These pedals work exactly as you would expect from Shimano Dura Ace. I have used the ultegra level pedals for nearly 10 years and never had a complaint. I wanted to dress my new bike up with a new set of pedals, and the look of these are perfect! The large, low profile platform does a great job distributing the pressure on your shoe. They feel very secure on the cleat when snapping in and during the release. The package includes a yellow set of cleats (floating, vs the red fixed style). I find these cleats to work very well and are relatively inexpensive to replace when they get worn. They are extremely light and on par with most other carbon pedals on the market. Installation is very easy and simply requires an 8mm hex tool instead of a spanner wrench. They are very expensive, but if you appreciate high quality and performance, you can't get much better than the new 7900 series pedals.

The pedals come with one set of cleats. Extremely stable platform, I like the tight fit when engaged. Very light. Nothing negative at all, very easy to install and adjust. The release tension goes from stiff to very stiff, so perhaps not for the lighest riders or those with exit concerns. Entry is single sided but very easy since the pedals hang appropriately. Combined weight of carbon pedals plus cleats is basically as light or lighter compared to anything from any other manufacturer. Overall highly recommended.

Before the Dura Ace PD-7900, I had been using the PD-7800 pedals, which has an alloy core. The newer PD-7900 pedals have a carbon composite core instead, and thus shaving the weight by 30 gms; the PD-7800 pedals weigh 281 gms, whereas the PD-7900 pedals weigh 251 gms. The pedal platform is basically the same on both pedals. I've always been a huge fan of Shimano's SPD-SL pedal technology and wide pedal base, allowing ease of on-off pedal action and power transfer. A wider base, I feel, provides more comfort because of less pressure on the feet.

It's been a long time since I used another set of pedals other than Shimano DA, so I can't give a fair comparison with another brand. However, when I first tried the PD-7800 I was impressed with the performance and comfort of the pedals and convinced that these pedals are suited for me; thus far I'm just as satified with the PD-7900 pedals.

One last note: I price-shopped before making my purchasing on Amazon.com. At the time of purchase, it offered by-far the lowest price compared to other internet sellers, which were mostly selling for over $300. For a set of high-quality Shimano Dura Ace pedals for under $250 is a steal.

Honest reviews on Shimano Dura Ace PD-7900 Road Pedals (Carbon)

This set of shimano pedals is great. I've used them for over 1500 miles already at this point. Used my old 7401's(Look style cleat) for over 20+years and finally decided to get some new ones. Much lighter, easier to clip into as well as out of, also much easier to walk safely with the new style cleat. These pedals kind of disappear which is what an expensive set of pedals should do. You should not have to even think about the pedals and they do this for you very well. The retention adjustment is wide enough to make the beginner to the pro happy. The replaceable stainless contact plate is a fantastic idea. The reason my old 7401's bit the dust was wear to the aluminum pedal body that began to cause squeaking. They would still have been perfectly functional if they had a replaceable contact surface. Bearing quality is the equal of the original pedal, that is to say very good. The older bearings feel better than the new but have 20 years of break in compared to the new and I'm sure the new ones will achieve that level of decreased friction with some time, they are already much improved with a few miles on them. Get some, what are you waiting for? I should have done it years ago.

I replaced my Ultegra SL pedals with these recently to reduce weight. What I've found is that the wider platform is really noticeable when riding. It is more comfortable with less pressure on individual parts of the foot. I didn't buy the Dura-Ace 9000 model because I couldn't determine whether there was much difference in the pedal.

Buy Campagnolo Veloce UD 9-Speed Steel Road Bicycle Cassette

Customer Ratings:

I'm glad I found this item. I would have preferred the Campy Chorus, but that's no longer available anywhere. thanks

Campagnolo equipment has always been an expensive purchase but even the lowest end of the commonly used stuff, Veloce has a reliability that surpasses its competitors in the gearing market. For example, when I lived in Canada the rival S.I.S. system was known as "Sometimes It Shifts" whereas Campagnolo's ergo system was know as "Exceptionally Reliable Gearing Operation". For those looking for replacement sprockets for those wearing out, they are almost unobtainable for 9 speed Veloce. I bought a second Campagnolo compatible cassette shortly after the Veloce, manufactured by "BBB" also via Amazon from "Bike Somewhere" in Florida. At $38 these are less expensive than a single replacement sprocket and one gets nine of them! Also exceptional value.

SKS Raceblade Long Bicycle Fender Set Reviews

For almost a year now, I've been struggling to find REAL fenders that would work on my 2012 Giant Defy 5. The ones made by Giant specifically for the Defy series of bikes only work with 700 X 23C size tires. They rubbed on 700 X 25C tires. And SKS Raceblade Bicycle Fender Set are merely held in place with glorified rubber bands. They didn't last long before starting to fall apart.

Funny now that these work with 700 X 25C tires, as both SKS-Germany & Amazon.com state they will fit ONLY up to 700 X 23C size tires. The ones everyone tells me will work DON'T. And the ones that shouldn't work DO!

There are no written instructions as such. But clear, easy to understand diagrams on the back of the box. It took me about an hour possibly less to install. But then again I'm old with arthritis & no bike stand. Will these work on your particular bike? I can't say for sure...unless you own a 2012 Giant Defy 5. I'll try to post a few photos.

They fit snuggly & no rattles except when going over the biggest pothole, which I missed due to lack of attention. Finally FENDERS!

I don't have the eyelets on my road bike for fenders, so these were the best option for me. I picked these up from my local bike shop in Seattle and they were the first ones they'd sold of this new 2012 model. The first set was weird: it wouldn't fit my tires. Took them back and sure enough they were a different fender size, though they said the same size on the box. Tried a new one and it fit perfect. These fenders mount and remove easily (through quick release snaps) and are lightweight. I haven't tried them in really wet conditions, but they appear to have the coverage that I need.

These are probably the best fenders available on the market for bikes with super low clearance in the fender region (SKS does a pretty decent job with all their stuff) BUT .... don't buy these if you have a wheel set with regular bolts (not quick-release skewers) unless you know someone with a TIG welder or a machine shop.

So yeah, I couldn't use these as-is...had to head over to my brother's "shop" so he could Dremel out a circle then drill out a larger hole to fit onto my axels. I guess if you had a welder that would work, too...but drilling it out was fairly easy.

Decent fenders otherwise (if you absolutely need low clearance fenders...if not, I'd definitely get something way better than these) .... just beware that they might require a little more work to get on than you may think!

Honest reviews on SKS Raceblade Long Bicycle Fender Set

These are extremely easy to install and take off once you figure out which connections to use. I wish the instructions were a bit more detailed, but these are pretty straight forward. Should take no more than 5 minutes to install and figure out what to do. I bought a set of Velo Orange 700c Hammered Alloy Fenders and though they were pretty to look at, they were very loud and I had no luck fitting a 25mm tire to it even though the description of the one I ordered says it'd work. Eventually I changed out all my tires to 23mm and still never got the front to work on the Hammered Alloy Fenders. The thing with these SKS Raceblades are plastic, so they are not noisy when there is a lot of vibration of the roads. One of the connection paths I take is very bumpy and this fender set has been pretty quiet. I opted for the long over the regular for the extra coverage. Watching youtube reviews on both, the Long fender set seemed like it was more durable for long term use and the coverage is much better.

I'd recommend this to a friend if they needed fenders.

These were pretty easy to install and keep the rain off really well. I thought they'd be flimsy and hit the wheel going over bumps but they've been great.

Trikke T78CS Bike - Black Review

Customer Ratings:

I ordered a Trikke for my husband off the TV promotion. He was jazzed after seeing the promo. I had read about it a few years ago, and was intrigued. The first one was going to take 6 weeks to be delivered. I saw the same one on Amazon a month later, ordered it, and received it within 5 days. The first one came a week afterward (6 weeks). We love them. We're both over 50, and I'm uncoordinated. I tried rollerblading 15 years ago, but quit after falling and hurting my hip. The Trikke uses a lot of the same movements, uses a lot of different muscles, is fairly portable and is FUN. We just got back from a Trikke ride, and not only do my legs feel good, but I can feel it in my shoulders, arms, hips and abs! Riding again tomorrow.

I saw an Infomercial a couple of months ago and decided to order the T78CS. I did for several reasons, it comes with the poly wheels which makes it easier to learn and once you are going you can order the air wheels kit for $50 and now you have a T78 air which gives you a much smoother ride, especially on rough surfaces. I have ridden the T8 which is almost twice the money as the T78, and I like the T78 better. It has a better folding mechanism and while it is 3 pounds heavier that the T8, that is almost undetectable when you are riding it. I like the non-slip foot pads better on the T78 than the T8. The reason the T8 is more expensive is it is made out of aluminum which is more costly to manufacture than a steel frame.

I ride my T78 about 7-9 miles per day and in two months I have already lost about 12 pounds. It is fun exercise and addicting.

easy to learn to ride. great workout. meet a lot of new people who want to know more about your toy and even enjoy "trying it out". The smaller unit might be a better fit for young people and women for handling. A little less cumbersome getting in and out of a trunk, for instance.

Honest reviews on Trikke T78CS Bike - Black

I love in-line skating and downhill skiing. Skiing is so expensive now that we just don't go too often. Skating is fun but I get a little (a lot) hesitant going downhill. This Trikke thing looked like both but safer and way fun. So after months of looking at all the Trikke videos, I thought, I could do this. I'm 5'4" and 129 lbs and I got the T78cs. I ordered the T78 Air tires at the same time to get a discount and free shipping. It came right away and just needed a little set-up less than 20 minutes. Pump the front tire and get out there and ROLL! It really is like skating and skiing. I love to do tight slalom turns and I love carving on a fairly steep slope. I feel completely safe with the three-point balance, the brakes and my helmet. I'm converting to the T78 Air tires because it's supposed to be even more comfortable and quiet for longer rides. This thing has got me addicted! I haven't lost any weight but my muscles are more toned. It works your legs, arms and upper body. You make it do what you want.

Pros: Safe

Very easy to learn, especially if you skate or ski.

Fast and easy to set up and easy knock down for transporting or carrying.

Lightweight but sturdy, fits in vehicles, even small ones.

Great total body work out

Fun Fun Fun

Cons: A Big Fat Zero

I read an article about these in the paper read the reviews all over the web and everyone raved. So I thought I would give it a try. At first, I was very frustrated. It is challenging to ride when the elevation increases even slightly. Even terrain or slightly downhill it was great. About a week ago I was still pursuing and finally hit what they refer to as the sweet spot. When you are moving up increasing elevation you really use your arms more than they indicate in the video. And its a great workout while being fun. The drawback for me is they recently chip sealed the roads in my subdivision -cant Trikke on gravel.

Sidewalks and flat asphalt are good places to start. Everyone who has tried it has loved it -old, young, etc. For smaller children -you would need the smaller fitting Trikkes but this has been adequate for everyone from 5' to 5'10".

All in all this is very fun and enjoyable I try and make time daily to ride it.

If you want something different to do, incorporate into your exercise routine a Trikke is a good way to go!

db0-3.0 Electric Folding Bike Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I took the db0 for a test drive and immediately liked it, i liked the cool look of the bike as well as the fact that it folds, the bike has three manual speeds and three automatic speeds, the manual speeds are controlled by turning the right handle up and down, much like the throttle of a motorcycle, its a common speed changer used on three speed manual bikes. The auto function is set on the control panel where you can set either one, two or three depending on how much assistance you need, to engage the electric drive you must pedal the bike, there is an auto over ride function which when engaged you dont have to pedal for the electric motor to operate, the dealer showed me how to engage this once but I forgot, its not in the manual, If you set the auto on three, and the manual transmission on the bike is set at three and you are riding level, you can easily get up to 20 MPH with little effort, ive driven downhill like this at 30 MPH, at a full charge i got about 10 miles, not very impressive on the distance scale but it was fine, full charge takes about 4 hours, when the batteries were 3/4 charged a full charge took about 30 minutes, how many total charges the battery takes is beyond me, I guess I will find out, the biggest reason i bought this good looking bike was the portability, I bought two of them and folding them up and putting them in a car or boat to take them out and explore anywhere is the best thing about them, I also bought green tires and thick gel foam seats for them and they look awesome, bottom line is they are very nice, the website says the manufacturer is coming out with a 750W motor and a more powerful battery, the existing unit has a 250W motor and the 750W would be much better, I read the 750W version will also have a standard auto drive function, Im sure with a 750W motor, electric cruising on this bike would be totally effortless! I would wait for that and prefer it way over the 250W motor that i have, the difference in price is well worth it, especially if your looking to spend the money that this bike commands, you get what you pay for isnt that what they say?

The bike arrived within less than a week after my purchase, on Friday afternoon. I charged the battery and took it immediately to a test ride on Venice beach at sunset. It did fit in the trunk of my car, and once found a parking spot, I was pedaling in less than a moment. Fun, effortless better than expected! The bike looks small, but appears to be very well built and sturdy, and is actually pretty comfortable, too, even for me (I am 6 feet tall). And what a head-turner; it is definitely much prettier in person a stylish way to live a little greener. Next week I'll start using it for my commute to work one car less on the road in the morning! Cannot wait for more bike lanes, though. L.A., unfortunately, is still not a bike friendly city.

I purchased the DB0 at a local bike shop at a much higher price, wished i had hold a little longer for Amazon listing on the bike.

Having said that, its still a great bike and i commute it to and fro work of about 25km a day..the battery will last up to 40km on normal road but if you do not pedal on it all the time then its journey will shorten by maybe about 20-30%(batt life last longer if its constantly running/pedaling, dont ask me why), i have also tried to seek for modification if the speed can be increase higher than current 22-24km/h(not 25km/h really) but no bike shop can do that due to the batt is lithium polymor, they claimed its not possible to add extra batt like other lith-ion can.

All in all still a beautiful bike to be on but sucks when another old-looking eletric bike cruises by effortlessly.

At the price its going now, get it if you can afford.

PS: The bike frame is manufactured by Ducati, just FYI.

There are two sizes and I needed the shortest one. It actually wouldn't get as short as advertised and I had to cut 3/4" off to make it fit. Seems to hold guns pretty well. Doesn't hold the barrel end very securely and the guns ratttle a bit. If you use it a lot I would expect the barrel end to rub blue off the barrel.

List Price: $499.00

Today's Bonus: 36% Off

I purchased the Pro Ultimate online 3 weeks ago. Observations: 1) Assembly 80 min. 2) Can be used by adults (250 pound wt. limit); easily adjusted to my 5'5" height. 3) This bike is for flat terrain ONLY and maybe very gentle slopes. 4) NOT for endurance or high fitness riding; there are no gears (picture Fred Flintstone!). However, it does glide well. 5) A great neighborhood cruising-type bike, and perfect for what I wanted it to do: light to moderate exercise AND being able to run the dog alongside for exercise. 6) Disappointment: after less than 3 weeks of riding about 5 miles per week, both back tires had to be replaced. One blew out and was worn down to the "mesh" all along the center zone. The other was almost as bad. Both back tires were of very poor quality. Customer Service gave me a partial credit towards new tires from a local bike shop, but this did not quite cover the whole cost. However, I did not want to hassle with returning the bike, especially since I thought I would get the same awful tires....and I liked the bike itself. Bottom Line: great for cruising on flat terrain, and perfect for exercising both the dog and a middle-aged fairly out-of-shape rider.....excellent stability since you are low to the ground........but you will most likely have to replace the tires.

This bike is obviously for the very casual rider not for any serious rider. Just the fact that it is a fixed gear ratio limits your top speed to somewhere around 3~4 mph. Even with that understanding, this bike is disappointing. With all the riders weight on the rear two wheels, there is virtually no weight on the traction wheel. The result is that the bike can't climb any sort of grade especially if the roadway is at all damp or sandy. The steering mechanism also gives the bike an absurdly large turning radius. These two facts really render the bike useless even for casual riding.

Only complaint I have with the Triton Pro is that even on dry pavement, with an adult, the front drive wheel will lose traction on a 5%+ incline. The weight distribution needs to be slightly increased over the front wheel. Perhaps by mounting the rear axle a couple of inches further back.

Otherwise, a nice little machine easily assembled.

I bought this bike because i need exercise and i have a bad knee. The bike is not fast but it didn't need to be. i just needed to get out of my chair at lunch, and ride. Walking put a lot of strain on my knee because of my weight, but riding seemed like the thing to do. Besides the exercise i'm getting, it's fun. The bike is a little small but it works for me. If i were to do it again, i would buy the 20 inch model.

After hours...days...looking for just the right helmet the Bern Brentwood was my top pick. It's super light, has a removable visor (held in by really strong push buttons), and a built in size adjuster belt-clip type mechanism so it's easy to fit. I'm new to biking, so I was very self-conscious about how I'd look with a helmet (it's new york city, you've can't look lame ;-)). The brentwood looks great, and feels like it covers my ENTIRE head without feeling bulky.

Oh, and if you measure your head and are sort of between sizes, get the one size bigger as the built in adjustment works really well.
