Maxxis detonador is one of those tires you can use for training and you won't need to change it for a weekend race.

Very good puncture resistaince and very nice roling.

After so many years triyng tires I can said this ones are one of favorites.

I have used detonators with great success. Excellent tire that is able to stand up to the punishing roads of Oahu. Tires before suffered from punctures everyday.

I do not recommend the white sidewall. I pumped it up to 120 psi and possibly had too much stuff in my backpack. I commute to work. First use and first tire to blow a sidewall on me. Scared the heck out of the people next to me in an amazing explosion. I was able to laugh about it later.

I am still ordering these tires but i am sticking to the regular sidewall and the newer versions of these tires. I give the tire 1 star because of the experience, but would rate the detonators 5 stars.

I have about 1k miles on the tires and have no complaints. they seem to hold up nicely on pretty beaten roads I ride. Minimal flats; I think I have only had 2-3 since switching. (Normally >8 flats/1k mile) The rear tire has just began to show any significant signs of wear.

Honest reviews on Maxxis Detonator 28" Road Bike Tyre 28 Zoll, Kevlar white/black

These tires were stock on my hybrid bike. They ride okay, are fairly smooth and fast, and still provide the necessary grip to bestow confidence in just about all situations (except snow and ice, of course). In the three months that I had these tires on my bike, I had numerous flats even though I ride on designated and well-maintained bike paths. I average about 120-150 miles a week and with the Detonators, it seemed that almost not a single week went by without a flat.

Last week, I went on a 25 mile ride and incurred two flats on the same ride. That was my breaking point and I finally purchased a different set of tires. The Detonators are quite annoying if you dislike having flats in the middle of nowhere several times a month.

Got some Maxxis detonators March 2010. I have about 1200-1300 miles on a set and they pooped out on me. I ride about 150-200 miles/week I've been cycling since I was 11 (did RAGBRAI on an old schwinn crisscross) and while I am not a certified mechanic, I know a fair amount about equipment. My LBS suggested these tires to me when in a pinch for some new ones. They did ok, but I have burned through a couple of patch kits. Right out of the gate I was getting flats. The latest nightmare happened while on my first 300 km brevet this past weekend. 5 flats. That really hurt considering I was trying to just finish, let alone stop and fix flats.

Either way, I'm going a different direction with my tires. The colors were fun and entertaining, the tires look good and perform well on smooth, debris free roads (what tire doesn't, and what road is free of debris?). But, I am going the way of practicality from now on and ordered me up some marathon +'s. I can't fix a flat every couple hundred miles, despite getting really good at changing tubes with these tires.

Review of Chicago Boy's Sidewalk Skate

Customer Ratings:

I chose the Chicago brand from past experience, and I was not disappointed. We are a three generation family of Chicago skate users, and the quality of workmanship is still there after all these years. Upon examination of these skates, I found them to be sturdy and well balanced, with excellent stops, and "stylish" enough to please the 9-year-old they were purchased for. I would recommend these skates to anyone who wants the child in their lives to have the safest and best skates money can buy; price-wise, you can't go wrong with these.

My 6 year old son got them this summer, he's been happy and I think they are very good. The only thing I would recomend is to order one size up, I did because somehow I stumbled upon this site with a chart that gave instructions on how to order for different brands depending on your street shoe size, I was hesitant buy I'm glad that I ordered one size up.

I bought these skates for my 8-year-old for Christmas. He LOVES them and skates every day. They seem to be very sturdy and the wheels aren't too fast since he is still a beginner. My only issue is that the toe stop seems a little chintzy and will probably wear out rather quickly, but that can easily be replaced. I'm sure the skates on the whole will last until he grows out of them, which will be too quickly for sure. I shopped a lot and thought these were a great deal for the money and I'm not disappointed.

I ordered a couple of these for use on a college campus in the housekeeping and maintenance. I was wishing they were three or five speed to make it easier to go up the hills. After I assembled the first one I immediately to it up the longest grade we have with no problems. I'm actually glad they're single speed now because they'll have less issues later. Our hills are not real steep though for serious grades you'll want more gears.

You asked if I was satisfied with this Schwinn Tricycle. To me it is a worthless peace of junk.

Its out of balance and hard to pedal. I cant ride it at all it keeps stearing funy. I had my step daughter try and ride it and she had the same problems. Now I am stuck with a 297$ bike that I will have throw in the dump. Do you have anyway I can redem my money. YOur respectfuly

This works great for him since he can't ride a two-wheeler. It looks very cool and he feels proud when he rides it. It took several hours for my husband to assemble it. My son pedals very slowly, so I let him pedal along while I walk the neighborhood. The basket is substantial and we sometimes pack a picnic lunch in there, add a kickball, blanket, and go to the neighborhood shaded playground and sit under a big oak after playing and eat. Very good purchase.

If you have a bike with horizontal dropouts, this is pretty much the way to go. If you have vertical dropouts, save yourself some money and go with a cheaper option.

An excellent Shimano product. I have used other brands of skewers from well known manufactures but these skewers are outstanding and very high quality. They are easy to use and lock the wheel firmly and reassuringly in place. I think it's important to use a high quality and reliable product when your life may depend on it.

Great very light and durable quick release. Solid one piece construction takes the rattle out of some other quick release skewers. Great quick upgrade.

I've owned this bike rack for approximately a month now and I am very happy with my purchase. Thule is a great product and I'm very happy that I purchased this bike rack. It's very easy to install and fits practically all makes and models of cars. The manual did not recommend the bike rack for my boyfriend's 2001 Ford Taurus, but it fit fine and we were comfortable with traveling with the bike rack on his car. We only checked to see if the car would fit my car before we purchased the bike rack, but everything worked out fine. I really like the material, sturdyness, and overall quality of this product.

I've read that someone or a few people weren't able to fit three bikes on this rack. We have 2 adult bikes and 1 children's bicycle and all three of the bikes fit fine. We've also traveled with 3 adult bikes and the fit was good as well. Just make sure you read the instructions and tips that come with the bike rack and you should have no problems.

Set up was easy enough. Used the correct settings and mounted two bikes: both were kids bikes, both were heavy. But around 200 miles into the trip (bad traffic), we very luckily noticed that the bikes seemed way off center.

We pulled over. One of the arms had come undone from the elbow of the rack. The elbow that holds in the arm (which holds the bikes) is the most important part of the rack. The elbow had actually split and when it started to split there was enough give so that the pin mechanism that holds the arm in place popped out. When you purchase this rack, look at the pin mechanism. You will notice it is made of very flimsy material and the squeeze construction seems shoddy. It's the kind of pin mechanism that weight traning equipment uses, but weight training equipment manufacturers always use reinforced heavy steel pins. Why in the world these pins are so flimsy I will never understand. I am sure most of these units are fine and I am sure we got a bad set (only one arm had the problem), but I swear this issue could always be avoided if they just used a longer steel pin that you just push through manually.

I don't get it. We were on a family vacation and had to abandon two bicycles. An email to Thule Saturday remains unanswered on Tuesday night. Nothing else to say. I am sure people love this rack because it is easy to install and probably works 99% of the time, but you have to consider, the times it doesn't work would be dangerous and expensive. This is one of the only reviews I have written on Amazon. While I am sure this is a fine rack for shorter trips or for cars with a normal trunk, it just didn't work for us on our SUV. We'll get a hitch setup in the future.

The Thule model is well made, has sturdy straps with good buckles and an easy way of tying down to the trunk sides and bottom. I use it for a 27 lb bike and a 37 lb three wheel recumbent. The rubber saddles and straps are good. For my heavy recumbent bike I had to place hose clamps on the bars to prevent the saddles from moving. The bars holding the bikes can be rotated down for storage but with a little difficulty in pressing the two buttons to release the arms.

I bought the three bike unit because it has a higher listed weight capacity but I suspect it is the same product as the two bike unit but with longer bars.

The saddles and straps save time. I no longer need to spend much time using bungee cords. It is important to get the trunk side and bottom straps snug so they don't loosen on the road.

I called Thule and got an answer to my question about the height of the assembly.

This is a good product and I am glad I bought it.

Honest reviews on Thule 911XT Passage 3 Bike Trunk Mount Carrier

Bought this carrier after searching and reading all the reviews I could find on models that actually had my vehicle in the fitment guide then a visit to the store to look at one. This fits our '06 Chevrolet HHR just fine and made a 3 hr trek twice on the highway at highway speeds with some crazy dips where construction met finished road with 2 'mountain bikes' loaded. No problems. One bike was my wife's high-end Roadmaster ;) 'mixte' frame which we did not need the special bar for. I see no reason to give this a bad review at this point. Read the instructions and follow the tips, make sure the straps are very tight and check them after you go a few miles because nylon straps stretch. I had my wife lift up on the loaded bars enough to take the weight off while I re-tightened the straps. Once was all it needed.

Oh, be careful not to let anything hang directly behind your exhaust pipe....just a tip.

It was a little unclear if this would fit on my Grand Cherokee but I took the leap of faith anyway I'm glad I did. Very easy to install and I easily carried three bikes (two adult, one child) on the back without any problems. The straps make it easy for any style of bike to fit. Very pleased and would recommend to anyone.
