This seems to be an updated version of the classic Sturmey-Archer AW hub, which has been around since the beginning of the last century. It is now made in Taiwan, and sports a new aluminium alloy body shell which saves a bit of weight over the old model. So far it's working perfectly and smoothly.

The provided sprocket is perhaps a little small for most uses, but that's just my opinion. It's easy enough to replace it with a different one.

The new-fangled trigger shifter is not as versatile as the old shifter, but it's not a problem to substitute the older unit. Note that you will also need an old-style cable if you do that, the supplied cable for the new shifter is a conventional gear cable.

One big improvement over the old AW hub is the new roller guide for the indicator chain, much smoother than the old hollow nut design.

I can't imagine the circumstances where I would buy another Sturmey Archer hub. Impossible to get all 5 gears out of it. Shifts terribly. Hangs up. The only thing it does really well is shift up. Down shifting is next to impossible and making the adjustment to get the finial gear doesn't work at all. Now I'm going to have to spend another couple hundred dollars to get a new hub and have the wheel rebuilt. Never again.

I was very excited to get my bike. It's very comfortable and easy riding. Took my husband 1 1/2 hrs to put together. Instructions were pretty clear. I tried, my husband tried and my son tried to set the monitor from metric to English, based on the instructions in the manual and none of us were able to figure it out. Finally called Customer Service this morning only to find out that there was a misprint in the manual and you cannot convert. Now why would they sell an item like this in the US and only have a metric readout. Tried to convert using a calculator and it said I rode 916 miles in 30 minutes. Not too shabby. This is my only complaint about this item, but I think it's a pretty big one.

The bike itself is nice. It is comfortable and pedals nice. It was easy to put together by myself, and only took about an hour. It's VERY quiet. You can hear the tv perfectly when you're pedaling.

There are Five problems I have with it.

The first is that although the manual says that you can change it to miles from kilometers, you can't. The directions for how to do it are clear, but when you try, it doesn't do anything. So when you get off you have to convert it to miles.

The second problem is that if you have to get off the bike for a minute, the computer will shut down, and when you start it up again it's reset. It's fine unless you need a drink or to tend to a needy three year old. It doesn't take long for it to reset either. It's less than a minute. So if you want a total for how far you rode, write it down before you get up or you've lost it.

Third, the heart rate monitor won't work. It's not a huge deal to me because I use a polar heart rate monitor. It's just annoying that it has that feature and it doesn't work.

Fourth, It says it rolls. It doesn't. It more or less slides when you move it. It is light and I don't plan on moving it around, so it's not a big deal to me.

Lastly, the case of the main part of the bike (where all the "parts" are) was cracked on mine when I got it. I don't know if it left Amazon that way or if FedEx cracked it. Either way it has a crack in it.

Over all it is a good bike so far. I'll update if that changes with time.

I had this on my wish list and my girlfriend got it for me for my birthday. Apparently I have some some lbs to drop before beach season. I've had it for a couple of weeks now and can't complain about it. Especially considering the low price of the item.

Assembly was pretty easy. No problems really there. Well, except for one missing screw. Luckily, I could work out a solution for that. And also, there's step where you have to connect the tension cable and I had to loosen a nut in order to get it connected, but I was not able to get it back to its original place. Whether or not this mattered, I haven't seemed to notice. Possible I may have lost a little resistance, but there is still more than adequate resistance to get a good workout in.

The machine functions fairly well for being one of the cheapest around. There's a little creak and wobble when using it, but as long as you don't go ape s!@# on it, it's not a problem.

The seat is a little hard. You may want to look into a butt pillow.

I am 6'1" / 185 and I fit on it at its most extended seat position, just barely though. My girlfriend is 5'1" and it fits her. There's even room to move the seat closer when she's on it, so even being a bit shorter than that would be work. Taller people though, probably not going to fit them.

Elements of the display are hardly accurate or reliable apart from the timer and rpm. Distance is displayed in some kind of mystery unit and the calorie counter just takes up precious battery power. However, I've never really found the displays of even more expensive bikes to be very accurate. So it seems to be right on par with them. I prefer to not let the bike tell me when the workout is up, so I usually just cover up the display anyway and go until my legs almost fall off.

We couldn't get the pulse counter to work for a couple days until it became evident that there was a thin plastic film on the metal contacts that needed to be removed. These were nearly invisible and maybe the reason a lot of people have said it didn't work. They probably never took off the film.

I would certainly recommend it to anyone looking for a low-budget recumbent bike. It lost a star because of the poor display. However, I am able get beyond that and use it everyday. Overall, I like the bike for the price. It's a great buy if you don't need a display with all the bells and whistles and are just looking for a bike.

Solid bike, I m pregnant and it is exactly what I was looking for. The sit is comfortable, the display big, the resistance works well. I m happy with it.

PRETTY EASY TO ASSEMBLE. WORKS GREAT. CHOSE THIS BECAUSE IT HAS A SEAT AND BACK, NOT JUST A BICYCLE SEAT. ELECTRONICS WORK WELL. ONLY THING I WOULD CHANGE WOULD BE TO ADD A LITTLE MORE PADDING TO SEAT. OTHERWISE IT IS COMFORTABLE AND WOULD RECOMMED IT TO OTHERS LOOKING FOR AN EXERCISE BIKE.

I needed a new charger after my old one stopped working. I looked around and saw this one. After reading the reviews i went ahead and ordered it. Right before i got my charger my weekend wheeler truck didn't want to start. So i took my battery to get tested at my local auto parts store and they told me my battery was "bad" and i needed a new one. So i took my battery back home and saw that the charger had arrived and it was the perfect time to test it out. I attached the charger to my battery and left it alone for the night. When i came back out in the morning it was fully charged so i took the charger off and let the battery sit. I checked it a few days later and it was still holding the same charge as it had when i took off the charger. The battery is still holding its full charge two weeks later. This battery charger saved me from buying a new battery when this "bad battery" is still good. I would recommend this charger to anybody who has a vehicle.

I have a lot of bateries that need to be charged or topped off during the year. I purchased this product and have used it on ATV, lawn mover and travel trailer deep cycle battery. So far it has done a good job on topping off my batteries and reviving my neighbors lawn mower battery that was cutting out after 5 minutes until he used the charger.

I have an AGM battery in my car and I wanted to make sure the charger I bought supports that type of battery. I`m really impressed with the Genius charger. The status lights let you know exactly what the charger is doing. I'd recommend the charger to anyone with AGM or Gel batteries (as well as traditional wet-cell batteries).

Amazon (as usual) had the best price and it was shipped in a timely manner.

Bought this to charge a motorcycle battery and keep it charged during the winter. Works great, easy to use, and it feels great to have a charger around that I can use for whatever I need.

Didn't use the reconditioning feature at all because, thankfully, I don't need it yet. will update review if that ever happens

I rarely write reviews but wanted to share my thoughts on this item. After several hours of research over several days, I selected this model over several other well rated chargers. I needed it to charge and maintain a large battery in a Porsche that is stored and driven infrequently. This vehicle has a 1000 amp (850 CCA) large battery (Interstate Mega-Tron Plus 93) that needs to be recharged frequently due to limited use..

I received the NOCO G3500 promptly as usual from Amazon Prime and was immediately impressed with the packaging and the quality of the device, manual, cables and connectors. I installed on the battery (vehicle last started over 2 months ago) and saw that the charger indicated

Discount Avenir Skini Mini Pump

Customer Ratings:

I see no reason, what-so-ever, to purchase this pump. I bought it so that I wouldn't have to carry my frame pump on trips and thus be able to carry a second water bottle since the Aviner can easily fit in a Jersey pocket. I tried to pump up my tire (a presta 115 psi 20c) and I pumped and pumped and pumped and pumped and pumped, etc. and got nowhere near the needed pressure to even ride on the wheels a short distance without any damage to the rims. Then, upon trying to remove the pump from the valve stem, the screw down portion of the stem broke off with the stinkin' pump (Yes, I did "unlock" the pump from the stem). One of my fellow riders sarcastically asked if I got the pump from the "Dollar Store". It was a good thing he had his Zephal pump with him to get my tire inflated. I've been riding high pressure (presta valve, sew-ups [tubulars] & clinchers) since the early 1970's and never had such a useless, destructive, trashy pump. I've had Silca's (with and without Camy heads), Zefal's, and now a Topeak. All fine pumps! But, this Avenir is garbage as far as I'm concerned. I wish I tried it out sooner because I would certainly have taken it back for a refund. Now, all it is, is a reminder to try out things like this in the store, or immediately after purchase so they can be returned. I hate it!! It's a waste of money!!! I'll never ride without my Topeak frame pump again. That's just my opinion. You can always buy one and formulate your own conclusions.

Simply put this item is junk, yes it's light and yes its small but it doesn't work. I made sure the Schrader valve ring was on but it can't lock on to the tire so all you get is an expensive air release. The other nuisance is the mount which is only available as a braze-on this just gets in the way of pedaling and shifting the front derailleur.

Best Deals for Avenir Skini Mini Pump

The reversible pump setting allows you to adapt to your given valve but the schrader valve side is terribly designed (thought the other side might work). You can pump and pump and pump but nothing is going in because the valve isn't being activated so you disassemble the pump head, attach it firmly to the valve then reassemble the pump around the stem. Great, now the pump activates the valve and you can put air in but it is leaking out at nearly the same rate so your tire never gets enough pressure to ride on. In the end, you will just be frustrated, tired, and confused as to why someone would manufacture and sell a pump so poorly designed. That's when you, in your baffled state, decide to look online to find out if you are the only one having thes problems with this substandard junk. Hence the review. Bottom line: don't buy this pump

Honest reviews on Avenir Skini Mini Pump

Even after reading the negative reviews, i decided to give it a try.

I needed a tiny pump for a folding bike, to be stored in a Serfas saddle bag, where my other mini pump (19 cm) would not fit.

That scenario means thatb i just need to reach low pressure (40 psi) on a low volume tire. That is way less demanding than high pressure or high volume tires.

Having said that, i tried the pump a couple of times, at home and after some cumbersome fitting and a lot of pumping, i reached an acceptable pressure.

However i would never recommend it for high pressure or high volume tires. There are far better mini pumps here on Amazon

Its a little bit of a hassle to use, but It definitely does the job when you dont have anything else, and it fits nicely on my bike and definitely makes my bike look cooler! Aesthetics are a plus!

Best Schwinn Boy Bicycle Training Wheels Deals

Customer Ratings:

These training wheels are easy to install however the bike we have has a thicker than usual bar going to the back of the bike and the training wheels constantly slip and spin around even when very tight. It had a rubber guard so it doesn't slip which is good but seems that the cut out just isn't wide enough for our bike. The other trouble with it is that the plastic chain guard had to be removed to make them work on this bike and there's no way to put back on with them attached, a hazard. I don't know if it's meant specifically for Schwinn bikes or not, maybe that's the problem. I wouldn't have bought again for those reasons...

The training wheels are sufficient as advertised, but they may not hold up for long. If your youngster is just starting out, they may not last through his or her entire learning experience. They certainly won't be able to be passed down to a second child learning to balance on two wheels, unless the first one was very light in weight and mastered it quickly. Still though, probably a good purchase for the price, in that you can get at least two sets of these for the price of a more durable and quality set.

They mount easily and you can assemble them with the proper tools while your toddler waits and enjoy the entire experience of putting them together and trying them out together.

It says it fits 20" bike but sorry it is not at all suitable for 20" bike. I am highly dissatisfied with the product

Honest reviews on Schwinn Boy Bicycle Training Wheels

Just a smidge too tall (even on the shortest adjustments) for a 12" bike. The back tire just can't touch the ground with these attached. More than a minor problem...

I bought a 20 inch bike for my daughter at Target (where it was already put together). It did not come with training wheels, so I purchased these Schwinn training wheels as they indicated 12' 20' bikes. I put the training wheels on at the prescribed 20' heights, however, the training wheels were approximately 2 inches off the ground on each side. These training wheels may be okay for 12' or possibly 16' bikes, but there is no way these are suitable for a 20' bike.
