Wheel Master Pyramid Axle Set, without Dust Cap - RR 3/8 x 26 x 126 Review
the item is exactly as depicted; the caps that sit on the cones were smaller than my original size, but were easy to slide off and on

Sram XG-1090 X-Dome Red Cassette Reviews
What can I say...Super light, very quiet & fast shifting and it is made out of meterial thats made to last. and got my Fuji under 16lbs :)
With that said, when I first received this cassette it arrived in the correct box and was sealed as if it came from the factory. I was about to take it to my bike shop for installation, but decided to open the box to take a look first. To my surprise, there was a SRAM PG1070 cassette in the SRAM XG1090 box! The XG costs about $200 more than the PG, so as one might imagine I was quite upset. I called Amazon and they took care of it very quickly, so no long term complaints, but it just goes to show that you can't always trust the box that your product gets delivered in.

Great cassette for Triathletes. Very light and a good product for TT bikes. Sram red technology is almost the top.Best Deals for Sram XG-1090 X-Dome Red Cassette
First let me say that this RED cassette is absolutely excellent. I upgraded from a stock cassette, and the difference in ride performance was like night and day.With that said, when I first received this cassette it arrived in the correct box and was sealed as if it came from the factory.

Great delivery and wait until you get it off the box. It is also super quiet... You need to experience it, if you need to upgrade, you won't regret getting this one. PS. Works well with SRAM RIVAL.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Sram XG-1090 X-Dome Red Cassette
There is nothing better than this cassette for your SRAM setup. I have full 2010 SRAM red grouppo and needed to upgrade the cassette. This 2012 SRAM red works flawlessly with the older set and makes it much quieter to shift. This is incredibly light too. You won't believe how light it is when you pick it up out of the box. Fantastic craftsmanship, not cheap, but excellent upgrade if you need a new cassette.Saturday, May 24, 2014
Discount Park Tool DS-1 Digital Scale
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $66.95
Sale Price: $59.95
Today's Bonus: 10% Off

The scale was a bit pricey but Park puts out quality stuff so I know I will get my $$$$ out of it for many years. I needed a way to weigh a few bikes and parts and was going on a vacation with my wife where we planned on bringing back a lot of rum. I needed to weigh suitcases and that was enough of an excuse for me to justify the expense besides being a weight weenie. Weight is consistent over and over so far and I like that i can hang it from my rack to use it. I hang it off my jeep's hitch rack on rides to let people see that their $500 MTB bike doesn't weigh 21-lbs. That alone also made it worth the money. I would buy again, and have no problems with any of the Park products I own. I use it far more often than I thought I would. I weigh everything I can with it. Lets just say the cats went on a diet after getting this scale.
The scale works reasonably well. It is easy to install on my bike stand, which is not made by Park Tools.
Drawbacks:
1) If your bike had a sloping top tube, it is hard to hang it from the scale, using the hooks.
The bike slides a bit, in spite of the "non-slip" sheathing on the hooks from which you hang the bike, when you weigh.
2) I bought this item under the assumption that "Park Tools, USA" meant that the item would be made in the USA, like some of the other "Park Tool, USA" items that I own.
Apparently, that is no longer the case! I believe this clearly reflected in the quality of the scale. I had to return the first one I got because the display was faulty -would not display all digits. For instance, it would read " 7lb 05oz" instead of "37lb 05oz".
3) For a $50+ scale, I would expect the manufacturer would include the necessary batteries. Apparently, that is too much to ask!

Nice display to read the weight and easy to press buttons. Not much you can say about this scale, it does the job it's suppose to do. Only thing I don't like about it is that it captures the weight quickly. If the bike is hanging of the hooks and swinging it can cause a slight fluctuation in weight as it swings side to side, I feel the scale doesn't allow enough time for the weight to settle to capture the measurement and can therefore give a reading that's slightly off, but not by much.Honest reviews on Park Tool DS-1 Digital Scale
Bought a new light weight mountain bike and wanted to see how much it weighs with the pedals and seat I replaced (see other reviews). Turns out the bike is as light as they say. You have to find the balance point of the bike and then in a second you have the weight. It gives repeatable values so I feel confident it is accurate.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Park Tool DS-1 Digital Scale
I ordered this scale so I would have a better idea of weight savings when swapping components. It's nice to know the weight differences when going tubeless or doing other upgrades. I hang it from my garage cieling, as I usually have a bike in the stand. It works well, and I do not have any complaints. As others have mentioned, the bike might try to lean one way or slip, but if you hang it from the seat I have not had any issues. Overall a good buy.Wednesday, May 21, 2014
Reviews of Topeak DeFender M1 & M2 Mountain Bike Fender Set (26-Inch Wheels)
I bought two sets of these, one for my bike and one for the wife's bike. Assembly took a total of less than 10 minutes, including adjusting the rear fender for optimal position.
The flared ends really catch a lot of water and crap that many other fenders might miss. The ends are made from a soft rubberized transparent plastic, which is also pretty cool, they toss small gravel, rocks, water and mud aside pretty efficiently. Assembly and adjustment is performed with a hex wrench, but once you get them on, they stay in place. My previous fender required constant re-adjustment, so it's nice to see someone get the design right.
I ride a 2010 P1 jump bike I also use as a commuter. I picked these up to keep from getting splashed when riding conditions are wet. they are easily removed when I go out to the skate park, hit The jumps, or shred urban (though I leave them on for urban assault when its wet out). I swap them from my P1 to my Rat Rod (which is fenderless) when the wife and I go cruising together after it rains. Though I have not actually tried other products like this I have to say I believe they are amongst the best if not THE best I have seen.

Honest reviews on Topeak DeFender M1 & M2 Mountain Bike Fender Set (26-Inch Wheels)
Product looks great. rear fender fits and works great. one downside i found was the quick release collar for the seat post. it works great, but at the same time it will work great being removed by anybody else if you keep your bike locked up. front fender does not fit the fork i currently have, but i had planned to install a new one before i bought the product, so it's not a problem for me. a front brake mounted alternative would be very nice. although the fork i'm planning on has no bosses for brakes other than disc.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Topeak DeFender M1 & M2 Mountain Bike Fender Set (26-Inch Wheels)
This set of fenders are easily mounted. The front fender comes w/ a removable outer wedge to use on smaller whole opening under the front fork and the rear fender is adjustable. No instructions needed if you're a handy type of person.Well worth the extra money than the cheaper fenders that can become warped in shipping. Sturdy, built to last and not flimsy.Saturday, December 7, 2013

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.

These are good tubes with a nice long valve. I probably didn't need the full 80mm since my rims are only 43mm, but I like the way they look.
