Nuts did not fit tight at all and keep backing themselves off, used hardware from old axle and at least got it to hold a couple weeks but eventually same thing. Seems like threads were not machined properly. Might be fine for child or maybe a commuter bike for small rider, but I would not recommend this to anyone

Honest reviews on Wheel Master Pyramid Axle Set, without Dust Cap - RR 3/8 x 26 x 126

I needed a good shaft with new bearing surfaces, for the rear wheel, this solves the problem. I got a few, I needed the bike strong, I can put a rear axle on the front of these new bicycles. I used the old rear wheel, for the front, after I changed the shaft & bearings. I do not have to worry about 300 lbs destroying these bearings. The bearings I bought in a 10 pack, for the same price, that I could get only one bearing, from a bicycle shop. Bearings are 1/4 inch balls in a 7 slot retainer. They had to be bought separately.

I have to say, I was very eager to receive this product. After reading the many negative posts, though out shined by the positive posts, I was eager to see what this product was made of. I was very pleased at how easy it went together. The instructions were not too bad so they could not be understood. I also had a little help from a You Tube video I came across during my research of this product. I have posted the instructional videos in an earlier post, prior to me receiving the product.

As for the trailer, I think over all it is a great buy for the money. Very well build, and not to hard to fold for storage. The initial assembly took me less than five minutes. It is pretty self explainatory for the most part. Remember, you are only spending less than $150.00 with shipping and tax. For the money it is a great buy. Every product has its pros and cons. If you want less cons, and much more pros, then I suggest spenting $500.00 plus on some of the top of the line trailers.

I would not put my daughters in anything deemed unsafe, by any means. Right off the bat, if you are towing this trailer on a busy residential or city street, there is already a potential for an accident to occur from a motorist(even with the included orange flag). If you want to the decrease the potontial of an accident that is completely out of your control, I suggets you keep to usuing this bike trailer on a unshared bike path, or campground. Which is our intended use. Too many people out there that should not be driving. No matter how careful a bicyclist you are.

As I said, the trailer assembly was easily assembled. In time, with practice, I am sure I will develop a system on breaking this down in under 3 minutes. Both rear tires held air to the maximum psi recommended. As did the stroller tire. It has a comfortable 'bench seat' for one or two children. And it even has a seat and floor board so your little passengers will not be siting in a 'hammick" like seat and it will protect them from the elements of the road. It has a bug screan, with plenty of ventilation and a rain flap that folds up when not in use. The entire canopy is held taunt with industrial grade velcro. And the material of the entire trailer is double stitched and not made from flimbsy nylon. Which suprised me based on some other posts. It has a 3 way harness for either one or two passengers. I suggest you buy a harness anti-chafing covers. Which can be bought for $5.00 each where they sell childrens car seats and strollers. It also has shock absorbers on each wheel. There is even a storage area in the rear, for your necessities. It is not bad as far as the size of the storage space, in relation to the size of the entire trailer. It also has 6 reflectors, 2 on the front, two in the reat, and two on the wheels. Unlike some other trailer/stroller combination, the front wheel (which is included) is kept securely in a designated place on the rear of the trailer when not in use. The arm for conecting the trailer to the bicycle folds underneth the trailer. This way everything stays together, and you do not have to carry extra parts/pieces when riding/walking. The universal clasp fit right onto my rear quick release without any incident. And there is a spring in the arm which bends and swivels. So if you dump your bike, the trailer stays upright. When I was riding, I did not even know I was towing. I believe most of the negative posts are for the Aosom Trailer, which is offer on Amazon for $114.00 and not the Elite 11 for $134.00. I suggets spending the additional $20.00 and getting a trailker/stroller with a lot less negative issues.

Now for the real test. I think I was more excited to get this trailer working than my daughter was. She is of average height for a 19 month old, and weighs about 28 pounds. With her helmet on, she had plenty of head room. Although, with the helmet on, it does push her head slightly foward, but not to the point where she was uncomfortable and wanted to get out. While we were riding she loved it. She was waving to everyone we saw. She thought she was on a Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade Float. And this is a very active child. And she did not want to get out.She even fell asleep in it 2 hours before her nap! Once we got to the store usuing a bike path and very low traffic roads, I converted it to the stroller. And what a sigh of relief not to have to remove my slepping daughter from the trailer, lock up the bike and trailer, and carry her (or let her run, with me chasing her everywhere) once we got to our destination.

The brakes are nothing more than 2 bars the rub against the tires to slow down the stroller, not completely stop it. So if you plan to use this for jogging soley, I suggest you spend more money on a stroller with an adequate braking device or a true jogging stroller. It also does not have an emergency brake, which is why I gave it 4 stars. So if you are at the top of an incline, YOU MUST HOLD ON! Other than that, for the money, this trailer is great. I cannot wait for my infant to be of age to use this trailer with her older sister.

I would recommend this to families who intend to use this for recreactional or light erands only. Not for daily jogging or as another means of daily transportation. If your intended use is for the latter, I suggest you make the increased investment.

A few things I would like to see this company upgrade in future models is the following:

!. Make some more room for the back of childs head while wearing the helemet.

2. An emergency brake so you do not have to constantly hold it while in stroller mode. ( It did not tip over with my daughter and her diaper bag in the storage area).

3. It has pocket built in on either side of the interior. Perhaps a drink and snack holder could be incorporated.

$. Folded, it is quite heavey. When assembled, the weight is distributed. Though, it would be nice if it were a bit lighter.

This is a good product. I have already listed the pros in the first part of my post. For a person that does not ride everyday, I could not see spending $500.00 plus on something I might use several times, or less, a month. If your bicyle is your primary means of transportation, than I would make the increased investment. For me and my family, this trailer/stroller is perfect for our life style. Remember, you get what you pay for.

Really happy with it. Works great; relatively easy to setup; comfortable and I trust it...

Couple of Cons:

The front wheel is not too easy to take off. It works without tools, which is great, but it takes you some time unscrewing in an awkward position. They could have designed that better, and I will probably change it myself.

The brake is a little too close to the tire, and you can't really change it.

Our children (both under 3 years old) do not fit next to each other; they both have to sit a little to the side. Honestly a big disappointment to me, as we wanted something comfortable to take them on long walks in one stroller.

All in all still a good buy; you really can't beat this price for such great quality

Honest reviews on Aosom Elite II 3in1 Double Child Bike Trailer, Stroller & Jogger

This is what we needed. My son is 4 and to big for the normal jogging stroller. This is just what the mama ordered :) Its big enough for him to lounge and play with toys. I was scared that it was going to be hard to put together myself but was super easy. The only thing that I dislike is the fact the small front tire came full of air but the larger ones didn't. But they are stable enough to hold use until we get ourselves to the gas station to fill air in them and then I will in turn by a hand pump for this kind of occasion again.

Retrospec Beta Series Single Speed with Flip Flop Hub Review

Customer Ratings:

[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.

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!

I am not one to write reviews but sometimes one must step out the comfort zone to show their appreciation. First off, the bike is excellent, it rides smoothly and fast. The materials used are top notch, and its appearance is just magnificent.

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'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.

I didn't expect much for the price and what I got in return was much better. The best thing about this top tube bag is that it fits my 4.3'' cell phone and I'm able to use the touchscreen through the plastic without any problems. Thus, during a ride, I use my phone as my gps and speedometer through a program called Endomondo and I can see everything. I bought a small USB battery pack on Amazon and tuck it inside the case and after riding for 6 hrs with the screen on, GPS on, and blutooth on streaming music to my headphones, I had 100% battery.

Even with the battery pack, I had space for food and snacks, which you need on a 100 km ride.

For the money, this bad cannot be beat. It has padding on the sides for protection if you do place items that need it in there.

As simply a bike pack, assuming there was not phone display, I would rate this product 2 stars. The three attachment straps are all much too long for my road bike, so I had to customize them a little bit. Assuming you have some very amateur skill with a sowing, or even just a scissors, this should be an easy fix. After testing the length of the straps on my bike, I marked out the correct length. I then removed the "male" velcro piece, cutting the strap by about 4 inches, sowing the velcro back on, then melting the end of the strap to prevent from fray. Another option would be to simply glue the velcro back onto the corrected strap. This worked well for me, however I wish the product would have just initially come with proper strap lengths. The pouch has padded walls, which is nice if you are carrying more fragile items, or hard things such as CO2 cartridges as it protects the bike from dings. straps are attached to the bottom edges of the pouch. This is a slight design flaw because as you crank the straps tight, the bottom face of the pouch is pulled down by the edges around the frame, taking away valuable storage space. My recommendation would be to reinforce the bottom with a hard plastic bracket or plate, and relocate the strap attachment position to the center of the pouch. Next, when riding in my drops, because I am leaning forward more, by knees sometimes rub the side of the pack. This can really throw you off when cruising down a hill where you need maximum control. The pack slides around, but never shifts dramatically from typical road vibration and small bumps. Finally, the zipper is hard to maneuver around the from of the pack, as it is pressed tightly against the stem of the bike. If the zipper came around the back of the bag, it would be instantly much better. The size of the pack is impressively large. In my pouch I have a spare tube, a small patch kit, a 19-function multi-tool (Crank Brothers Multi Bicycle Tool (19-Function)), 2 tire levers, 2 16oz CO2 cartridges, a small CO2 inflater (Innovations Air Chuck Elite Inflator), and enough room to slip in my keys, along with my ID and credit card (which I always suggest you carry in case of emergency). The pouch is stuffed to its limit with all of this when my phone is put in the phone pouch, which I will get to in a minute. A big advantage to this product is the ease of accessibility. It is easy to grab a quick snack at a stoplight, or even on the go.

The reason I am giving this product a 4-star review is because of the phone pocket. To start, the position of the pouch is low enough that it would not hit the ground if turned upside down, and located in a central position on the bike. This provides protecting from damage if you were to take a spill. I would trust that by rolling my bike down a steep mountain slope into a heavily wooded forest where my bike would meet its grave, my phone would remain unharmed. My iPhone 4 fits snugly in the pocket, the entire screen is displayed (clear plastic is tall and wide enough), and the plastic is clear and easy to see through. Though the plastic gently sticks to the screen, making the display look goofy when screen is off, when the screen is illuminated this disappears, and a clear display shines through. Also, I have had no issues with the touch screen through the plastic. It may be slightly less sensitive, but much better than I would have expected from such thick, durable material. It is easy to quickly check the time, text messages, or the weather while at a stoplight, or even on the move. I would suggest making text larger, as it is difficult to read normal sized text fonts, even with 20-20 vision. (Use caution when looking at phone while moving).

I have yet to test the product in wet conditions, but from what I can tell by examining the pouch, it is very much splash proof. The material is much like that off a pair of winter gloves, which can soak through, yes, but very slowly and in small amounts. I also imagine if there is water on the plastic screen cover, the touch sensors would be off, but this happens when water is directly on the phone screen, plastic cover or not. I would not suggest riding through 5-foot deep puddles with electronics in the pouch, but other than that I would trust it to remain water resistant on wet roads, muddy trails, and light rain.

Finally, there is the one aspect that is even better than the phone pouch: the price. This product is exceptional for its price. I would prefer it to many $50 saddle packs. You cannot complain about anything when the price is this low. (In my defense, I am not complaining, I am only trying to inform the consumer about the product)

Overall, the product does exactly what it promotes. The design of the pouch has a few flaws, and could use a more secure mounting apparatus. The phone display pouch is excellent, and makes right all flaws of the design. The price is, well, look for yourself. When I purchased this product it was $9.99 with free shipping (with Prime). I would pay at least $30 for this product. I would recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a phone mount and bike pack, as it brilliantly combines the two.

Just got this the other day and put on my bike. No issues with the straps. The bag seems very secure. Of important note the iPhone5 fits easily. You can still use the phone to navigate to applications even while in the bag. Seems like this would provide good protection of the phone for at least light rain. Would not trust for heavy rain.

Plenty of space under the phone compartment area for keys, wallet etc..

For about $10 this bag is clearly worth it.

This small pack is great for the price. It is well stitched and looks like it will hold up over many miles. My only issue is if I stand up from the saddle to climb a hill, my knees rub each side of the bag as I pedal. As long as you are seated on your bike, the bag is fine. It fits a phone, bike tube, cliff bar, gel, patch kit, and small tool. I can swipe the phone through the plastic cover.

Just a quick update to my original review of this great bag. I've loved everything about this bag.From the looks of it, to the way my cell phone fits into the sleeve designed for it. My only complaint was as others have stated. Is that the velcro straps were way too long. some even mentioned cutting,sewing or gluing the straps to shorten them. I found out that by simply criss crossing them underneath the bar shortens them greatly so that they don't hang off the side of the bag.But in no way compromises the grip on the top bar of the bike. Works well and makes the bike look great minus having to do any of the proposed alterations. Love this bag!!!
