Fuzion LandShark 4-Wheel Kneeboard Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I have played around with these kneeboards for HOURS. They have almost no learning curve and are easy to hop on and scoot around. I cannot WAIT until I've got enough money to get one for myself. They are not entirely dangerous if you actually use your brain, unlike the parents who wrote the 1 star reviews.

You should not be riding this on the sidewalk. You should be riding it on nice, flat ground like a safe road or parking lot. If you hit a gap in the sidewalk on a skateboard going at a high speed you WILL fly off. If you hit a gap on this, do you expect to magically stay in place? No, you will fall off and because you are closer to the ground you will hit your face.

That being said, if you play on this for a while, you will fall off of it. Most likely you'll be taking a hard turn really fast and you'll fling yourself off the side of it (which, if I may say so myself, is HILARIOUS). You take that risk with ANY human powered riding toy. If your kid hits a wall on his skateboard, do you file a complaint with the company who made the deck? No, you tell your kid to watch out next time so they don't get hurt.

Use your brain before you complain.

My 11-year old son is very athletic, coordinated and has all of these riding "toys." After 1 week he has 9 stitches above his eye, a chipped tooth, and now has braces on his top teeth in hopes of correcting the damage from the land shark. Every child, and adult, that has been on it in our neighborhood has taken a spill...his was by far the worst. He was not going that fast or on a hill at the time. It is simply unstable and imbalanced. I would not recommend it. Not just because of one accident, but because everyone that has gotten on our land shark has crashed to some degree. We will be filing an official complaint with Fuzion.

We bought the landshark for my son when he was 7. We have had it for 2 years now, and as the kids get older, they have more fun with it. The downsides: 1. Kids fight over it. We usually have at least 6 kids over and they all want to use it.

2. We have had a couple of scrapes if the kids brake to hard, turn corners too fast or don't distribute their weight evenly. That is inevitable on any riding toys. make sure the kids are not riding too far forward on the board as their weight will be in the front not in the back and they will be likely to face-plant.

Honest reviews on Fuzion LandShark 4-Wheel Kneeboard

All three of our children, ages 6-13, love the LandShark. We live in a neighborhood with lots of children who line up to ride it. It is so great to have an outdoor toy that everyone is eager to use.

Landshark is a great product! The real problem is that we only have two of them. With respect to the one negative review, I have a 9, 11 and thirteen year old and the whole neighborhood hangs out at our house to ride these things. We have had a few minor scrapes, but nothing really. Landshark is THE most popular "toy" where we live. I really should get a couple more.

I have been wanting to try these tires for over a year now, and finally found them for a decent price(about $30 apiece).They look great and ride great on rough city streets, packed dirt and gravel. So far, they seem to be as tough as advertised, but it is still too early for me to fully affirm their flat resistance. They are not racing tires but they are about as fast as touring tires I've had but with better grip, and without the drag of cx or mtb tires. Cons: The "anti-pinch flat" bead is a hassle to seat properly and bulged off when I first fully inflated them(some more work and care is required, but they are fine once properly on). Also, there was an incident were the black comp seemed to be melting into the white, but after an hour of riding I couldn't find any evidence of it. Overall, these are vary functional, cool looking tire that are well worth the price I paid.

Pyramid Bicycle Loose Ball Bearings 3/16" Bag Of 144 Reviews

Customer Ratings:

What is there to say beyond that these are grade 300 (or thereabout) cheap cost-effective good-enough bearing balls for general-purpose bicycle applications?

I'll give it a try: I wouldn't use them in a turbine engine or something like that but for a typical non-racing ordinary commuting or pleasure bicycle they are plenty fine for the limited RPMs and loadings. Better ball bearings would shave a little bit of friction off and if you are a racer and want those last few watts of power then you will spend the big money on grade 5 ceramics. And by big money I mean BIG MONEY. This is totally wasted unless you are that top level where a tiny fraction of an advantage is going to make the difference of winning or losing by a few feet over miles of racing. But there are slightly better bearings than these for a bit more money but the cost/benefit ratio gets pretty steep and rather quickly.

For this price a home mechanic can afford to buy a couple bags of each common size and always have some on hand for the next project. When I pull apart bearings I just throw the old balls away rather than messing around cleaning and inspecting them. That's the beauty of cheap bearings and these bearings are beautiful. Just don't look at them under 30x magnification or you might be shocked. Under magnification they aren't so beautiful :-D But they work fine. This is bicycle mechanics, not rocket science. Good enough for your mother-in-law's bike. And if you want nicer bearings you can always pay more for them. But for most applications on normal bicycles these are just right.

If you do hub maintenance, you'll find that when you remove the lock nut and cone race, you'll find the ball bearings. Now, some people are cheap and wash the ones they have and put them back in. That makes NO sense to clean everything up and use old parts. They will have small pits and scratches, and no lube will fix that. So, why not replace the 20 3/16th bearings in the front hub with new bearings? You do this once a year, so the $1 is not a huge expense when you consider that it makes your wheels spin like new. These are hardened steel and hold up very well. When I replaced them last time, I looked with a magnifying glass and found only superficial scratches, meaning they worked as expected. Of course, use lube generously when installing them.

For the rear hub, you'll likely need 18 of the ¼" bearings, so be sure to use the proper size for the correct hub. Always count the # that come out and replace it with the same #. While it may LOOK like you can fit one more bearing in, do NOT do that. It's almost universally true that front hubs use 10 per side, while rear hubs use 9 per side (of the ¼", that is).

If you're not into servicing hubs yourself, be sure to tell you local bike shop you want them to service them and replace the bearings. Otherwise, they'll save money by cleaning up the old ones and reinstalling them, and that just is not good enough for serious cyclists.

I have an old bike that I have used to commute to school with for the past 5 years, and before that was pulled out of a trash heap. Needless to say just about every part that could need some repair did. I wasn't sure what size bearings I would need before I started refurbishing it so I picked up one bag of each size. These 3/16" balls are what I needed for refurbishing the front hub, the difference between these new bearings and the old rusty ones is night and day. Replace/repack your bearings regularly and the contact surfaces will last longer (ie, you wont need to buy new wheels or bottom brackets as often)

FYI, for those unsure, google 'Sheldon Brown Bearings' and he has some good info on what sizes are needed for what parts. The most important ones are 1/4" for most bottom brackets and rear hubs, and 3/16" for most front hubs.

It's a bag of loose bearings. I have replaced the bearing in a few wheels already. They work as they should. I'm not using them for a high-dollar racing bike, so don't know their real impact on rolling. The wheels that got them most certainly roll more smoothly than they did, but the old bearings were nasty, so that's no great surprise. They came very quickly though, which is nice.
