ETOU XC 3-mode 4-LED Bicycle Tail & Safety Light Review

Customer Ratings:

cheap, easy to install, and multiple times I've had it on blinky mode and forgotten to turn it off overnight, yet the next day still working fine! I keep an extra in my bag just in case the battery dies, but so far so good. completely worth it.

My bike is my only transportation, so I use it everyday. My expensive cat eye light was stolen and I needed a quick replacement for safely commuting home at night. This was a quick fix, but ended up being a great purchase. I don't recommend it for night riding in the sense of seeing the path ahead, but for safety of letting cars know you're there, it's very bright. Also it is super convenient to take on and off the bike. I was worried about the rubber getting old and breaking from too much use, but so far so good after about 6 months of daily use.

I ride through dark roads often, this light is very bright for being so small. It doesn't weigh much and stays put on the bike handle. The battery life seems to last long too. Could also be used as a good flashlight.

For the Low cost it seems like its good quality. Package contained 2 so that was a nice surprise. They fit nicely on my bike.

I've had these on my bike for about 6 months (one in white, one in red), occasionally leaving them out in a snow or rain storm, and they've held up fine. They don't turn on accidentally in my bag or jacket pocket, so I haven't had to replace the batteries yet. This is huge for me, since my Knog Frog Lights did that to me all the time and I was constantly replacing their batteries. I'm much happier now. They're also much brighter than my former single-LED lights. They don't do that much to illuminate the road, but they do a lot to alert cars to my presence. I like them a lot and can't believe they were so cheap! Note that it took about 3 weeks for them to arrive, though. Straight from China.

This is my second order. The tubes are as reliable as any I've used, regardless the brand name or price. Very satisfied.

For a while until SLIME tubes come with a valve long enough for all the new deep rims out there now, these combined with the SLIME you can add through the removable valve core are the cheap quality answer to all but weight weeny grade puncture sealing tubes in new deep rim wheels. You can but probably won't put these in your Zipp 808s. 48mm is just long enough to fit the Velocity B43 rim(about the deepest there is in metal rims) with enough for the air chuck. You may have to hold it on for the last few psi if yours is loose fitting. Or just leave your little schraeder adapter on instead of the black cap. Anyway:

1. Get the proper size tubes for your tires & wheelset. Remove the removable presta valve cores(these are the only long valve tubes that have this) using a smaller adjustible wrench on the two flat spots ground on the core. Careful if you use pliers not to booger up the threads, over tighten or bend the tiny valve pin by doing this with it open. Don't torque the stem off by holding the other end where the rubber tube joins either. This stuff should only just be finger-tight for good a seal.

2. Squeeze in ~2oz of SLIME for rd, ~3oz for medium commuter tubes, ~4oz for MTB tubes. Please get the SLIME from the hardware/department/auto store by the L instead of by the 8oz in the bike store. Much cheaper and it doesn't 'go bad'. Support your local bike store by buying other things you can only find there instead of bulk marked-up ubiquities.

3. Install your Q Tubes with THE most complete, relevant and all around best instructions anyones ever printed on the back of a tube box. And I worked at bike shops.

Oh and throw out your 5lb 'puncture resistant' tires and tubes, your PITA 'tire liners' and all that other crap. None of that stuff will SEAL a puncture(or multiples) up to 1/8". Nothing PREVENTs them better than vigilant riding with proper tire pressure.

Now go ride safely with manners now that you have piece of mind and more $ left over.

Delivered on time and I plan to use soon. I like to keep spares just in case I blow a tube.

Discount Campagnolo 2010 Centaur UD 10-Speed Steel Road Bicycle Cassette

Hello

Very nice cassette for the money but it's not Chorus quality. The main reason for the purchase was for it's ratios, I do not need an 11 or 12 tooth cogs. I rather not use compact drive-train as less teeth usually means quicker wear. I wish Campy would offer real world ratios, as I rarely ever need anything bigger than 53x15.

Also, I strongly recommend using a Campy chain.

I've paired it with a non campy chain ... works but nothing like the smooth and precise action of the Chorus cassette and chain.

Thanks

Review of Bell Array Bike Helmet

Customer Ratings:

OK...I admit it...I don't have much use for bicycle helmets. I don't know how I've been riding for 50+ years and survived without wearing a helmet. I guess the same way I survived riding around in a car for many years before seatbelts and kid car seats. I must just be a survivor.

My problem with bike helmets years ago when people first started considering using them was they were heavy and they made you feel like you were a benched linebacker. They were like wearing a heated kettle in the summer and what do you do with it when you weren't riding? No...I don't need to wear a darn helmet.

Then I started to do a little mountain biking. Not quite the same as my past experience and now that I've reached the "age of maturity" and my nagging spouse has honed her skills...I decided to consider the merits of riding with a little protection for my noggin.

This brings me to the part where I share my experience of the Bell Array. I knew I wanted a Bell helmet because of past experience riding motorcycles. If I'm going to consider riding my mountain bike with a helmet on my head I wanted the quality of construction Bell is known for. I knew my decision on the Bell Array was a good one after the first ride. This thing is comfortable, very light weight, and most surprising to me was that it was "airy". It's almost like having a fan built into the helmet the way the air is channeled and circulated. I'm of the opinion that it very much feels like you aren't wearing anything at all...I like that for obvious reasons. That and the fact that it's one less thing that "she who must be obeyed" has to nag me about.

If you're like me and would prefer not to wear a pot on your head when taking a non-competitive bike ride but good sense or a nagging wife dictates otherwise...I highly recommend that you give the Bell Array a look. It's very lightweight, easily adjustable, comfortable, and cool. It's made for people who otherwise might hate bike helmets just as I did.

I crashed my bike 2 weeks ago by hitting a dog while doing about 20 mph. There was nothing I could do, not enough time to react, and I couldn't even get my hands out to brace myself. I landed head first with the Bell Array taking the force of a 300lbs rider falling onto it without anything else to soften the blow to the head but the helmet.

The helmet cracked in 5 places, the foam compressed to 1/2 the thickness it normally is, the plastic of the helmet allowed the helmet (and me) to continue travelling forward which likely lessened the overall force to the head.

I feel that I'm fortunate to be alive and question whether I would still be alive if it wasn't for my Bell Array helmet.

My recent purchase of this helmet is to replace the one broken in the crash. I trust this helmet with my life.

I purchased this helmet after hitting a dog at 30mph and destroying my old one. I was looking for comfort, air-flow, and weight, in that order. The primary reason I ordered from Amazon was they had this helmet for a great price, and I could get it here quick.

Functionally, this helmet has been great. I get plenty of air-flow through the vents to keep my head cool, and I have done several 2-3 hour rides, and rarely notice this helmet. Hopefully I won't need another helmet for a few more years, but if I do, this will likely be it.

Honest reviews on Bell Array Bike Helmet

Just getting back into cycling after 25 years removed, on a budget no less (aren't we all?). I wanted a decent helmet for under $100, one that got good reviews, and one that matched the rig. I also wanted one that had the inner foam "finished" all the way down the back of the helmet. The ARRAY does all this. All the reviews you read about sizing are dead onthis lid can be dialed in to fit perfectly! FYI, unless your head is a pin or a melon, go for the "M" size. My measurement was at the upper end of the sizing range on the MEDIUM, but found out this weekend that I still had enough slack to dial it out to fit a tight cap on underneath due to the cold weather we're having. Also, the back "webbing" seems to come down a little further than other helmets, offering more protection and a more confident fit. For the $$$, you can't go wrong!

PSAlso found out that Giro and Bell are the same Co.!

does the job! It is a 3/32" which is more common. Be careful about what size you order. 1/8" is for older chains I assume. This worked great though for my purpose.
