Cheap Geax Gato Tire - 26in
After using Geax Mezcal tires on my bike for the past 2 years, it was time for something new. I bought these, after some searching, they met my riding of both street and biking up in the mountains. Another great tire from Geax.

I purchased the Pro Ultimate online 3 weeks ago. Observations: 1) Assembly 80 min. 2) Can be used by adults (250 pound wt. limit); easily adjusted to my 5'5" height. 3) This bike is for flat terrain ONLY and maybe very gentle slopes. 4) NOT for endurance or high fitness riding; there are no gears (picture Fred Flintstone!). However, it does glide well. 5) A great neighborhood cruising-type bike, and perfect for what I wanted it to do: light to moderate exercise AND being able to run the dog alongside for exercise. 6) Disappointment: after less than 3 weeks of riding about 5 miles per week, both back tires had to be replaced. One blew out and was worn down to the "mesh" all along the center zone. The other was almost as bad. Both back tires were of very poor quality. Customer Service gave me a partial credit towards new tires from a local bike shop, but this did not quite cover the whole cost. However, I did not want to hassle with returning the bike, especially since I thought I would get the same awful tires....and I liked the bike itself. Bottom Line: great for cruising on flat terrain, and perfect for exercising both the dog and a middle-aged fairly out-of-shape rider.....excellent stability since you are low to the ground........but you will most likely have to replace the tires.
Otherwise, a nice little machine easily assembled.

This bike is obviously for the very casual rider not for any serious rider. Just the fact that it is a fixed gear ratio limits your top speed to somewhere around 3~4 mph. Even with that understanding, this bike is disappointing. With all the riders weight on the rear two wheels, there is virtually no weight on the traction wheel. The result is that the bike can't climb any sort of grade especially if the roadway is at all damp or sandy. The steering mechanism also gives the bike an absurdly large turning radius. These two facts really render the bike useless even for casual riding.Best Deals for Mobo Triton Pro Ultimate Three Wheeled Cruiser
Only complaint I have with the Triton Pro is that even on dry pavement, with an adult, the front drive wheel will lose traction on a 5%+ incline. The weight distribution needs to be slightly increased over the front wheel. Perhaps by mounting the rear axle a couple of inches further back.Otherwise, a nice little machine easily assembled.

lots of fun...steering is tight and get lots of looks at the beach,easy and cool to ride.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Mobo Triton Pro Ultimate Three Wheeled Cruiser
I bought this bike because i need exercise and i have a bad knee. The bike is not fast but it didn't need to be. i just needed to get out of my chair at lunch, and ride. Walking put a lot of strain on my knee because of my weight, but riding seemed like the thing to do. Besides the exercise i'm getting, it's fun. The bike is a little small but it works for me. If i were to do it again, i would buy the 20 inch model.Friday, July 4, 2014
Chicago Boy's Rink Skate, Black Reviews

We received these in plenty of time for the birthday party at the rink. Cool! All went well. The fit and look were good for my 8 year old boy. Following about 3 separate skating sessions, the front wheels fell off. No injury. Just need to check the tightness of the nut before going for a skate.Best Deals for Chicago Boy's Rink Skate, Black
Perfect for the beginner. Easy to put on/take off. Kids learn to skate rather quickly with the 4 wheels and stop pad.Honest reviews on Chicago Boy's Rink Skate, Black
Good fit. Good quality skates. The colors were more vivid than pictured but a 6 year old loved it. (The ones I received had colored strings.)Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Chicago Boy's Rink Skate, Black

Topeak The Mini 9-Function Bicycle Tool Reviews
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $16.95

I bought this to replace a slightly larger, though less functional Parks multitool that was starting to fall apart. Compared to the Parks tool, this is smaller, lighter, more functional (it has a screwdriver), and easier to use. I always had a really hard time opening the Parks tool and I normally had to use a coin to lever the first tool out. I don't have that problem with the Topeak its design makes it easier to get open.
I like the selection of tools too although I'm pretty sure I have no use for that star shapped tool what the heck is that for? I would have prefered a flat-blade screwdriver instead of the star tool. If anyone knows where I'm likely to find a use for the star tool on a road bike please let me know.
It comes in a small case which is awesome (even has a belt loop). Whenever I pulled the Parks tool out of my saddlebag it would grab everything it could on the way out and I would end up spilling the contents of the saddlebag all over the road. The Topeak case solves that problem nicely.
This is a very basic tool. You will still need a chain tool and a spoke wrench at a minimum unless you really like long walks home.
Interestingly I'm starting to see the Topeak symbol all over my bike lately. I think I'm starting to like that company. They made my toolset, pump, and saddlebag. LOL hadn't noticed before.
A friend recommended I pick up this awesome little tool when I bought my first bike. It lived in my bike bag and was the first bike tool I ever owned (I now am a bike mechanic, so I have lots of tools). When my roommate bought her first bike, I loaned mine to her so she could adjust her seat. She wouldn't give it back. So I bought another one and it too was "gifted" to another riding companion. When I went to the store to buy my third one, another friend came with me and bought one for himself (I refused to give him mine, though he did try). I recently bought my mother a bike and guess what was the first thing in her saddlebag? You guessed it, the Topeak Mini 9. This last one I purchased for myself, to go in the saddle bag of my 2nd bike, mainly because I got tired of forgetting to switch the bag over.

The tool's solidly built, and it performs all its functions well. It has enough tools to loosen almost any bike bolt or screw, without being needlessly encumbered. I'm pleased with my purchase.Best Deals for Topeak The Mini 9-Function Bicycle Tool
This tool is a must-have biking companion. With it you'll be able to adjust your seat, handlebars, and gears, at least. It's small, has just what you need, and fits snugly in its own carrying case. It takes up less room than most tire levers in your bag/pocket. It's robust and can take a drop (or 20) onto the asphalt.A friend recommended I pick up this awesome little tool when I bought my first bike.

What more can you want from something like this? It's not too heavy, it's small as hell and therefore a cinch to carry. No complaints from me...I've used it from keeping my cleats nice and tight to various screws and bolts on the bike.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Topeak The Mini 9-Function Bicycle Tool
Perfect size, a bit larger than a box of matches. Has enough tools to tighten up minor issues on the road to keep you rolling. Comes w/ its own carrying case if you don't want to throw it in a seat bag. My only dig is it is a little thick. Recommended purchase.Wednesday, January 22, 2014
Reviews of Roller Derby Girl's Trac Star Adjustable Roller Skate
There's no indication in the pictures or the description what shoe sizes 'medium' and 'large' correspond to. I guessed and ordered the large, and on the outside of the box it says it is adjustable for US sizes 2-4.
The adjustment mechanism is much easier to use than her previous pair, and the skates are apparently very comfortable as she didn't want to take them off! The quality is great for the price! It's a little difficult for her to adjust them by herself at the moment, but I think that that's mainly because she's in the smallest size setting and they're still a little too big, so we need to cinch them in quite tightly around the ankle to get a good fit. I can see that this problem is going to go away as she grows a little.
Overall, I'd strongly recommend these skates to anyone with a beginning skater. They seem sturdy and the wheels have enough roll to be usable, while not being so touchy as to cause too many falls. We're looking forward to years of fun with them!

My eldest daughter bought these with her birthday money. It was a long and protracted decision which skates to buy, but when she saw these ones she fell for them straight away. Thankfully they are one of the few that can be shipped to Australia.The adjustment mechanism is much easier to use than her previous pair, and the skates are apparently very comfortable as she didn't want to take them off!

Got these in a timely manner and was very pleased with the product. They were a Christmas gift for my granddaughter and she loves them. They adjust one size (12 to 1) so I know she will get a lot of use out of them. These are well made and very sturdy.
