Cheap Mobo Triton - The Ultimate 3 wheeled Cruiser (16")
I bought the Triton Cruiser to go along with my other beach cruisers, my kid uses it and he loves it. It's easy for him to ride and it seems safer then other beach cruisers because it's stable and low to the ground, I highly recommend the Triton for young children as they'll be able to use it right away.

Exact replacement for my Gary Fisher bike. I had to cut some links off which is to be expected, easy to cut anyway. I would suggest getting a Sram powerlink (master link) instead of using the rivet that Shimano uses. The powerlink is much easier to work with. Happy with this chain, my last one lasted about 1800 hard miles.Best Deals for Shimano CN-HG73 LX 9-Speed Chain, Grey
Replacement chain for my mt bike. Ive been using this for sometime and I would purchase it again. Great product for the money. Thanks.Honest reviews on Shimano CN-HG73 LX 9-Speed Chain, Grey
I needed to replace my chain because the previous owner of the bike let the other chain rust and no matter what I did I could not fix the chain. This replacement chain was so smooth and made a huge difference.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Shimano CN-HG73 LX 9-Speed Chain, Grey
Yup. Put it on and it works. Then I bought one for my other bike and then I bought one for my friend's bike.Tuesday, April 15, 2014
EighthInch Scrambler Track Fixed Gear Frameset (53cm - White) Review
I was leary about purchasing this frame but after a little digging i found out that the company is owned by wheel and sprocket, a very reputable bike company! The frame arrived as described and it in flawless condition! I couldn't ask for more from such an inexpensive frame set. I was definatly surprised to see it comes with a steel headset and seat post. If your looking to build a fixed/single on a budget this is the frame for you!

These tires are great! they were a little tight getting them on the 1 3/8 rims but they run very true and have excellent traction. They have the retro look of the '60s that I was looking for but the ability to put them at a higher pressure for better performance.
HOWEVER, it is mislabeled on this site. They are actually 37-584 in size, which you will have an aneurysm trying to put this on a standard rim.
The inch size marked on these tires is "26 x 1-1/4 1-3/8" They are made for hooked steel rims such as those once used by Schwinn in the 50's & 60's.
The tires themselves are beautiful & would have looked great on my bike, alas.
I would appreciate it if all sellers of 26" (650 size) tires would put the ISO size in their descriptions.
I returned these and bought a pair of Cheng Shin C638 Raised Center Bicycle Tire (Wire Bead, 26" x 1-3/8", Black Wall) in the proper size.
Please note that these tires will NOT fit modern mountain bike 26" rims either, so far as I know.

The description of these tires is not accurate. They are not 650A size (37 x 590) but are 37 x 584. Too small in diameter, in other words, for the rims on my old British bike.The inch size marked on these tires is "26 x 1-1/4 1-3/8" They are made for hooked steel rims such as those once used by Schwinn in the 50's & 60's.

Buy Schwinn Adjustable Kickstand
Got this to replace training wheels on 16" and 20" bikes when the big day came. No problems at all, easy install with a 14mm wrench (to connect to the bike) and Phillips-head screwdriver (to adjust length). Two installs, two happy girls who can now balance and ride their bikes like pros.
The spring-loaded mechanism works fine and seems to hold up well (so far--this isn't a long-term review). The size and length are appropriate for children's bikes. The 16" bike has the adjustment at the shortest length, while the 20" is extended 4 holes (about 30% longer than the small bike). The price is right.
Complaints? The stand could probably be more solid than it is, but it's a little of a blessing in disguise as it's easy for the girls to kick up and down, even barefoot. If there's anything I would change, it's that the stand portion is a bit too vertical (maybe 5 or 10 degrees). The bikes, when stood up, are a little "tippier" than I remember from when I was a kid. By no means a deal breaker.
For training wheel replacement on 16" and larger bikes I would recommend this kickstand.
1. Looked like quality out of the box. (I think the shaft is actually powder-coated, the finish is so nice).
2. Inexpensive.
3. VERY SMOOTH action up and down easy for kids. Some stands require adult-style kicks to make the stand go up. This one doesn't.
The adjustment slots (maybe 20) give you a lot of flexibility but as I said, the 16" bike is the smallest this will go on.
It tilts my daughters Magna bikes at maybe a 10 degree angle from vertical. Not enough to keep it up in a stiff wind outside but enough to keep it from falling and crashing into the cars in the garage.

I only had this kickstand for a couple of weeks, when a small washer fell off. I couldn't see where it came from, but the kickstand arm wouldn't lock when you put it down and if you wern't careful, it would collapse. A week later another small washer fell off and the kickstand wouldn't work at all. I then took the kickstand off of the bike and found that there is a rivet that holds the kickstand arm in place. The washers that fell off had been holding the rivet in place. I was able to do sort of a fix by peening the rivet end over with a hammer. Disappointing to see such poor quality control from Schwinn. Otherwise the kickstand is very rugged.Honest reviews on Schwinn Adjustable Kickstand
Not only was this cheap as all getout, but it fits on any sized adult bike frame. A blind guy or a chimp can install it, w/ basic hand tools.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Schwinn Adjustable Kickstand
Pretty straightforward. We bought this for my son's 16 inch bike (I think the description doesn't include this size of bike but we found it works great) when it was time to ditch the training wheels. The bike stays up (my son, at first, was consitantly checking each morning to see if his STRONG new kickstand kept his bike standing-9 out of 10 times, it had). That's pretty good for the sometimes-windy location we live!
