Reviews of XLC Boxed Tube, 26 x 1-3/8, SCHRADER

Customer Ratings:

I am new at fixing up bikes, but my current bike demands that I get good at it fast. Everything on that frame needs to be replaced. First on my list was tires and tubes, since my old tubes could not even stay inflated for an entire ride.

So I ventured out to purchase my first tubes, and selected these.

They arrived in fantastic conditionthe rubber hadn't changed texture, flexibility, or density, so these hadn't been exposed to improper conditions during storage.

They were easy to install, and inflate readily. They have yet to spring a leak, even after weeks of riding over gravel and broken glass, although part of that has to do with my tires as well.

A great buy, and I will be buying these again once I need new tubes.

Works like it should, I don't see any drawbacks to buying this brand and it's the best price on amazon for this hard to find, odd size tube.

The tube was of good quality and holds air. I don't know how it worked out because I gave it away to a teen that didn't have a bike.

Ran with the InStep Flash for the first time today. We had the InStep Run Around LTD for a while, sent it back under warranty and they replaced it with the Flash. My husband and I both run 2-3 times a week with our 18 month old, avg of 3-5 miles per run.

Pros:

Attractive orange and gray look great.

Folding very easy folding mechanism, much easier than the old model.

Storage basket very deep and roomy, holds lots of items securely.

Padded seat not actually very "padded" still feels hard, but better than nothing.

Sturdy seems overall stronger and more sturdy than previous model.

Cons:

Handle height I am 5'2" and found the handle to be too high for my comfort. I didn't have as much leverage to make turns, which made steering more difficult. Also, the handle is hard plastic (not cushioned foam), which with sweaty hands, can be uncomfortable and difficult to grip.

No shocks The Flash has no rear shocks, which I feel made for a smoother ride and easier turning with the Run Around.

Bulky can't really specify here, other than to say for a short person, it just felt cumbersome to maneuver/fold/attach and the remove wheels.

Folding takes some practice to get the hang of it. The storage basket needs to collapse a certain way in order for the stroller to fold correctly. Also, the seat back needs to be in the flat/reclined position.

Also worth mentioning I drive a Corolla and was able to fit the stroller in my trunk with the rear wheels removed (which is easy to do). Also, the stroller may veer a bit to one side or the other, but a quick adjustment to the front wheel will help that (though repeated adjustments may be necessary). The manual gives instructions for adjusting the front brake, which I did adjust slightly. It was a little tricky, but doable. The brakes are a little squeaky but do work well.

Overall, this feels like a decent quality, solid jogging stroller (as far as "budget" joggers go). It's not terribly comfortable to run with, but it's probably reasonable for shorter runs (2-4 miles). As long as my child is happy (which he was), I can live with it. For the price, I think it's a good deal.

I love the look, the color, the style but every time I'd take it out for a jog with my 1 year old, it kept pulling more and more to the left. I've emailed the manfacturer hoping for some advice, still haven't heard back. Disappointed that I spent my hard earned money on this....

We had to return it because it steered to the left substantially....so much so that the hand brake could not engage properly. The front wheel was fairly bent...not sure if it shipped that way or was damaged in shipping!

Radio Flyer Classic Red Tricycle with Push Handle Review

We bought this tricycle for our three-year-old and had the same problem as everyone else here has the steering on the handlebars just doesn't stay put. We've had to adjust ours numeous times too. It gets used, but it just isn't all that safe. You HAVE to use a helmet with this guy because it's VERY easy to tip over, which is a huge deal for the age group for which this is intended. It's nice that they kept the classic styling but there's one thing they shouldn't have kept how dastardly easy it is to get your foot under that back bar and scrape the top of your foot! I did that a zillion times as a kid and now, I'm doing it again with my child's bike! I HATE that! And, I have the scars to prove it.

All-in-all, if you like nostalgia, then by all means, avail yourself of this product. But quite frankly, I'd buy something else more study. I definitely DO NOT RECOMMEND anyone letting their child use this product unsupervised. It just tips over way too much. I get the willies each time I see this guy go down the driveway. Good thing I've been there each time this thing has tipped over.

My 20 mo old son loved riding this bike in [a local toy store], which is why I chose it. I think he liked it because the seat was high and he could push himself with his feet. He's not yet able to use the pedals. I have a smaller plastic trike, which he never uses because it's too low to the ground and too hard to push himself. My only complaint is that the handlebars have a locking slide button and they're hard to install. Maybe I did something wrong but our handlebars move around and I think that I may have stripped the screw trying to keep them tight. I think that the bike would have been better without the locking mechanism anyway(which is used to lock the front wheel when you use the push bar to push your child.) What kid actually lets you push them anyway? Mine won't let me touch that pushbar. He'd rather keep pushing around with his feet.

This is a fantastic classic trike. It's very sturdy, good-looking, and a lot of fun for a toddler.

The push bar attaches very firmly and is an adjustable length, which means that it works well for parents of all heights. This model doesn't have the "steer using the push bar" feature of other models, but it's simple to take control of the steering by simply pushing down slightly on the bar to take the front wheel of the trike off the ground (taking care that your toddler doesn't slide backwards, of course).

My two-year-old is tall (36") and just reaches the pedals; I wouldn't recommend this particular model for kids under the 36-inch mark if learning to pedal is a goal. My son loves to put his feet on the pedals while an adult pushes the trike using the push bar. I think that's a great combination for kids who are learning to pedal; it lets them get a feel for the motion of pedaling while they're still developing the strength and coordination to be able to take over for themselves.

This tricycle doesn't have all the features of other models (e.g., seatbelts, freewheeling pedals), but I wasn't looking for that in a trike. I was looking for a trike that would start teaching my son a little more independence (e.g., pedaling and steering) as well as teaching him to take some responsibility for his own safety (e.g., wearing a bike helmet, being careful about how he gets on and off). And this trike is small enough that even if he does take a spill, I think it's unlikely that he'd be seriously hurt.

Overall, this is a great, sturdy, old-fashioned tricycle at a great price.

Honest reviews on Radio Flyer Classic Red Tricycle with Push Handle

I bought this particular trike for my 22 month old and wanted to stick with the "classic americana". What a mistake! If I still had the receipt, I would return it. This trike tips very, very easily. It is difficult for a younger child to learn to steer, therefore, the adult push bar SHOULD come in handy. However, on this particular model, the adult push bar is completely useless. You cannot assist with steering, if you do, you will tip your child. The adult push bar is only useful for a straight line ride. I wish I had bought a more durable, sturdy trike!

I bought this trike for my son who is just under 2 years old. I attached the extension bar at first so he could get the hang of pedaling. He is avg height and can reach the pedals, but still cannot make it go. He has fun just making it go with his feet on the floor. He soon will be old enough to pedal by himself. This is an excellent beginners tricycle, and the seat extends for older kids. This is the trike to buy.

Reviews of Razor Spark DLX Scooter

Customer Ratings:

We bought this scooter for my daughter's 6th birthday last winter. I found it in a store for 75% off and only paid about $20 for it. She couldn't wait for winter to be over and rode it every day. No one in the neighborhood had the same scooter with the sparks and light up wheels. It looks much cooler at night. Just last week someone stole her scooter after ten months of riding it and she loved it so much, we had to replace it. She uses this scooter more than her bike, skateboard, or anything else. The sparks will last a while if they don't overdo it. She used the sparks alot at first but now only uses it to show off to other kids. There is a marker that tells you when you need to replace the cartridge. In ten months we were just about to buy a new cartridge before it was stolen. Everything else was very durable and we had no problems with it. The wheels looked just as great after daily use as they did when the scooter was new. She rides it to and from school everyday, to all her friends houses, and on our daily walks with our dog. I don't know anyone that uses their scooter as much as my daughter, plus she does all kinds of tricks, and it still held up very well. I would definetly recommend any razor scooter, especially this one. My daughter loves all the attention she gets on it, especially from the "big kids" who tell her how cool her scooter is.

We bought this scooter for my son's 5 year birthday. He loves it. The scooter seems well made and it does light up quite a bit. I have no complaints with the scooter whatsoever. However, I really feel that Razor customer service was poor. I received my scooter without an extra spark cartridge (which is advertised on the box as being included with the scooter). When I called customer service to ask them to send me my replacement cartridge, they refused. They said they do not offer this any more and the scooter only should come with one cartridge. Well, this is flat out lousy service in my opinion. Razor claims (when you call them) that they pride themselves on excellent customer service. Their actions do not reflect their words. I would buy this product again, as it is a quality product--just don't expect Razor to do the right thing if you ever have to call them.

Honest reviews on Razor Spark DLX Scooter

My 6 yr old asked for this last Christmas. He was thrilled to get it, but honestly his older sister uses it more. The scooter itself is nice. I LOVE that it folds up for easy storage. It seems fairly durable-owned it almost a year and still in very good shape. The sparks are fun, but the kid riding the scooter has to look behind them to see the sparks. Not exactly a good idea for younger kids. Usually the kid not riding the scooter enjoys the cool sparks and the kid riding doesn't even see them. Overall, it's a good purchase just not quite as exciting as we had imagined.

Cheap Park Tool HHP-3 Home Mechanic Bearing Cup Press

Today's Bonus: 13% Off

Hmmm, looks suspiciously like a piece of threaded rod, two washers and two nuts. Waaaaait a minute...that is exactly what it is! In fact, this is exactly the set-up I use for a headset bearing installation tool. Only I bought a piece of threaded rod (3/4 dia.), two thick washers, and two nuts from a hardware store. And it only cost me about $5.00.

Well, the handles welded to the Park Tool nuts means you don't need a wrench, but with the $50.00 you save by buying the threaded rod, washers, and nuts yourself, you can buy a nice wrench set, eh?

Oh well, I suppose if you have money to burn, this tool is for you. For the rest of us, buy the threaded rod, nuts, and washers yourself and save $50.00. It will work just as well. I know, because that is what I do.

I am sure the Park Tool works fine, as I own some Park Tools and they are all good tools, but this particular tool is incredibly over-priced for what it is. So it gets a one star rating.

I bought this hoping to save some money on shop services, but this thing was an absolute nightmare to use. I was pressing in a a zero stack Cane Creek headset and it took two guys to get this thing to press it in. Save yourself a ton of trouble and get the Sette one, it is the same price and it has a quick release on one end (real pain to screw this thing on and off) and it has an incrementally sized press plate cone that would hold the press in place on the cups. The biggest problem with this thing is that it slides on the cups causing them to tip. The threads are also coated with something that makes it nearly impossible to twist the handles the first time on. Anyways, I hated this tool, wish I could return it...worthless.

I have lots of Park Tools and many of them are nice, but this one was dead on arrival. By that, I mean, one of the handles will not even screw onto the threaded rod. It goes on a few threads then won't budge. What burns me up the most is that the factory sent this to me without even checking to make sure all the parts work together. I could make a fuss and return the item, but considering the cost to ship it back I think I'll take it like a bad meal in a restaurant...no complaints, but no second meal either. Sorry Parky.

I haven't bought this tool, but $50 for a threaded rod with some washers is ridiclous. I suppose if it cost Park a lot of research and development capital to make this tool, maybe it would be worth that.

I just went to Home Depot and built my own. One 1' length of 1/2" threaded rod, two 1/2" nuts, two 1/2" washers, and two 3/4" threaded washers. Total cost was less than $4! Perhaps I should buy a welder and start welding handles to the nuts, then sell these in direct competition to Park at half the cost, and still make a profit...

I have 3500 miles on them so far this summer. They are very smooth riding, with no significant signs of wear. I have ridden in rain and hot weather. They have not exhibited any bad habits, or uneven wear. They should get at least 10,000 miles at the current rate of wear. That figures out to $.02 per mile for the pair.

Discount Sram 3.0 Comp Twister Mountain Bike Shifter Set

Customer Ratings:

Don't buy this shifter set and expect it to work if you have a Shimano rear derailleur beause it wont. It's designed for a Sram rear derailleur which has a different ratio than the Shimano unit.The front shifter will work fine with a Shimano front derailleur. It's the rear shifter that won't work. The proper shift set for Shimano derailleurs is Sram MRX Comp. I solved my problem by purchasing a MRX Comp rear shifter from the local bike store. Once the proper parts were installed, the shifters worked great.Much better then what I had on the bike originally.

I used these shifters to update the drivetrain on my bicycle and they work well. They seem durable. I have had some slight trouble adjusting the front derailleur to my satisfaction, but I'm hardly an experienced mechanic and I've gotten it worked out for the most part. Note that these are designed to work with a specific type of SRAM derailleur with a 1:1 shift ratio. Make sure you have the right drivetrain if you are going to order these.

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.
