I ordered, and after I got it and partially assembled it, I found that the brackets were too narrow for my Durango roof racks. There was no measurement on the product description with this dimension. I had to file a claim with Amazon, but eventually they refunded my money with shipping costs. Ask them to provide this dimension before ordering.

The bike rack is just okay. We Had a hard time assembling it. It does hold the bikes pretty well

These bike carriers are really great. I mounted them on top of our camper. It makes taking the bikes camping so much easier. The instructions are not detailed, but still very easy to understand. One of the three boxes was missing a part. A quick email to the sender and the part was in the mail and rec'd within a week. Based on that experience, and some of the other comments, I would not rate the quality control of the packaging 5 stars, but the quality and ease of use of the bike carrier is tops.

Average at best. The parts bag had broken and i was missing several items. It does not fit on my rack, I will have to make a few changes to get it to fit on my rack

After multiple hours researching bike racks, I came across this one....it was the perfect thing for what we needed---3 racks for 3 bikes. Most of the other racks I found were either uber expensive for what it is, or came in pairs...what was I going to do with the left over rack?

So, here comes moving day---and we go to assemble the racks on the bars of the car (which are oval), and they don't fit. GREAT--just what you need to find out on the day you move. OK, I could have tried earlier, but, I didn't. Me bad. The 'u-bolts' that hold the bracket to the bar weren't wide enough for the bar. Ended up having to go to REI at the last minute, make practically a mortgage payment for 3 bike racks that WOULD fit, and continue with the move...and these racks ended up next to the dumpster for someone else to figure out for themselves.

These companies need to give you the pertinent information--like the dimensions of everything--it's not that difficult to do. Had I been informed (and, granted, tried these earlier--but still, that wouldn't change the fact that these still wouldn't fit), I might have made a better decision.

All in all, the product is major cheap---I don't see them lasting a long time...and if you have some major investment in your bikes and not something bought from Target or Walmart, then I wouldn't invest in these.

Reviews of Sram I-Motion 3 36H 135mm Freewheel/Disc Hub Shift Lever

Customer Ratings:

I'm happy with the packaging etc. The hub is going to be used in a bike I am in the process of building. I am very disappointed with the description and the product features here are misleading. I assumed the shifter was included with the hub. This is only a $10.00 part, so not a big deal, but now I need to wait longer to get both parts. The information under product features says:

"The ergonomic grip shift lever with a large speed indicator guarantees maximum riding comfort" One would think the shifter would come WITH the hub by this.

So be advised, this is NOT a complete package. You need to buy the shifter, and disc rotor separately.

You do get: Hub, Trim kit, Cog, & snap ring.

Retrospec Bicycles Super Deep-V Wheels with CST Tires (700C x 23) Review

These wheels look good, but are actually very poor:

* When I spun the wheel before putting on the bike, I could feel the bearings grind. Then, when I tried to re-adjust the cones, I found there was no channel in the axle and no lock-washer for proper fine tuning. The cones were stuck and I literally had to re-thread the axle in order to get the bolts and cones off.

* These rims are not sleeved, pinned, or triple walled (unlike the quality rims they're imitating).

* Spoke/nipple holes are just punched/ripped through, not precision ground, leaving ugly shards of metal inside (internal and just cosmetic, but really cheap, ugly and unnecessary).

* Hubs are only painted black, not anodized.

* Spokes are painted black (chips off very easily), not dyed.

* Axles are slightly larger than standard...enough that I had to grind them down to fit in my drop-outs.

CST tires and tubes are the only quality parts on this wheelset.

You want a low priced set of quality deep Vs?...get Origin 8. Yeah, you don't get tires, tubes or cogs but they're way worth the extra effort.

Anyone who gave these a high rating is either someone who just received them and wrote a review before inspecting/using them (a pre-teen mesmerized by the colors?) or someone with low to no standards.

I am highly impressed with these wheels for the value. I am currently converting my 21 speed roadie to a fixie, i wasn't sure if these would fit my bike since it is not a Retrospec but sure enough they fit perfect and look sick. i love the flip flop hub, freewheel when you just want to cruise around and have some fun, or switch it over to fixed for more speed and climbing power. They come with high quality CST tubes and tires, i have only had these wheels for a couple days but have already logged over 100 miles on them with no issues so far on some pretty trashy urban roads. I would definitely recommend these wheels to anybody with a fixie or looking to convert to a fixie.

I purchased the orange wheelset. Overall the product is as described, but some details are lacking.

Packaging: Came in a large box, with a single piece of cardboard separating the two wheels. The outside bolts on each wheel had a flat plastic cover to prevent punching through the box, but the insides did not. Not surprisingly, the bolts punched through the single cardboard sheet and jammed into the spokes. Light scratches on the black paint of the spokes is probably due to this.

Tires and Tubes: No complaints here, seem good quality and properly installed on the rim. Apparently a well known brand but I'm not an expert on them.

Color: Orange paint on rim is mostly glossy and smooth, but there are numerous streaks with the gloss rubbed off, possibly due to packaging, or construction. I checked to see if it was just marks by cleaning the wheels but its definitely some scratched off clear coat. Black paint on spokes is fine, other than scratches from packaging. Based on this I don't think the paint is very durable.

Construction: This is probably the worst aspect of the wheel. On both wheels the Retrospec sticker is used to cover up a large, very noticeable seam running radially on the rim, on both sides. I realize this is how most rims are made, but better quality rims are brazed and sanded smooth, or put together with an insert and much higher tolerances. The seam is a gap in the paint and metal that can be seen from around 4 feet away. If you plan on installing brakes the seam causes a noisy bump each time the pads go over it.

Both wheels spin relatively true, but could use a truing. The hubs spin quietly and the flip flop up was secure and worked well.

These wheels are pretty nice, especially when you consider the price.

The package they came in was completely destroyed, but (miraculously) the wheels were fine! Perfectly true right out of the box, but the cones were a but too tight... Nothing that can't be fixed with 30 seconds of wrenching.

The reason that I rate these 4 stars is because the fixed-gear cog is VERY difficult to remove. I wanted to swap out the 16t cog for a 18t because I live in a very hilly city. The lockring comes off no problem, but the cog seems to be epoxy-Ed on. Not loktite, EPOXY! After trying and failing with my chainwhip (even using a cheater-bar), I tried using the reverse Rotafix method... It took two people, even doing that!

Other than that, I love these wheels! Paint is great (the black spokes make te color really POP), bearings are smooth, and (mine, at least) came true, despite the package being shredded. I'd buy them again, and would recommend them to a friend.

Customer Ratings:

I was an idiot and didnt realize it came with the crank bolts in the box. I have a Cannondale 1FG wih the EBB and this fit perfect. It still creaks and groans like they all do, the double bearing is great for when your really working the cranks up hill or over jumps.
