Reviews of SRAM 130mm Black TT chainring

Customer Ratings:

Works perfectly on a ten speed or on a single speed bicycle. It's worth it trust me it is the best that I've had.

Works as advertised, shifts great, somewhat if not negligible stiffness increase. Most of all it just makes the whole bike look sharp. I added it to my BMC TM02 and it transformed the entire look.

My commute in to work is pancake flat and I was tired of spinning out the stock gearing on my singlespeed. It may look a bit ridiculous, but my commute is much more fun now. The chainring itself is light, stiff, and bolts on easily. I can't comment on its shifting performance, but I've been happy with my new "TT" commuter.

I got this tire mostly because it was inexpensive and had the black sidewalls versus the ugly tan ones I had on previous tires. After over 400 miles in about a year, it still has plenty of tread left. it is not as light as some tires and claim only a 100psi max, but I usually try to keep it around 110. I should mention that I use this tire as a front tire on a 3 wheel handcycle, with 20 inch tires on the rear.

Review of Dimension Rear 27" Formula Freewheel 130mm, 32h, Alexx 2000 Silver

Customer Ratings:

Ordered these to replace my older 27 X 1 1/4 steel road bike wheelset. these are lighter and very good quality, they use Alex X404 rims and DT swiss spokes, they will last a long time and keep my 1980's boad bike competitive. I took them right out of the box and put them on my road bike with no problems. I even used my original freewheel. the wheel also came with quick release skewers . can't beat the quality for the price.

The description of this product did not clearly indicate that it was a 1-1/4" rim. The photo of the wheel looked as if it was a 1" wide rim, so I was disappointed when I opened the box. However, it is a good-quality wheel and the packaging said it was built in the U.S., although the components are doubtless made elsewhere. The hub was initially sticky and required re-greasing. Why someone would skimp on grease when packing a hub, I don't know. The cones on the hub were surprisingly easy to adjust. So far (one week) it's been a good city commuting wheel and I think I'd recommend it for touring. We'll see how well it holds up. Other 27" X 1-1/4" wheels of the same specs are available for ~$25. I think this one is a grade better than those, but don't know for sure. It feels really solid and is pretty light for such a big rim. The hub takes an old-style threaded freewheel, which is fine if that's what you want (they're harder to get off than a cassette, but if you already own a freewheel, it'll save you $20).

I have an old Centurion 10 speed that needed a new rim due to some broken spokes on my old one. This one did the trick. It's nothing fancy but it holds up a 230 lb plus rider. So far so good.

I have this wheel and the ability to take it off so easily is great. However I ran into a problem specifically on my bike where it wouldn't fit the sprocket, so be careful.

The wheel does not advertise having high quality DT Swiss spokes, despite some erroneous reviews. If it had, it would have been in LARGE RED BOLD FONT, Flaunting, Bragging, Proudly Flashing! I also know from my personal buying experience (I buy ALL and EVERY wheel on Amazon that claims DT Swiss): such cheap wheels have low quality materials. Impossible to have DT Swiss. Perhaps, later corrections were made to the wheel description, from DT Swiss to something other. In general, this wheel has very low quality chinese spokes which are severely undertensioned and will break, all of them, if your weight is average or above. Undertensioned spokes constantly bend during ride and thus, they will and must break soon. This is my personal experience.

This is a great rack!. I purchased this rack for a Kent tandem bike and am not disappointed. When you purchase an inexpensive (cheap) tandem, sometimes it's hard to add-on something that costs about 1/10th the price of the whole bike, but I will get over it! The rack is very nicely made, lightweight, has good welds and fit quite nicely. It also has "nibs" to hold a bike pump (not sure I saw anything that indicated this in the product description. The reflector is massive (can't be too safe)!

I will say, however, before I ordered the rack I read several reviews and found I would need a Sunlite Monostay, since the Kent tandem doesn't have any braze-ons to handle the front attachment points. That being said, the instructions indicate if you don't have the attachment braze-ons, you can email support and they will send you some additional clamps that will clamp around the seat stay. I'll probably do this to see exactly what you get. It would have been nice to know this up front. However, it all worked perfectly and is a great add-on.

I will see if I can add some photos because, as they say, "a picture is worth a thousand words."

Check out my photos (7). Guess that's worth 7,000 words!

And it's aluminum ... what more could you ask for? Lightweight but sturdy construction. I purchased the pop off rear bike basket as well and it fits nicely on this rack. Reflector is a nice touch also.

I really like the rack. The problem i have is the arm lenght that connects to the fame under the seat. If your frame is at higher angle the arms are way too long. The pictures show a bicycle that need very long arms. If you have a commuter where its very close at the top where the platform of the rack will sit you will need different arm lenghts. Plus I tried to contact the seller to maybe get different arm lenghts but I havent heard back. Its bad when you cant get ahold of anyone to fix something seemly simple.

It took me 20min to put on, it came with all the screws and fixtures. I have to cut two screws short to fit my bike. I recommended it.

Good solid rack, easy to mount, like having the reflector already on. I bought this rack because I commute to work on my bike with bags attached and this keeps the bags from hitting the spokes.

These brakes came standard on my new bike. Their major flaw is that they lack pad clearance adjustment. This translates to impossible to correct squealing, rubbing, and tick-tick-tick noises to ruin your ride. No amount of alignment, adjustment, bleeding, or fluid add/removal is going to completely correct this problem. These brakes just don't cut it. Honestly, I have had better results from V-Brakes. If you must have hydro's step up to a model that has pad clearance adjust or you will regret it I promise. I am switching to BB7 mechanical disc brakes which can be more effectively tuned and don't require freaking syringes to maintain.

These also came standard on my bike and I have had endless binding issues in the back caliper. I have adjusted the mounting, the caliper bled, etc.... but to no long term benefit. I am certain it is the materials used in the piston seals which are inherently faulty.

First the concept of hydraulic brakes on bicycles is questionable. As a motorbike mechanic, given the relative mass of a motorcycle compared with the rider, it makes sense to have hydraulic disc brakes for weight savings and the amount of braking forces which are frequently necessary to come to a stop from, let say, 100kph with a average mass of 350kg. However, with a bicycle, it is MUCH less noticeable. In actuality, there is more of a tendency for the brakes to work too well and your wheel then skids or worse, you fly over your handlebars. Even in bicycle competition, one wants to minimize braking to take advantage of momentum. Whereas, in motorcycling, the engine will often be the first method of braking.

Second, let's assume that hydraulic disc braking is needed. I have read several posts where the solution to the binding issues are to bleed often and to lubricate the caliper piston seals with silicone often. Imagine if a motorcycle or even your typical automobile owner had to do this every time they went for a long ride or once a week. Most would turn to a more reliable vehicle. So other than being a bicycle enthusiast, I do not know why the bicycle industry and all its customers have not made a claim against Avid for their caliper as faulty and a serial defect? Intermittent binding of calipers are unsafe. This tends to heat up the hydraulic system which only causes the fluid behind the caliper to boil, degrade, and expand adding more braking forces on the piston. It is a cascading effect. If this happened in the motorcycle or auto industry, these would have been recalled the first year they were used. However, bicycle manufacturers continue to experiment on their customers without any liability or safety regulation.

I recommend mechanical disc brakes as a compromise until this braking technology matures to become maintenance free.

I rated these 4 stars and that's because the oem pads squealed on the front wheel of my bike. The rears were silent since I purchased the bike in Jan 2013. Ironically, I kept the front pads and transitioned them to the rear when the original rears wore out, and they did NOT squeal.When I got the bike I knew to bed these brakes in per the OEM specifications, and so I did. I have bled one due to a re-routing of a break cable and they have worked well, although the one that was bled has become a bit spongy recently. Nothing serious, but I like my brakes to feel crisp and close without too much lever drift or throw. Guess I'll have to bleed them again soon.

I ride aggressive AM trail and these brakes have not disappointed. Stopping power is good but I did change the front pads to another brand and they went silent. Would I buy Avid brakes aftermarket? You bet.

I put these on my hybrid bike for commuting. Some would say you don't need discs for the road. Some would say that mechanical discs are fine for the road. However I commute through the steep hills and traffic of Seattle and I want brakes that work. Rim brakes suck and after my experience with mechanical disc brakes I'd say they suck too. Once these are adjusted they are good. I had to realign my mechanical every few weeks. Then after they failed the first time i decided to go Hydraulic.

There are better brakes for mountain biking but if you want overkill for the road these will work great.

I did blow through the back pad quicker than the front but that might just be my crazy overuse of the back brake.
