Discount Pearl iZUMi Attack Sock 3-Pack

Pearl iZUMi Attack Sock 3-Pack,White,X-Large
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars
Buy Now
I wear these to run/cycle in and to work as breathable socks.

They are fantastically breathable and comfortable. Compared to mass produced cotton socks, I've never thought my feet were too hot or too moist no matter my footwear (I wear composite safety toe work boots). The height is adequate for my applications in running and cycling, and since they are not specific to being boot socks I can't really penalize them for not being quite tall enough. The stitching is virtually impossible to feel across the toes, at the ankle, or around the Achilles.

I expected nothing less than fantastic from Pearl Izumi and they certainly delivered.

Having logged thousands of mile in my bicycle over many years, I have had opportunity to try many socks for many supliers. Same shoes, different socks.

These are comfortable, durable, washable, and cool. None better, in my opinion.

Best Deals for Pearl iZUMi Attack Sock 3-Pack

Pearl iZUMi, as most cyclist already know, has been in the game for a long, long time. This experience shows in the Attack socks. They have an excellent fit and are slighly taller than the original. They are not, however, as tall as the currently popular style of "park-freeride-downhill type" socks that go to the base of the calfalmost like a tube sock... I remember the original Pearl iZUMi socks I wore growing up in the '80's... now those were very short, just bearly over the ankle bone... I also welcome the black verses the old white color onlyI mountain bike and do alot of trail work, so the black is much better for not showing the dirt and grime of these activities. Because they are so close fitting and stretchy I don't expect them to last much more than a season, but if they do, great, bonus. For a great fitting riding sock from a core Colorado cycling company, these are deliveringand if they last into fall, they will get the last star!

Honest reviews on Pearl iZUMi Attack Sock 3-Pack

Overall, I like the socks. However, I purchased a size XL based on manufacturer's sizing chart. However, the XL is a little too large for my feet (I wear a size 11 US). If you wear anything smaller than a size 11.5 US shoe, I recommend buying a size L instead.

I bought this to help for my cycling. It's great. Then I started to use it to run. My shoe size is 7.5D. And these fit me really well. I'm going for a second order.

I haven't used this yet. But the 50mm extender (2 inches) seems to be solid.

Based on the description, this product is sold in pairs. I was expecting 2 valve extenders, but only received 1.

so a bit dissapointed.

I screwed it on and filled my tube with air. I think I need a little teflon tape to keep it snug on the valve. Also smart to make sure the valve is screwed open very snug. Don't want to NOT be able to put air in.

Good quality, works, any problem would be with the user. Ask a bikeshop if you don't know how. Use teflon tape and wrap several times around the threads.

Fuzion LandShark 4-Wheel Kneeboard Reviews

Fuzion LandShark 4-Wheel Kneeboard
Customer Ratings: 4 stars
Buy Now
I have played around with these kneeboards for HOURS. They have almost no learning curve and are easy to hop on and scoot around. I cannot WAIT until I've got enough money to get one for myself. They are not entirely dangerous if you actually use your brain, unlike the parents who wrote the 1 star reviews.

You should not be riding this on the sidewalk. You should be riding it on nice, flat ground like a safe road or parking lot. If you hit a gap in the sidewalk on a skateboard going at a high speed you WILL fly off. If you hit a gap on this, do you expect to magically stay in place? No, you will fall off and because you are closer to the ground you will hit your face.

That being said, if you play on this for a while, you will fall off of it. Most likely you'll be taking a hard turn really fast and you'll fling yourself off the side of it (which, if I may say so myself, is HILARIOUS). You take that risk with ANY human powered riding toy. If your kid hits a wall on his skateboard, do you file a complaint with the company who made the deck? No, you tell your kid to watch out next time so they don't get hurt.

Use your brain before you complain.

My 11-year old son is very athletic, coordinated and has all of these riding "toys." After 1 week he has 9 stitches above his eye, a chipped tooth, and now has braces on his top teeth in hopes of correcting the damage from the land shark. Every child, and adult, that has been on it in our neighborhood has taken a spill...his was by far the worst. He was not going that fast or on a hill at the time. It is simply unstable and imbalanced. I would not recommend it. Not just because of one accident, but because everyone that has gotten on our land shark has crashed to some degree. We will be filing an official complaint with Fuzion.

Best Deals for Fuzion LandShark 4-Wheel Kneeboard

We bought the landshark for my son when he was 7. We have had it for 2 years now, and as the kids get older, they have more fun with it. The downsides: 1. Kids fight over it. We usually have at least 6 kids over and they all want to use it.

2. We have had a couple of scrapes if the kids brake to hard, turn corners too fast or don't distribute their weight evenly. That is inevitable on any riding toys. make sure the kids are not riding too far forward on the board as their weight will be in the front not in the back and they will be likely to face-plant.

Honest reviews on Fuzion LandShark 4-Wheel Kneeboard

All three of our children, ages 6-13, love the LandShark. We live in a neighborhood with lots of children who line up to ride it. It is so great to have an outdoor toy that everyone is eager to use.

Landshark is a great product! The real problem is that we only have two of them. With respect to the one negative review, I have a 9, 11 and thirteen year old and the whole neighborhood hangs out at our house to ride these things. We have had a few minor scrapes, but nothing really. Landshark is THE most popular "toy" where we live. I really should get a couple more.

I purchased this item as a cheap fix for one of my sons practice BMX Race bikes, my other option would have been a $400 rear wheel assembly. It seems to work good for the money however it is a bit noisy, not a big deal in our case but something you should consider if replacing your oem freewheel.

Product came a few days early which was good. Came packaged really well with bubble wrap and extra boxes for the smaller parts for the fork. Looks really well as far as the finish, really good on paint and clear coat. Some minor white blemishes on the right chain-stay, but not too bad or noticeable. The seat post clamp does't tighten all the way so I'm assuming a longer screw for the clamp is needed. which is why I rated 4/5 stars. I also checked out the bottom bracket area, and it looks really clean. It isn't painted on the inside, which is good, that way a bottom bracket is able to fit right in. I also did a test fitment on some 700c wheels, they are a little snug but also fits in. The rear was good, but has no room for chain-tensioners. Can't complain for the service and overall quality of the product for the price. I feel confident about this being my first build.

There are a lot of pros and cons to this bike set. And this is a long review

For the budget i was on for my build this was the frame that i liked. I couldn't afford a LEADER or an unknown LV1 or a jamis sonic but this frame looks exactly the same. As a matter of fact the guy at the LBS asked me if it was a leader.

So the looks gets a 5/5

The dimensions on the bike are a little weird , the top tube is slanted more than my commuter was and also the bb sits pretty low ( i bought the largest size frame) my crank arms are a 170mm so that could be the problem but so far i haven't experienced any scrapping. Just keep in mind that 165mm cranks would prolly be a better choice

Weight is roughly 6lbs for the frame another whopping 2lbs for the fork ..if your like me and expected this to be light (which my commuter was a hi ten steel so this is insanely light in comparison) don't be fooled and get a carbon fork just to keep the weight down.

Now the big reason i gave this 4/5 wasnt because of the little over spray on the BBC threads and it wasn't because the unusual dimensions it was the PITA seat post.

First of all i don't care how much you spend on your frame set you expect to get correct parts right?. Well the seat post DOES NOT FIT. It is maybe .05-.15 mm off that doesn't sound like alot but trust me if you tried to tighten it normally the post will slip and slip and slip. The bolt they give you for the clamp is not only to short but doesn't tighten anything for the simple fact that its to short. I tried for two , TWO whole hours trying to wedge that mf'r tight enough to keep it at the height i needed but couldn't get it. I tried to tape the post itself and trust me that's a waste of time because as the post slips it pulls the tape up and off.

But i have good news i found a fix for it ....... Teflon/medical tape either or. Just put tape in the down tube and tighten that clamp as much as possible and you should be fine.

The whole problem with that is though , you shouldn't have to fix anything. The bike should come with the correct parts , period.

But aside from that shipping was quick for standard shipping , the bike looks great and is much quicker feeling than your average hi ten road bike so for the price i cant do much complaining . however if i did have an extra 150 dollars i would have gotten the name brand although i like the debadged look

Most of the reviews says that the clamp is loose. Is it that the seat post is the wrong size? If so, what size should I get? Or should I just get another 27.2mm seat post?

I may have read the description a little quickly, but I thought when they said "aero" they meant is was aerodynamic. They dont. They mean is has extra material if you have AERO bars on your bike. So if you have a tri-bike with aero bars, 5 stars. If you have a bike without aero bars, like I do, then you have this stupid extra flap of material. I make do with it by tucking it back inside towards the bike, and you cant tell unless you get about a foot away, but do note: this is a five star item for bikes with AERO BARS.

Description could have been a little better, but Im really happy with the design and construction.

I just recently purchased this item and have only had one chance to use it.

I was easy enough to place on the bike, however the way it straps and attaches to cover the front fork is not ideal with my bike rack. I have a Thule setup I purchase with my VW from the dealer and it's not the same set up as shown in the photograph, but workable.

The instructions say to strap things down tightly but if you have a smaller bike it's impossible to do so but it stayed on traveling at 70mph and I was very pleased to not find and bugs or debris on the bike when the cover was removed.

I would most definitey recommend this item to anyone with roof racks.

I've been having a hard time with short Presta valves and extension valves, it's just way more convenient with these tubes. I ride 58mm Carbon Clincher from American Classic and the 80mm Presta's fits perfectly. Whether I gonna get more flats or not I don't know yet, but I hardly doubt it, it's the tire that typically determent that.
