Review of Sunlite Thorn Resistant Bicycle Tube, 24 x 1-3/8 SCHRADER Valve
It is durable as advertised. I was going with the cheaper tube but I am glad I went with this slightly more expensive one.

Reviews of Razor Lil' Kick Scooter
List Price: $44.99
Sale Price: $29.99

My 2 1/2 year old little girl got one of these for Christmas. She is off like a rocket, which she loves. She gets tired quickly, but as she gets better at it and gets older it will be perfect. Her 4 1/2 year old brother has a more advanced model but she does fairly well at keeping up. The rubber wheels make this a nice, quiet ride so we don't disturb the neighbors at 8am on a Saturday morning when we set off to the playground... Seems good quality and very stable. I still would recommend a helmet be worn though just in case.
Addition to the above: I initially rated this scooter higher but after months of having it, my daughter can't ride it well. The double wheels are at the back and she keeps hitting them with her foot. The more expensive Kick scooter that we bought for my son is preferable to this one. It has the double wheels at the front and seems more stable when in motion.

I bought this scooter for my daughter to get used to the way the scooter worked (as a concept). In that regard, it is great. However, the 2 wheel design in the back makes it scrape her little ankles. The screw heads stick out (they are not flush with the wheels) and having the wheels themselves wider than the base makes it hard to really get going. All in all, it was great for what I bought it for. But pricey for that use. She used it maybe 5 times, now we have to upgrade. She would have taken more spills if I hadn't bought it, but she got scraped up ankles anyway, so really I am just out a good chunk of change!Best Deals for Razor Lil' Kick Scooter
So my 3 year old had to have a scooter. I saw razor, and pink, and I ordered it. Had I looked closely at the picture I would have seen this giant red flag.Look at the capped castle style nut on the center of the rear wheels. If your kid pushes this scooter down the street and back, and does 100 little pushes she is eventually going to get her foot to close to that rear wheel. And when she does, that rounded off steel nut is going to rake across her ankle causing enough pain to buckle the leg.
I let my little girl ride this twice, both times she hit that nut 2-3 times and it just killed me to watch it. I work with product design daily, and I am simply stunned I missed this obvious flaw that comes along with this design. I returned this thing immediately, doubled my budget and got something with a much better build quality packaged around a well thought out design: The Mini Micro scooter.
Seriously consider a single rear wheeled scooter.

Nice item, not meant for anyone older than 4. Good structure but a little unsteady.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Razor Lil' Kick Scooter
I bought this for my 4 year old granddaughter's birthday. She has been wanting a scooter. It is much smaller than I thought and not that sturdy. She loves it riding it, so I couldn't return it, but I wouldn't recommend it. It is cute bright colorful, which is why I gave it 2 stars but in reality if you have an average size toddler this is not the scooter for you. My granddaughter is small for her age yet this is still small.... I guess we get what we pay for.Saturday, January 18, 2014
Buy Kenda Koncept Road Tire 700 x 23C Wire Black/Orange
The tires came with my training bike. I mostly had vittoria and continental tires in the past 15 years but I left those on just to see, and I was very pleasantly surprised. No more flats than usual (about 1 every 1000 miles, which I think is an average amount) and excellent traction. I used them up after about 4000 miles filled with 110psi (and even used them for 2 races!!). These are certainly not as good as $70 tires but if you don't want to spend much, for less then $20 they are great.
These Kenda Koncepts are heavy and BOTH have failed with less than 500 miles. In both cases the sidewall separated I'm very glad that I inspect my tires regularly as I don't like to think about the possibility of a blowout on a 40 mi./h descent. I'm a firm believer in "you get what you pay for". At $13 a pop shouldn't expect much however I had every right to expect a better quality tire on a bicycle costing $1800. Shame on you Kenda and Bottechia USA. Additionally, my local bike shop mechanic told me that it is impossible to true the Vuelta X RP Pro wheels. Stay away from them also. A wheel starts out as a strip of metal that is formed into a circle and joined. If there is a pronounced overlap at the join point you will have a "bump" and it can't be fixed.
There is a lesson here about buying a bicycle on the Internet consisting of very high quality powertrain components at a price that seems too good to be true. The components were primarily duraAce and work very well. In the background there are dirt cheap components in order to meet a price point. These Vuelta wheels and Kenda tires are gone now replaced with a very nice set of dura ace wheels and tubeless tires. It would have been nice not to have to spend over $500 in a wheel and tire upgrade.
Finally, my riding is all on the road and the roads that I ride are 95% good quality with a little shake and bake thrown in but nothing that should have caused both tires to fail in such a short period of time. (Dictated using Dragon NaturallySpeaking version 11 if anything in the previous review doesn't make sense, chalk it up to lack of proofreading)

I ride on fairly clean roads and in less than 300 miles I had 2 Kenda Koncept tires cut completely through the tread and become useless. I have never had any other tires fail this quickly. Stay away from these.Best Deals for Kenda Koncept Road Tire 700 x 23C Wire Black/Orange
I bought an expensive bicycle on the Internet. It had very high quality powertrain components and a carbon frame. The bicycle was purchased on eBay from Bottechia USA. Unfortunately, in order to keep the cost of this assembled bicycle down the vendor used very low quality wheels and tires.These Kenda Koncepts are heavy and BOTH have failed with less than 500 miles.

Yes this inner tube fit the bill exactly on my vintage (1971) 3 speed, Huffy 26" boys bike. It is getting hard to find this 1-3/8" size anymore and I am grateful to Amazon for still having them and at a good price also.

Bought this tube locally at a national department store. I put this tube on my wheel. I DID partially inflate it, like you're supposed to, and work it around the rim adding air slowly to make sure the tube isn't pinching between the tire and rim. Pumped it up to only about 40 pounds and put the wheel back on the bike. 10 minutes later, the tube exploded inside the rim/tire. It blew out right along the seam. It didn't even have full riding pressure!Best Deals for Bell Sports 7015387 26-Inch Universal Inner Tube Bicycle Tire
It's still in the package; so it hasn't been used yet. I'm guessing it'll be fine as a spare if I use it.Thursday, October 31, 2013

List Price: $63.67

This may not be the best rim available but is double wall, has machined walls and matches my bike color exactly. Rim is painted, not anodized. It feels well made and comes with a Flip Flop black ball-bearing NOT sealed hub that works fine. Black spokes, silver nipples. Great wheel for the money.
