Very sturdy, fits even fat tires for mountain and ATB bikes. Only complaint, it should be designed with rubber on the bottom to keep it from slipping.

i bought this product for my husband so he can use his bike indoors along with a bike stand. It raises the front of the bike so the bike sits level. It is strong and stable and has worked great. My husband can sit on his bike in front of the tv and ride his bike comfortably.

I was blown away by the overall quality and detail of these rims. For the price I expected much less. They were supposed to be the same thing that I put nearly 3k riding trail only. The rear rim was destroyed on a failed attempt at a balance beam. When I unboxed the new rim it took all of about 30 seconds to decide to order the matching front. My only tip is to tension the spokes as some were a bit loose just out of the box. For the price it would be well worth it to take them to your LBS and have them do it for you if you don't know how.

This is simply the best 29" disc brake wheel/hub combo that exists. I rock these economy wheels on my latest 29er build and love them!

Cheap Tufo 700X21 C S33 Pro Tubular-Clincher Tire

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.

I do ride with a lot of gear more than 80 miles every week. I pack my lunch, books, water, extra clothes, and locks. The weight adds up. And as a 160 lb rider, that puts a lot of stress on your wheels. I have been breaking spokes every 2 weeks recently so I thought it's about time for a replacement. I got this wheel because it's reasonably priced with quality parts. DT Swiss? 105's? C'mon it's not the best, but for a commuter like me? that's all I need. Product was delivered in a timely manner. It was true and smooth rolling out of the box. Don't forget to adjust your cones before you ride though. They are a little bit tight. The A23 rims are also REALLY wide. I heard that these are well known for being wide tires but when the wheel came I realized the reviews weren't kidding. I had to adjust my brakes to accommodate these wide rims. They are great wheels, very durable and very stiff. I would recommend buying this wheel for the everyday commuter.

These wheels use good components, the Shimano 105 hubs and Velocity rims are excellent! They do need some love though...

When I receive them, the back wheel was significantly wobbly... To the point they wouldn't roll because of break rub. That was about 5-8 mm off. Front wheel was perfect. Once trued, I went for my first spin. About 30 min, 8 miles with some fast moments (30+ mph), sprints and small hills.

Once back I noticed the rear wheel slightly out of true... So I began tuning the wheels. That's a few hours of work with great attention to detail. Here's my process, based on "Professional Guide to Wheel Building" by Roger Musson (

Oil nipples

Stress relief by squeezing spokes

Lateral True

Check for dish

Check and adjust for even tension (plucking each spoke for tone) balance tension in 1/8 to 1/16 of a turn increments

Increase tension by 1/4 of a turn increments on each spoke

Stress relief

True

Dish

Pluck

Increase tension

Repeated a few more times. I increased tension on those wheels by about 3/4 turns.

On to my second spin the next day... Wheels felt more rigid and were true for the ride. Ride felt smoother than with my previous wheels with same tubes, tires, and air pressure as before. They roll very well.

When going back home, I hit something really hard with my front wheel at about 17 mph... Couldn't tell exactly what it was, I had to focus on traffic... It damaged my front tube (I had a flat)... But the rim was intact and the wheel perfectly true. Definitely a quality set if tuned properly.

Note that I had similar problems with a 29er Shimano set I got for my hybrid. Great wheels but also under tensioned. Perfectly trued out of the box but needed to be aligned after first ride.

Cheap Classic Accessories UTV Rifle Case

Customer Ratings:

The Good: case is very well built and very padded, you have no worries when your riding out in the woods with your favorite hunting rifle inside. theres extra large pockets and storage is a plus if your like me i forget things from time to time when you have to get up early to find that trophy swamp donkey, so i store extra everything, from orange vest to ammo,string and pens. being able to load two rifles or shotguns is great when your hunting with a buddy or cant figure out which gun you want to take so just take two, being able to access the guns quickly and easily is what makes this case one of the best. installing is as easy as it gets just loop straps and buckle then tighten them as you like it makes no noise and does not bounce around.

The Bad: this case is no where near waterproof i found this out the hard way. you would think that something made to be left on your utv ( i own a 2011 polaris ranger 800xp) would be a little waterproof at least but no it isnt i woke up the morning after putting it on my ranger unzipped and slide my rifle in when i got to the stand my rifle and scope was soaken wet it didnt rain the night before but the dew had soaked in and the padding sucked it up like a sponge. im sure you know what its like to be sitting on the stand trying to wipe the water off both ends of your scope lense when your suppose to be relaxing enjoying a good days hunt its a liitle annoying.

The Ugly: after using the case a few times my barrel begain to rust they tend to that after you put it in a wet case a few times even when you oil it and wipe it down its a new rifle just bought this year was a little upset about that

The Ending: over all the case is great keeps your long guns safe and you dont have to worry about the rough ride knocking your scope around. i brought the case in the house and let it dry and sprayed on a waterproof spray that you can pick up from walmart in shoe dept real cheap and i havent had another problem since, so my advice have a can ready when you install and give it a good coating and shouldnt have to many problems with water. i would recomend this case to any its one of the best as long as you waterproof it first.

Saris Bones RS 3-Bike Trunk Mount Rack Reviews

List Price: $299.99

I purchased this rack to haul my bike around. I drive a Cadillac CTS-v. The rack works as Saris markets. I have not hauled three bikes but have done two. No problems what so ever. The rack secures nicely to my trunk lid. The fit is a little awkward as the suction cup brace things don't fit well on the edge of my trunk lid BUT the rack still secures nicely doesn't move around, doesn't damage the pain, doesn't bend or scratch the trunk lid.

One thing that was not mentioned in the instructions is the fact that the front wheel kind of swings (from the unrestricted turning of the bars and wheel) back and forth in the wind. I used a small bungee cord to tie the front wheel to the rack. This isn't a big deal and the wheel wasn't turning back and forth to much but I simply want everything solidly attached and not moving. Plus if for some reason my skewer decided to vibrate loose and let my $400 front wheel fall from the bike, the bungee will hold on to it. probably a bit over protective on my part.

Overall this rack is nice. The locking straps work great and the key really does as advertised. They have plenty of torque with the ratchet system so be careful not to over tighten. The bike is very stable once strapped in. The straps themselves are VERY easy to secure and to release. Installing the rack on the car took a little effort the first time. Now it takes all of 30 seconds 45 seconds if I lock the straps. Taking it off consists of giving the straps some slack and then simply removing the rack from the car. Literally it takes 15-30 seconds to remove it from the car. You can open the trunk with the rack on. You may have to assist it when you hit the "pop trunk button" but opening the trunk is no problem obviously don't try to open the trunk with a bike on the rack.

Great rack overall. I would highly recommend this rack!

I bought the Bones RS for use on my 2003 Subaru Legacy Outback Wagon. I recently completed a 1200 mile trip with two bikes on the back of my car using this rack and the rack was on as tight at the end of the trip as it was when I started out. I would say this rack is as stable and sturdy as any trailer hitch type rack but costs only half as much.

I have previously owned both Thule and Yakima racks and found neither would stay securely mounted to the back of my car. The problems with these racks was that because of the design of the rear of the Subaru, either the ends of the bent metal grips at the ends of the straps weren't sufficiently long enough to securely grip the car (Thule) or the nylon straps and buckles would not maintain tension (Yakima) and in both cases the racks would inevitably loosen up after several miles of driving. I considered installing a receiver and hitch type rack, but it would have cost me $500 and if I sold the car I would have to pay again to install a hitch receiver on whatever I bought. The Bones RS eliminated all these problems.

The rack is very sturdy, goes on quite easily, and stays very tight even after prolonged driving. The use of metal straps and a ratchets for tensioning is a huge improvement over trying to tighten nylon straps with plastic buckles.

As for cons:

1. You have to be careful not to over tighten the metal straps when you mount the rack as it then becomes difficult to release tension on the straps for removal.

2. The plastic straps for securing the bikes to the rack can get in the way when mounting or removing a bike.

Overall I would highly recommend this bike rack. It is as secure as a hitch type rack for a lot less cost and you don't have to worry about straps loosening up.

Best Deals for Saris Bones RS 3-Bike Trunk Mount Rack

I've been using this rack for a few weeks now, and I really like it. The initial set-up took a little while, mostly because the fit guide is online, rather than in the instructions, so we had to guess a little bit to set it in the right notch for my Saab 9-3. But after that it's very easy to install and remove from the car. It's also very stable and the bikes are very secure. I love the feature that locks the rack to the car I don't know of any other bike rack that does that. So if you have a cable lock, you can also lock your bike to the bike rack to deter theft. All in all I'm very pleased with this purchase.

Honest reviews on Saris Bones RS 3-Bike Trunk Mount Rack

I needed I bike rack for my carbon fiber race bike and ended up settling on this one. It hasn't been 24 hours yet since I've been using it but I must say that so far it has met all my expectations. Here's a little background. I recently purchased a carbon fiber race bike from the LBS and had no way of taking it home (10 miles away). Well, I shouldn't say "no way", I just didn't want to ride it home although I could. Furthermore I wanted a bike rack so I could travel with my bike. My #1 concern was damaging my car. I needed a rack that would attach to a 2008 Infiniti G35 sedan without damaging anything. The #2 concern was damaging my bike. Its a full CF bike afterall; the last thing I wanted to do was cause damage to the frame. So I spent roughly 3 weeks researching bike racks (Saris, Thule, Yakima). My car doesn't have a tow hitch receiver so I counted those out, plus I preferred a rack that I could move to another car if needed.

I initially ordered the Thule 9003 Platform rack. After analyzing the majority of complaints for trunk mounted racks (scratching or denting bumper), I also bought a bumper protector from zetaproducts.net. My thought were if it scratches the bumper, then protect the bumper. Both products were to be delivered on the day I was to pickup the bike. However, 2 days before picking up the bike, I got an email saying that the order was canceled due to out of stock. So I figured that everything happens for a reason (actually I was pissed), then did some more research. With a last minute decision it came down to the Bones 2 or the Bones RS. After watching utube videos I decided to go with the Bones RS for its simplicity plus it can be locked to the car; although the lock is a minor deterrent for a bike rack thief. It also has only two straps which are rubber coated wires and has a rubber protector at the hooks to prevent scratches to the car's paint job. Attaching this bike rack to the car was basically effortless and I was able to do it in 3-4 minutes the first time (learning what to do) and less than a minute the second time. Tightening the two straps is done by a built in hand crank. This is super simple stuff. Now for the annoying part. Setting the bars that the bike rests on in the correct position. Pulling each bar off the plastic gear thing, rotating it and setting it back was a lot of work. Its more work than it should have been. If you only set it up once for your car then everything will go smoothly, but if you have to readjust them for any reason (I put the rack in my trunk) its quite annoying because its so hard to get them off the plastic gear looking thing even after loosening them up a lot. Saris could improve this part. Other than that, attaching the bike was quick and easy. There are 3 straps for securing the bike. Two for the top bar and one for the seat post to prevent the bike from swinging. The straps are coated to protect the bike, but I'll most likely get some additional sponge or something for added protection. I also used a 24" bungee cord to wrap around the rim of the front tire to prevent the fork from moving while driving.

This rack fits verify firmly on the trunk and I do find that I can open my trunk with the rack attached. I've driven on the highway and down some bumpy roads at 40 mph 70 mph and didn't observe any problems. For added security I plan to use another bungee to keep the front of the bike attached to the rack (just too paranoid, I paid thousands for the bike); the back is already connected twice due to the design of the rack. So what has become of the bumper protector? Its still sitting on my bumper and looks nice but right now it does nothing since the rack doesn't rest on the bumper at all. If I had the bones 2 or 3 then I'm sure that it would have been very helpful. If you have one of those racks or plan to get one or a similar kind you may want to checkout a bumper protector as it puts a hard surface between the rack and the bumper to help distribute the weight and should be 100% effective against scratches (I did a lot of research). If you have the Bones RS then you should be fine. The metal hooks at the bottom of the rack do not come in contact with the bumper. In my case, the two rubber feet happen to sit on the metal part of the trunk of my car, so surely no scratches there. Once attached, rocking the rack from side to side moves the car instead of the rack so side straps are not needed. So far I'm happy with this rack. However, I'll update this review should I find anything more.

After watching the video and reading the instructions, I had to spend a few minutes playing with it to see exactly how to release the straps and raise the support bars.

Now I can put it on the vehicle or remove it in 2 minutes tops.

I like the fact that the rubber feet rest on the metal part of my Forester's rear hatch and not on the glass like so may other trunk-mounting racks.

It holds the bike frames rock solid, but you will need a bungy cord or something to keep the bikes front tire from swaying.

I was hesitant to pay so much for a rack, but the convenience is worth it. I can drive to the bike trail, take off the bike, then unhook the Bones RS and just stick it in the trunk.

Another nice thing is the ratcheting/locking rubber coated steel straps do not require you to pull over and re-tighten every hour on a long trip.
