I purchased this shim to mount a 27.2mm suspension seatpost on my mountain bike that requires one that is 30.9mm. It fits perfectly and allows proper tightening of the seatpost.

I had a new cx bike that needed a larger diameter seatpost but this inexpensive shim let me use a carbon post I had laying around. Win!

Honest reviews on Problem Solvers 3.7mm Shim, 27.2 Seatpost to 30.9

This is awesome, I upgraded my xc frame to an all mountain frame, and seat-post diameter increased from 27.2 to 30.9...

Instead of having to sell my old seatpost and purchase another one at a hefty cost, I found the "problem solvers" shim to save my day.

It works great, 100mm of length made sure my seatpost sit in nice and snuggle. Once clamped, it is very secure just like a 30.9mm seatpost.

Save yourself some money and get this if you want to reuse your old seatpost!

Cheap Kenda Kiniption 26x2.3 Black/Black Wire Tire

Kenda Kiniption 26x2.3 Black/Black Wire Tire
Customer Ratings: 3 stars
Buy Now
This type of steel beaded tire is not to be folded for any reason because of the potential of breakage of the wire ,visible or not visible, from inside the rubber rim of the tire. Kenda confirmed that this tire should not be folded, and that they ship these tires flat to business owners (for sale to the public). The tires shipped to me from Xtreme Bike & Sports were shipped to me folded up which caused permanent damage to the wires inside the tires. The owner of Xtreme Bike & Sports refused to accept responsibility that their shipping practices can or will cause damage to this tire and the potential of causing serious physical injury to an unsuspecting customer from a blowout or immediate flat tire while riding along heavy car traffic or crossing streets on a regular bike or electric bike at a faster speed. All other sellers to their customers should heed this warning as a matter of public safety. I will not do business again with the seller mentioned above for knowingly failing or refusing to accept responsibility for selling damaged tires and its unreasonable shipping practices, including refusing to issue a return shipping label or refund or replacement. It should be noted that the Kenda tire in and of itself is a good tire for any bike, especially an electric bike (which requires a steel beaded tire for safety purposes), so this complaint is not against Kenda, rather an advisement to not use it if it has previously been folded.

I am very happy with these tires. These were/are the highest pressure,(mine say 80 PSI) fattest tires I could find. They look awesome and they perform great. Very low rolling resistance and tough enough for urban assault. I have 2 sets of disc wheels for my mountain bike with the same cassette on each rear wheel. I just switch from my dirt wheels to my street wheels and go.....

Almost bullet proof tire. Reliable, tuff and goes through almost everything in it's path. Stretching and installation takes some work, but the end result is worth your while.

Smooth, durable, corners well, and climbs wells. a bit hard to mount but nothing that some heating up in the sun won't remedy. I think I found my new go to tire for training and racing. Mounted on Mavic Ksyrium SLs.

Review of Tektro Mini Linear-Pull Brake 80mm Arms Front or Rear Silver

Tektro Mini Linear-Pull Brake 80mm Arms Front or Rear Silver
Customer Ratings: 5 stars

This brake is a short pull style, which is a nice size for hybrid 700c bikes (same size wheel as road bike). Using these, the brake pads don't have to be so close to the rim.

Caveat: 26" mountain bike wheels will not have tire clearance for tires larger than 1.5" or so.

I put one of these on each of my atv's. It fits perfectly on Honda Foreman, Yamaha Grizzly and Polaris Sportsman. It mounts easy and firmly not moving around. Carry all sorts of stuff. It is really handy and I'm glad I have 3 of these. Note: I put different cargo products on the rear. But for the front, this is a perfect size!

I installed this on the front rack of a Honda Recon using the included mounting hardware with no problems. Thanks to the advice of another review, I used some cut up pieces of an old inner tube anywhere metal touched metal and there is almost no noise. It's just a simple basket, but with a couple of shock straps it holds most anything i need.

Great ATV basket to use on the back of the ATV. Doesn't have to be installed on top of the front or rear racks, can be installed behind the rear rack. Very sturdy. Great product. Great price from Amazon.

Honest reviews on Kolpin Front Gear Basket

Throw away the useless mounting hardware and budget a trip to Home Depot to pick up hardware. Basket is sturdy. Installation directions are useless. Rattles like crazy when riding. I need to take it off and re-install it with some rubber between the metal. So...learn by my mistake.....while picking stuff at Home Depot, get some rubber spacers or washers to eliminate the rattles. The mfg. does not send you squat to stop the rattles or mount the unit.

I purchased a more elaborate expensive basket (Same brand the one with a tail gate that hangs off the back) for the back, but wish I purchased this simple one for the back as well.

Nice rack, but no fasteners included for installation. I have contacted Kolpin about this. Hopefully they will respond and send me the appropriate fasteners. Other than this I'm happy with the rack. Looks well built.

I contacted Kolpin about this and they very promptly shipped me the missing hardware with no hassles. I was very impressed and will buy products that they make again.

Best Vuelta SE Chainring Deals

Vuelta SE Chainring
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars

using it on a 20" wheel bike. Got up to 25mph on a short run without a huff or puff first time out and that was easy pedaling on the 13 tooth cog. This is a good quality ring and not flimsy at all.

I had a unique ratio-challenge on my Day6 bicycle--and this chain-ring, mounted on the Nexus 7 hub solved my problem.

Best Deals for Vuelta SE Chainring

I took the plunge and purchased this chainring despite having a suspension seat-post as the product image, knowing that Amazon would pull through just in case. I bought the 32T 104BCD matched with some Deore LX Hollowtech II cranks and a BBG sandwich combo.

It's a nice chainring that went great with my 1x9 setup on my Specialized Stumpjumper 29er FSR.

Honest reviews on Vuelta SE Chainring

I looked and looked and this is the highest tooth count I could get for less than $50. This brings me into the mid 30s mph, but I still feel like I can push my racing recumbent faster.

OK, I don't actually own one of these, but look at that picture. I'm having a hard time imagining how this incredibly strange chainring mounts to a spider, or how the chain passes over it. Does anyone do quality control on these listings? Does Amazon read these reviews? I guess I'll find out!
