This was ordered to repair a bicycle that my son rides frequently to do a paper route. It has done the job satisfactorily. No complaints. We recommend it. Seems to be a good product for the price.

I am using this chain on a Bianchi Premio six speeds. This chain shifts smoothly. The chain and Shimano Freewheel 14-28, work well together.

This is the first time,I use this brand, usually I am able to obtain 2500 miles out of a chain.

I ride mostly on flat roads, sometimes against strong winds, which it would the equivalent of uphills.

I believe this chain, if cleaned regularly, it should last for a long time.

This is a great chain. However I've noticed it getting bad reviews from people who lack the mechanical skills possessed by a 7-year-old child! I say "7-year-old" because that's how old I was when my dad taught me how to open & close master links!

The kmc master link is a lot faster & easier to use than the fat, clunky "old-fashioned" master on my old 20" coaster!

This is how to install it:

1 observe the flat plate. notice it has a slot running the length of it, with a "hole" at one end to put the pins through.

2 observe the pin side of the master. notice the pins have grooves in the ends & the back plate is bent slightly "outward".

3 put chain through bike, put master pin plate through the ends of chain with "open" side facing you.

4 put "hole" in front plate over one pin & slide down to other end, so that "hole" can be positioned over second pin.

5 firmly hold links on either side of master in each hand, hold front plate "hole" over second pin with thumb.

6 gently, but firmly, bend master pins "together" toward yourself, until "hole" slips onto second pin.

7 gently release chain. the tension of the chain will pull the pins outward & front plate will make a "click" sound as it locks into the groove in the second pin.

To remove the master link: slack the chain, push pins together to align "hole" over pin, have a helper wiggle the plate off with needle-nose pliers.

If chain tension makes bending the pins together difficult, have a helper hold up the derailleur pulley to slack the chain. If you have a single speed bike, loosen/remove the rear wheel to slack the chain.

It's so easy a 7-year-old could do it! Took me about 10 seconds to install the master link, easiest master I've ever installed!

This is a wonderful chain with easy installation and quality. I put it on 26" mountain bike with 18 speed, it works very well.

The chain is great for the price, but the Ventura quick link for the 3/32 wide chain is very odd. One plate of the quick link has both pins fixed to it. The other plate has one key hole. One has to flex the plate to get the final pin through the key hole. I had to use pliers.

It is easier to re-use the original pin. To re-use the pin, you will have to keep the outside plates. Since I was going to use the quick link, I punched out the pin for these outside plates.

I am really sad to give these socks such a poor rating. They're VERY cuteamazing color and so much fun to wear during a dreary winter. Unfortunately, after the first few times wearing them, the elastic became permanently stretched, and now I can't even get it to last more than a few steps before my shoes starts to eat them.

I've worn smartwool socks for years, and I'm a convert to wool socks. I saw these at REI and loved the colors (I have a weakness for whimsical socks) and gave them a try. They're cute and comfortable. So much fun to wear! I went back and bought anther in a different color!

Things I like:

--well made. They hold up in the wash, and I haven't noticed any shrinkage. The colors have stayed bright.

-they stay up. I hate socks that slide down!

a couple of caveats:

--the socks aren't as soft as my smartwool socks. I think that might be due to having a higher wool percentage? I don't find them scratchy but FYI.

--There's no padding or cushion at all. I've since bought a couple pairs of Darn Tough socks that have that, but these are without the cushion. I like them anyway, but your milage may vary.

--Darn Tough socks don't seem to be as stretchy as some socks; be sure you get the right size. I can get away with Smartwool mediums but needed the larges in Darn Tough!

I had never tried this company before. I LOVE these socks. They have quickly become my new favorites. Very smooth, tight weave and not thick feeling. Just what I was looking for.

Honest reviews on Darn Tough Vermont Women's Good Witch Crew Light

Darn Tough socks are the absolute best for QUALITY and value. They last longer than SmartWool and other similar brands. They can go many days between washing for normal use (school, office) and show very little wear after 50+ washes.

I discovered "Darn Tough" socks at my local REI store and bought one pair to try out. Three years later the same pair of socks are still kicking. My feet stay dry during the day. I have since added about seven additional pairs, (multiple colors). Try them, you won't regret it.

This is the first night my daughter got her trike. It really is well made, and pieced together easily. You can see in the video...I had a very hard time capping the neck bolt, you can see the cover is not flush, because the neck bolt assembly seems bigger than the cap. I recommend a vice grip to assemble the neck, I didn't try it but I don't think a ratchet would fit. It must be very tight or else the wheel will go out of alignment and I had to turn the bolt as tight as I could to make sure. The bell is also very hard to push, you can see that she can still make it ring by touching it. I put her whole hand on the bell switch and she still couldn't do it. She likes the sounds and she will eventually be able to press it. The trike has been great. She ate breakfast on it the next day.

Another reason I posted this video is because I had a hard time finding the right bike for her height, and was worried she would not reach the pedals. I couldn't find any information on what height might fit this trike. My daughter is exactly 35 inches here, and 2 years old. With the seat on the lowest position, she can push the pedal forward, but not all the way around so she is still a few inches shy but I expected this. She will be able to push it shortly and I pleased at how well built it is and wifey loves it because it is cute. In the meanwhile, I tied a rope around the neck and tugged her around and she loved it.

Nice product and very pleased.

I bought this for my grand daughters' 3rd birthday and it is a huge hit! She is definitely a girly-girl and is really into pink, so this hot-pink tricycle really hit a home run.

When I brought it in to the birthday party from my daughters' garage my grand daughter forgot about all of the toys she had already opened and ran to the front closet to get her coat so Pop-Pop (what she calls me) could take her outside to teach her how to ride on it. Since we had received 4 inches of snow the night before and were to get 3 more inches that morning the outside thing didn't work out so well. So she decided to ride it in the house. Running over the toys and other gifts she had already opened as well as other people at the party didn't seem to be a problem with her. However the black marks the rubber tires left on the walls were not her dad's favorite thing.

The tricycle was very easy to assemble as is very, very sturdy. With the adjustable seat and handle bars and the fact that it has a tubular steel frame and rubber tires rather than plastic, we expect this to last grand daughter #1 through to the point where she needs a two wheeler and it should still be going strong when grand daughter #2 (born last November) is ready for her first tricycle. We had purchased what is basically the same tricycle when my daughter was 3 (now she is 30) and when my kids were too old for it we gave it to a younger cousin for her children. The last time we were at her house we noticed that tricycle hanging from a ceiling hook in their garage waiting for the next generation of trike riders to enter the scene.

Honest reviews on Radio Flyer Girls Classic Pink Dual Deck Tricycle

This Radio Flyer tricycle is well made and was exactly what we were looking for! Our 15 month granddaughter took off on it as soon as she saw it under the Christmas tree and hasn't stopped since. BUT, don't forget the helmet! She took a dive as soon as we got out on the pavement. Glad she had her helmet on! We liked the classic style of the dual deck, and it makes it easier to get on & off.

Bought two for my twin girl's 2nd b-day. Based on the reviews, I figured they would fit the girls perfect since we have above-average height girls... not the case. Our smaller girls is around 95% for height and it's definitely too big for her and her sister is a couple of inches taller (120%?) and it's just a skosh to big for her. No big deal, they'll grow into them but I was suprised. Assembly was easy, the trikes are sturdy, the only other complaint is the out-gassing of chemicals... stinks up whatever room their in, that can't be good for kids.

lightweight and stays attached to frame through thick and thin.

Used a few times in adventure races and having the two pump volumn settings helps when building up the pressure.

Although I did not buy this product through Amazon, I happened to stumble upon this page and feel that this pump is severely underrated. It functions great, and here a tip if you haven't discovered yet. Try pulling off the end cap. It comes with a cone and needle for various types of balls to air up.
