Discount K-Roo Sports Wooden Balance Bike
This bike came in three parts with a bag of items to put it together with. We were able to put the bike together in under 5 minutes. The wheels are nice and thick for easy balancing. My three year old loves to ride it around and the size of the frame is perfect for her smaller size. I love that it is wooden too. It looks really cool and I think the price is totally reasonable. The seat is wooden as well but comes with a red seat cover that has a little padding. My daughter says it's comfortable. We love it and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a balance bike.My 3 yr old twins love the kroo wooden balance. They prefer if over the smart gear balance bike. The seat is lower so this bike fits small toddlers best. Assembling was very easy and the instructions were clear. Inexpensive, good quality balance bike.

Retrospec Beta Series Single Speed with Flip Flop Hub Review
[EDITTED OCTOBER 9TH]
I love riding fixie and I love the look of the bike. It's super light and fast, and attracts lots of attention. Awesome! But...
When I received the bike, the front fork didn't fit. I took pictures and emailed Retrospec requesting a new fork.
The response was:
"It looks like this got slightly bent during shipping. A bike shop can fix this very easily. You may want to take it in to one. Let us know if this solves the problem."
So I guess they wanted me to spend money my money fixing their problem?
Anyways, I took it to my college bike shop were we can work on our own bikes for free. Under the recommendation and consensus of the local bike experts, I filed down the part was wasn't fitting. I thought it was fixed (so I emailed them back and said "fixed!"
The bike never would stay upright when I took my hands off the handle bars. It took me awhile to realize that it wasn't me I had some friends try it out. I could lean way far to one side to compensate, but it would only work for a few seconds before it would lean over way too far. I don't know what caused it, but it probably had something to do with the steering column.
Furthermore, the tires that came on it were so cheap that within a month of very short rides they were already falling apart.
All of this together bothered me enough that I decided to get rid of it.
I'm now riding my friends road bike, but I'll ride a fixie again someday, but I cannot buy from Retrospec again. I did not feel comfortable requesting anything after riding it for a month. If they would have just sent me a new fork to begin with, everything might have been fine.
Hope this story is somewhat helpful in making your decision.
Second, the customer service is just like the bike, top notch. I emailed them with my concerns and they answered the same day. I called them and they answered all my questions. They really go above and beyond getting the customer satisfied with their product.
So Retrospec, thank you for making this purchase a superb experience.

I've been meaning to get a fixed gear bike for some time now and some friends recommended Retrospec as a starter fixie. I received my Retrospec bike last week and it arrived almost completely assembled and came with the proper tools to add the pedals, handlebar, front wheel, and saddle. It took about an hour to put together since it didn't come with instructions. I brought it to a local bike shop to look it over and they said it seemed like a great bike for a great price. I love the color and the bike rides rather smoothly. Riding both freewheel and fixed gear feels comfortable. Coming from a mountain bike, this bike is pretty light (about 28 pounts) and can easily be mounted on a rack. Overall a very solid bike!Best Deals for Retrospec Beta Series Single Speed with Flip Flop Hub

Honest reviews on Retrospec Beta Series Single Speed with Flip Flop Hub
I'm not a professional; this is my first bike I've purchased. That being said, I really love this bike. The only issues I've had have been user error (mostly during assembly). I switched the back tire so that it is now free wheel, which I prefer. It was pretty simple, even for a newbie like me. It looks great, and feels great on the road.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Retrospec Beta Series Single Speed with Flip Flop Hub

Reviews of Avenir AirSource 2X Shop Floor Pump
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $54.99
Sale Price: $46.85
Today's Bonus: 15% Off

I use this pump to fill my wheelchair tires to 130 PSI. The pressure gauge has a red pointer that I can set to my desired pressure in order to help me see when I have reached pressure. The pump is sturdy. The base has three feet making it easier for me place under my heels. There is a cool lever near the base. The lever allows me to switch between high volume output or high pressure output.This pump has a 1" orange aluminum anodized tube sliding up and down inside the pump body instead of the usual 1/4 steel rod so it can pump high volume air for bigger tires. It gets up to 40 pounds quickly and then I flipped the high/low pressure lever down to get higher pressures. It has a nice stroke over 20" long for smooth and rapid operation. The head works great on both presta and schrader valves without conversion. The head has a nice orange anodized aluminum lock lever that is easy to use. The triple foot is a stable and sturdy metal stamping with a tough plastic pad underneath to protect floors. The pump weighs 3 lbs 9 oz. There is a trick storage compartment in the handle for the inflator needle and inflation cone you used to have to hunt for. You can hide your stash inside the capped compartment in the other side of the handle. The gauge is accurate and easy to read with a movable pointer to set for your target. There is a No Time Limit warranty. I am very pleased to have found such a well built and high tech pump at a very reasonable price. It's made in China but Avenir/Raleigh is making them do it right.

These came at a great price. It is a bonus that you receive the foam sleve to protect your fingers from the cold as the CO2 is released. Unless you want to buy the cartridges in bulk (16 or more), these are some of the best priced you can find.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Planet Bike 3 Pack CO2 Refill Cartridges

Cheap Shimano XT M770 Rear QR Skewer
I bent the original skewer mountain biking. It is nice I could get the original skewer to replace it. Great!
If you need a reliable rear skewer, this is what you're looking for. Granted, it's a bit on the expensive side, but it uses a much superior "Closed Cam" design. The vast majority of the skewer these days are of the "Open Cam" variety, which doesn't grip as well as this.

One of my mountain bikes has a (difficult to fix) problem where the rear wheel will slide out of position when I hit a bump. This is one of the few skewers in the market that will hold the wheel in place under any circumstance.If you need a reliable rear skewer, this is what you're looking for.

Buy Park Tool STL-1 Logo Shop Stool with Swivel
This stool is quality made. The four leg design is much more stable than 3 legged stools,and the materials of construction are good, including soft but supportive foam seat. The seat swivels, and the foot rest ring makes sitting in this stool very comfortable.
The stool looks great in my garage, where I do alot of work on my mountain bike.

Nitrous 36H Rings Rim Reviews
Replacing those original silver single wall rims with these double wall Nitrous rims was very inexpensive. Seller didn't have 2 red or 2 black rims, so I decided for a red front and a black rear rim for my daughter's white/red/black Redline bike. Bike looks amazing.

Review of Shimano CS-M970 XTR Bicycle Cassette (9-Speed)
25 yrs of competitive mtb...I race both shimano and sram cassettes for the life of me I can't tell the difference in terms of function and wear. I ride big ring 95% of the time and I'll replace my 44t 3 times for every one of these which I seem to replace about every 2500 mtb miles. Even though its old school @ 9s these days I still think it's pretty!

Cassette works great! Bought KMC chain also. The titanium gears make it very light and seems to shift a lot smoother than the xt that was on it.
