Bought the trike for my son. He is unable to ride a 2 wheel bike. He told me that he was very happy with the trike. It seems easy for him to ride. The steering took a little time to get used to but he does fine on it now. The 'tools' that came with trike where cheap but I was not buying the tools. It was fairly easy to build, less than hour for me but I have build bikes before. I would add a red flag to this bike for it sits low and I did. I would tell any person looking at this trike that for a special needs child that is the bike for them.

Ultegra FC-6600G 10-Speed Chainring Review

Customer Ratings:

A couple of years ago one of the teeth on the chainring that came with my bike split in half. I replaced it with a FSA chainring that lasted for about 500 miles before 3 teeth broke off. Since all the other components on the bike are Shimano Ultegra I decided to go with something I'd have good experience with. This chainring now has 300 miles on it and hasn't had any issues.

It is about the only brand and size of tire I can find for my vintage 1975 Honda CB 360T (not many choices out there), good price and I am fairly happy with it, except it lasts a mere 8,000 miles of normal, not wild, city riding on this motorcycle.

Last September my Plymouth Van died that is when I purchased a 1980 Kawasaki KZ-440B1 to ride. Upon taking possession of this motorcycle I noted what was on it for rubber and both front and rear were GS-11's by IRC. At first I checked locally at all the motorcycle shops and tire stores everyone carried tubeless but none of the tube type persuasion for a Kawasaki KZ-440B1. That is when I looked online and found this tire listed on Amazon.

Since I lacked spin balance equipment I had the local Kawasaki Honda shop do the work for me. The bike tracks through turns like a dream. A great tire made for and by great people like you and I. I plan to get a few backups for the future. I hope IRC keeps building these for folks like myself.

Review of Shimano SF-MX30 DX Single Freewheel 16T x 3/32" Single Black

Customer Ratings:

This thing just works. The quality is there, it ratchets almost silently, and easily lasts a couple of years. After that, it's only a $20 replacement. There are more expensive models which can be serviced, but I think this still work s out cheaper.

Definitely recommend for a single speed.

Update: I initially rated 5 stars, but decided to move it down to four after cold weather problems. These were not problems because of dirt or anything like that, but because of a design flaw. When I tried to ride my bike in the winter, I started to get skipping problems around -5*C (23F), and at -10*C (14F) I could spin the cranks all day, and they would not catch once. When I brought the bike inside, within a minute it was back to normal.

So, either the grease inside becomes viscous at cold temperatures, or the steel ratchets loose their springiness (less likely). Or maybe the bike shop that installed it for me put a viscous grease inside before I could say anything.

So, I would be cautious about this if you ride in cold weather (below freezing). Works absolutely fine above freezing though and it's a bargain too.

I've had this on my single speed road bike for a few months now and it has run smoothly.

I don't have a ton of experience with other freewheels but this one seems to be well made. I have put several hundred miles on it and have had no problems. It runs smooth and quiet.

This product does what it's supposed to do. Used it on a single speed bike and it works great as far as I can tell. The threads need to accept Shimano freewheel.

Wanted to put in a positive review as I love my bike! Hey ya need to know how to adjust it to make it right (handle bars, etc), but the instructions go over all of that. The one I received arrived fast and had no missing or damaged/misaligned parts. Took me 15 min to put it togther. The bike rides super smooth, the suspension really does something, and all the gears work smooth. Nice handle bars and nice scale to all the parts. Not much else to a bike to write about. Way better/smoother than the Mongoose bike it replaced (A DH 1.5, that one was a real POS, but didn't know that till I got this one). Just keep everything lubricated and should last a long while.

Don't expect a $2000 Mongoose bike that we all love. If you pay $400 or above for a bike what you get is awesome, but if you pay less than that beware that the drive-train and shift components are sub standard. The bike that I ordered did not work well. The front derailleur would only shift if you took your other hand and wiggled the derailleur while you were shifting. The rear derailleur was noisy. The chain skipped like it was 10 years old. I did not want to bother with returning the bike so I just replaced all of the components mentioned above and everything works fine now... trust me.. spend a little more....

Please don't get me wrong... Mongoose (Owned by Pacific Cycle) is an AWESOME company (They definitely have good products for the price). They just can not make a bike for less than $400 and turn a good profit... it's pressure from the consumer to keep lowering the price (Yes I am guilty of that as well :)). The consumer should expect to pay a little more to get a superior product.

The bike is fine if you plan to change out a couple of parts... Overall the price will still be fair and the bike will work OK after the modifications. Or you could just spend a little more up front...

I bought this bike as a Christmas present for my grandson. It arrived on time. We assembled the bike and found that a rear derailleur element was bent. Not being sure how to proceed, and not wishing to return it the day before Christmas, I took it to a local bike shop, where the problem was diagnosed and fixed. They also found that the front brake caliper was installed backwards (it arrived that way). The bike shop staff told me that "boxed bikes" frequently arrived damaged. They charged me $25 for the repair -well worth avoiding the hassle of return and re-assembling another (possibly damaged) bike. Live and learn.

Nothing extremely fancy but the bike is exactly what was described by the seller and I look forward to using it daily. The gears are a little iffy when you are in the higher levels but that may just be from the self assembling when I put it together.

Just received it so time will tell. Ordered it Saturday night and got in Monday. Took some time to get the brakes and shifts adjusted (especially the front railer). User book has a lot of info in it. Did I say the user book has a lot of info in it? Several brake types, training wheels, etc. Looks like a generic book for several bikes and set ups. This of course means you have to look at the very small pictures and choose what you need.

Reviews of Tommaso Monza Road Bike (Sport Alu)

Went looking for a Road Bike and looked at all the usual ones. Trek, Giant, Diamondback etc. looked at all the available options and the relative pricing. Came across the Tommaso one day while riding my Mountain bike in a near by golf course where a bunch of people usually ride in groups. Liked the look of the bike but didn't know much about it. Did a google search and saw that the company has been around since 1985 and was recently sold to a private firm. Looked up the website and saw that they sell there as well as through Amazon. Looked at there offerings and fell in love with the Monza. The components are very decent in a entry level bike and the price was right. Decided to "shoot" and purchased the bike through amazon. All I can say is "WOW" what a bike! I just picked it up from my LBS where they built and adjusted it for me. When I got home I decided to take it for its inaugural run. I am totally impressed. The bike not only looks good. But rides and handles awesome. I highly recommend this bike to anyone who wants to get into biking and like me, wants to stand out from the usual crowd with the other names I mentioned above. BTW. If you buy from Giantnerd.com there is no shipping vs. Amazon charges $50.00! WTF!! That's the only downside from ordering here. BUT I called Giantnerd and they were nice enough to refund the 50 bucks! Great customer service guys!

Review of Allen Sports Deluxe 3-Bike Spare Tire Mount Rack

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $119.99
Sale Price: $62.46
Today's Bonus: 48% Off

I searched all over the internet to find the perfect bike mount for my Jeep. I wanted a light, easy to use bike mount that I can easily put away in the back of the Jeep when not in use. The allen bike rack met the criteria.

The only problem I had was the poor shipping for the rack but I am not rating the rack based on the shipping. When it shipped it was in its original packaging and when it arrived home the box was all beat up and it was open. No manual inside except the rack. I was not to sure if anything else came with it. I downloaded the manual from the web. According to the manual I had everything I needed to use the rack.

After learning to mount the rack on the spare tire you can easily put it on in less than 5 minutes. Once it is mounted it feels really strong. It seems like it may not hold much but it really can hold much. When not in use you can take it off faster than you can put it on.

What I really like about this rack that I did not like on others is:

-I can swing my gate open with the bikes in place

-Super easy to mount/unmount

-My hitch is free for other uses

-Price

-Very light weight

What I don't like:

-The part that rests on the wheel/rim is not covered with rubber or anything. A wrapped cotton towel took care of the problem but it does not look pretty

-Bikes can be a little too close and bang to each other if using 3 bikes. I have only 2 and use the first and third mount and I have not problems.

I have a 2003 CR-V and this carrier works great. I initially thought I would have some problems with the lower anchors but managed to find two places to hook them. I put two adult bikes and a kids bike on it and they stayed secure for a 30 minute trip with highway speeds. The carrier itself takes less than five minutes to install and folds up to fit in a closet when not in use.

The rack composition is lite-weight and easy to install. Some of the rubber components are flimsy (they fell off right away) and the straps that hold the bike in a locked position are NOT to be trusted. The strap broke before I even took off with the bikes on the road.

The straps to tie down to the spare tire are not long enough and you NEED alternate method of securing the rack to the tire. Go to Wal Mart and by tie-downs with hooks.

Make sure you put a pad on the bottom rung of the rack otherwise it will rub and scratch your tire.

The rack is ok for the price. I took it on a 600 mile highway speed ride. As long as you buy those extra straps and tie the bike to the rack with line and secure it....you will be ok.

Hope it helps.

Honest reviews on Allen Sports Deluxe 3-Bike Spare Tire Mount Rack

I bought this bike carrier and overall I like it. It's very easy to put on and take off and holds the bike easily enough. The stirrups that hold the bike are on the small side, so if you have a bike with a frame that's wider in diameter, like a mountain bike, you will have to buy a tension bar for it. Also, it doesn't come with any padding on the lower part that rests on the spare, so it has put some scratches on my wheel. Also, the top part that goes behind the tire should be more padded. It's taken off my paint in that area. Just be sure to rest it on some padding or try to position it so it's not touching paint.

I was nervous about 2 things before I bought this bike rack. 1. I own a 2005 CRV and I was told I couldn't buy a bike rack for it. 2. Everyone was writing about how lousy the packaging was for this product. I live in a very rural area and if a box was going to get busted up it was surely going to happen coming to my house.

Well, I they were wrong on BOTH counts! I love this bike rack! I can put it on all by myself(no man or engineer needed)! It fits perfectly. My bike is safe and secure. It does not hang out beyond the edge of the vehicle. Do not hesitate buying this if you own a Honda CRV. Also, the box was in perfect condition when delivered.
