I just love the blue and it is very awesome. Remember to use zip tags to secure the light to your wheel otherwise, you will be very upset that it falls off and lost the same day but this is really cool on my bike. Will buy it again.

Review of 2 Bike Bicycle Cycle Cycling Tyre Wheel Spoke LED Blue Light Lamp 3
These spoke lights are terrific for visibility. They have multiple light functions, so it's not just a steady light going around in circles when you cycle. The strobe makes for terrific visibility, especially around dusk. Easy to install, easy to use, and lightweight, so there is no extra rotational weight, for those concerned about rotational grams slowing them down.

Review of Shimano Altus Mountain Bike Front Derailleur - Multi-Clamp
I replaced my old front derailleur on my Next Wal-Mart brand mountain bike. Now my bike shifts great. Smooth, immediate, and quiet. Perfect upgrade at a great price for all those department store name brands that have cheap parts . I matched up this product along with the Shimano ST-EF50 Acera EZ Fire Plus 7 Speed Shift and Brake Lever combo with V Brake and the Shimano Tourney RD-TX71 Rear Derailleur w hanger.
Quality is pretty good, easy install, and works just fine.

I purchased a Shimano Altus FD-M311 Front Derailleur so I could use a mountain crankset on my road bike, and the Altus was really cheap, but great quality, and the thing shifts very easy and smooth. The Altus was very easy to install and set up and it worked without flaw. I could of spent a lot more, but why, the thing works great, what a great improvement. It's as functional as the Sora front derailleur I replaced, so if your wanting a very functional front derailleur that won't kill your budget, I'd highly recommend the Altus.Best Deals for Shimano Altus Mountain Bike Front Derailleur - Multi-Clamp

Review of Radio Flyer 79S Big Flyer
List Price: $92.99
Sale Price: $62.99
Today's Bonus: 32% Off
I wanted to replace a tricycle, because our son was wheeling downhill too fast for me and I wanted him on a more stable, less likely to tip over three wheeler. Now four and at 42" tall, he is just big enough to pedal it. He has a bit of a problem going up our slight hills, but I think that will improve as he gets taller. The adjustable seat works well, and overall is well made and easy to assemble. The flag makes him more visable, but I do not let him ride without me along side on my bike anyway. For me, it is the coolest looking Big Wheel out there. With two more adjustments left in the seat, there's plenty of room for him to grow.

My 2 sons needed the big wheel experience. For the education minded parents, they needed the thrill of their heightened imagination as they learned the laws of physics. This toy is perfect in size-1 child is 6y, 46.5 inches and has his seat placed in the last of the three settings with legs fully stretched. His feet arent trying to reach and yet he will still have plenty of room for more growth. I was nervous with the size since the box picture child is younger and the other brands build theirs more for nine year olds or the really tall kids. In stores, he never came close to reaching the others pedals. My 4y old is 44 inches and enjoys the seat at its second setting. He has his knees more bent and gets more leverage and control. The front tires softer red rubber adds the much appreciated extra traction that others neglect. The back are the typical smooth tires, not great for bigger inclines, perfect for big wheel spin outs. The first one took this mom with no power tools 40 minutes to assemble, the second one 20 minutes. Requires hammer, phillips screw driver and a cresent wrench or pliers. I think both is a plus for tightening. Simply achieved for ecstatic children.Best Deals for Radio Flyer 79S Big Flyer
I bought this for my son's 5th birthday and he loves it. I was a little hesitant due to the price versus some of the other "big wheel" bikes but I am so glad I decided on this one. It is very well made and sturdy. I like how easy it is to change the seat positions so my 7 year old daughter can ride it too. My son has mastered how to spin on this and he rides it everyday. I am happy that it has a safety flag on it too, these bikes are so low to the ground it helps cars see him and makes me feel that he is safer than the bikes without flags. I am extremely happy with this purchase and would recommend buying this bike.Honest reviews on Radio Flyer 79S Big Flyer
Extremely well made and durable. Looks cool too. It is great on flat surfaces but it's hard to make it up a hill. Your weight is all on the back so the front wheel spins when you try to climb up slanted surface.Holding up quite well since Santa brought them to two 5 year old boys. Grandma especially likes the tall flags on the back. Since they are low to the ground, this is great for visability.

My 5 year old son received the Big Wheel for his 5th birthday. After returning it once for missing parts I finally got it assembled. He loved it when we gave it to him UNTIL he tried to ride it. My son only weighs 46 lbs and upon sitting on it for the FIRST time the forks holding the front wheel collapsed and the bike folded. It was unusable. This is not the "Big Wheel" of my childhood. They were indestructibe (I tried when I was his age). I don't know how they can use the Big Wheel name. This is a cheap Chinese piece of dung. Target was gracious enough to return it for a full refund.Now for the Radio Flyer. We bought this on Amazon for the same price the stores wanted, but with free shipping and no tax. Assembly wasn't that bad, just follow the pictures (no words). When my son rode it, he was like lightning!!! He loves it and rides it almost every day. He goes fast and turns to spin and laughs crazily. This bike is VERY stable and does not tip over, even at high speeds. It is very durable and actually has some METAL parts, I know, unheard of right?
Buy the "Radio Flyer" if you are even thinking about this kind of toy. You won't regret spending the extra few bucks.

Reviews of Vittoria Corsa Evo CX Tubular Tire
I've had decent luck with this expensive tire. Excellent handling and wear characteristics. I even have two waiting to go on my carbon rims, but I switched to a Tufo tire which doesn't have the deep sew-up ridge which keeps me from using Tufo tape to install the Vittoria. If you don't mind gluing, watch for this tire on sale. Also, the stem can easily be replaced at the surface and fitted with any of three different length valve stems to fit your rim depth. The stems are pricy, and you don't get a choice of which one comes with the tire, so unless you use the "standard" length, you'll end up with an expensive collection of unused stems. I take off a star just because the company doesn't offer a choice of stem length with the tire.

1st time using... flatted with about 9 miles on it. wasn't anything visible, as i was doing hill repeats, and was going up hill, (thank God), and going about 9 MPH.. nothing obvious on the road...Was disappointed to say the least. Seller said he would try to work with me, but yet to hear anything.. $79 for thye tire, $40 to put on... not happy :o(!!!Honest reviews on Vittoria Corsa Evo CX Tubular Tire
These tires are phenomenal. I've raced them in two full Ironman races without issue, and probably have something like 4000mi on the set I am riding. I am 155lb and run them at 120psi every time. In addition to being fast and durable, they are incredibly comfortable. These tires (in tubular form) are the most comfortable road bike tires I've ever ridden, which is pretty amazing considering they are also the fastest and most durable.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Vittoria Corsa Evo CX Tubular Tire
Excellent tire. Tire/wheel radii is not even; valve stem area. Valve stem threads were coated with teflon sealer. Leaks down to 110 psi from 150 psi in about 4 hours, not good (latex). Grips good even in rain and comfortable at 150 psi on carbon fiber frame. I am generally satisfied.Friday, March 7, 2014
Cheap WTB Frequency TCS i23 Rim 32 hole Black
List Price: $75.00
Sale Price: $67.95
Today's Bonus: 9% Off
I wanted a wider rim to replace my Mavic ST Lefty front wheel. It just had to be about the same weight and tubeless compatible.
The wheel was built with a Cannondale Lefty hub, DT Swiss Super Comp spokes, DT Swiss alloy nips, and the I23 rim. It came in at 780 grams with my old Mavic ST coming in at 760 gr.
This thing set up stupid easy tubeless with the WTB TCS (Stan's rebranding) rim tape. I put a Schwalbe Hans Damph on with no issues airing up.
The rim rides well for me. It's rails the turns better than my Mavic. I know that the whole wheel build matters, not just the rim. However, it's a good part of it.

Nice bicycle, really strong construction, comes almost completely assembled only to put on the handle, front wheel, seat and training wheels. Looks very nice. But it said that it comes with three brakes, but it only comes with two, rear caliper brakes and the coaster brakes. No front caliper brakes as advertised. But it is still worth the cost and really will last for a very long time.dont forget if you are buying a bike online you will have to put it together yourself. my little girl did not like waiting for me to build it. think we will go to the store next time.

Buy Tour Hockey ETX 550 Inline Hockey Skate
We purchased these for our 13 yo son. He has given them a beating wearing them on concrete and inside the skate park. They have held up very well and even the wheels are still in good shape. We will put upgraded wheels and bearings when he does wear them out, but it's not necessary. He will outgrow these before they wear out.
The first day I used them, the skates were firm and felt like they had good ankle support. Even though I ordered down a size, the skates felt a little big. When skating on the street, I had some difficulty. There's no stopper and I truly felt out of control. I crashed into a few cars and walls to slow myself down. I had a quick 10 minute session, then called it quits.
A few days later, I went out to a smooth top roller rink. I practiced some cross overs and within 25 minutes, I was skating backwards. As it happened, a roller hockey league game was scheduled and the team was short a player. They asked me to play in the game, even though I said it was my 2nd time on inline skates. These skates held up very well.
I played for over an hour, my feet felt very comfortable and I had no blisters or discomfort afterward. I definitely recommend wearing a good athletic sock, Nike Dri-Fit work great.
Overall I'm very pleased with the skate. I know it lacks a lot of features of other skates, like reinforced padding, but for a beginner looking to get started with inline hockey, you can't beat this price.

The Tour Hockey ETX 550 Inline Hockey Skate was well priced for my first pair of inline skates. I used to play ice hockey, but it's been over 10 years since I last ice skated.

I bought this product to replace my old skates that I have had for about 10 years. I decided on these because they looked like ice hockey skates and the reviews were decent. But after one use, I went back to my old skates. They fit well (order a size down from your normal shoe size) and the inside is decently comfortable. Unfortunately, there is nothing else positive to say about these skates. The material of the boot is rigid but has some flex to it which caused the boot to rotate while trying to cross over and putting an uncomfortable stress on my foot. My biggest complaint is that the boot is in the shape of an L. Therefore, it alters your normal skating mechanics because all of your weight is constantly on your heels. When i laced up to the second to last eyelet, I was able to feel like i could skate somewhat normally but lost all stability because the skate was wobbling on my foot. I have played street hockey for 10+ years and ice hockey for a couple years and these skates are awful. I wouldn't even recommend them for a beginner, which is who I think the skate is geared toward. Not worth the money.Saturday, November 2, 2013
Review of SKS SILVER B53 Fender Set for Folding/Recumbant Bike, 20-Inch
FYI, these are silver not Black as shown. I ordered and exchanged twice. All items we received in silver. Pretty disappointing especially after talking to amazon about it to ensure I got my exchange in BLACK.

Amazon's fault, not the product itself. I don't have any complaint about the actual product, other than the fact that it is not the same color as pictured. They don't say anything about color, and then you order it and it shows up silver.
