachment to go under a bottle cage and feels nice and secure. As for inflating a tire, going from a new tube to 140psi is a pain. That's what a floor pump is for. This is for when you are out and need to go from a flat to enough to get back home. I bought this thinking I could only use this and after a few days, I bought a floor pump. That's not to say it can't get the job done, its just doing a job its not made to do.

I got lucky, had this pump on my bike for only 2 days and then got a flat. Worked like a charm. Easy to attach to bike and the frame bracket that comes with this pump allows you to install this under a water bottle cage. This frees up for another water bottle cage! Good value for the money.

It took me a solid fifteen minutes of dedicated tinkering to figure out that there wasn't a hidden Presta-valve adapter or anything, but the top of the pump needs to be completely disassembled a flipped around in order to work with Prestas. Once I got past that ridiculous obstacle though, I've had nothing but good fortune with this pump--it's gotten dirty, clogged, bashed around, and still is a great way to fill up my tires on the go. 10-15 pumps usually do it for me. Very recommended.

Honest reviews on Topeak Mini MasterBlaster Bike Pump

I ride a road bike with tires that need to be inflated to 120 psi. I have used this pump several times when I have punctured a tire and this was enough to get me home. However it is not possible to use this pump to inflate beyond 100 psi with this pump. I upgraded to the turbo morph with gauge (also by topeak) and I'm really happy with that purchase. However if you ride a mountain bike then this is sufficient.

This bike pump is small, easy to use, and can attach to the same portion of the bike as the water bottle cage. That way you can always have the pump with you in case of emergencies! I really like that aspect of it.

Kevlar tire liners give me more confidence that I'll make it through my rides without tire problems.

Easy to install with directions given by Stop flats...I usually ride 5 days a week on and off road.

Installed a few months ago after a string of puncture flats...ended problems so far.

These have done the job for me for years! I have them in each of my different sized tires for all 29er mtn bike off road and urban tires. I have had tires lacerated from sharp glass and metal protruding from roads, and these protected the tube from blowing out through the large cuts in the tires. Only once a couple of years ago during a particularly nasty Goat Head Thorn plagued section of a ride did I sustain tube punctures to both tires. The STOP Flats 2 customer service rep was very pleasant and quick to replace both tubes and a new set of liners. They even included their terrific plastic tire/rim removal tool as an unexpected bonus. They are easy to install inside the tire, and the dark center strip faces away from the tube. Highly recommended! The security of knowing they're in my tires and ability to stop worrying about having to deal with changing or patching tubes is well worth their nominal price.

Even though my tires are three inches wide, I have not gotten another flat since I install them correctly !!!

The Rhino Rack was purchased to used on my 2011 Ford Ranger to aid me in load/unloading my surfboards and waveski. Also it can serve as a seat while putting-on/taking off wetsuit botties or cycling shoes. I have made the necessary rack height/width adjustments to fit my installed tires and stepping up comfort level. The rack is now stored behind the driver's seat for future use, because it folds up nicely.

VERY NICE ITEM, excellently designed, easy to use, strong and well made, however... it will NOT fit a Honda Element because its wider than the wheel wells and you won't get it even near your tire. It DOES fit my Ford Ranger, however that is not the truck I bought it for. Sure wish they were more exact on what models it fits.

This is just relabled maxima fork oil. Just order that instead. Save $12.

I hate how everything that is bike specific needs to be 3x as expensive as it should be. Especially if its simply relabled motorcycle/auto stuff.

I put this in my Totem and it seems to be better than what was in there. I haven't had any leaks, so it hasn't eaten any seals, but since it was made by RS/SRAM I would hope it wouldn't. Enough to do 2 sets of lowers with plenty left-over. I like the handle for pouring cuz my hands are always greasy and slippery and I hate dropping things that spill.

I bought this to rebuild my rockshox forks. Its good oil, but it is a little pricy. I could have gone to my local motorcycle shop to buy some, but it was my first time changing oil in a fork and decided to use mountain bike specific oil.

I'm not sure what makes this stuff so expensive, but it was cheaper thru Amazon than I could get it locally. Quality appears to be top notch.
