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.

Contrary to what the packaging states, these fenders are too narrow to work well with 700x25 tires (at least with the Continental Grand Prixs that I have). I could get the front fender to work in the stand, but they would always rub from and shaking when I hit a bump on the road. Disappointing, as it seems like a well-thought out fender system that would be more secure than many other options out there.

This thing is so bad that I'm not sure if this is better than half a water bottle duct-taped instead. The mounting system is terrible; the main plug is plastic, and the metal nut will strip it before the fender has a chance to get secure. The clearance is horrible with 25's barely fitting (think 1-2mm...) There is no possible way this can be a quick "attach/detach" fender, which is the only reason I bought this in the first place. The reason is again the clearance: with only so little clearance and a thin bendy pos fender, you'll be scrambling to get the alignment just right... only for it to get out of line from a soft breath, due to the cheap plastic nuts holding the metal wires.

It took longer to install these flimsy fenders than doing my incomes taxes including itemized deductions. Wtf?

I was very indecisive about picking a fender for my road bike. It has threaded holes near the rear dropout that will work for a fender, but nothing on the front fork.

It was a toss-up between this, the SKS Raceblade, or the Planet Bike SpeedEZ Road. I run a 23mm front tire and a 25mm rear tire (sounds strange, but I have my reasons). The Raceblade is made for a max width of 23 which would rub on my rear tire, and the Raceblade XL is made for 25-32 which would look really wide and dopey on my front tire.

So it came down to these or the Planet Bike. I chose these partially because they look better than the planet bike, but mainly because they offer an additional attachment point (both front and rear) than the elastic bands.

It took a bit of time to get them adjusted, but they perform very well. I've had no issues of them moving and rubbing my tire. I've been able to stay dry when the road is wet.

A note about the specs....some say these fenders allow a max tire width of 23mm (including the Topeak website!!). But the packaging says it can handle up to 25mm. I can attest that it will work with 25mm as long as you get it adjusted right.

Engages quickly, and runs very quietly. Not quite as quiet as Shimano, but still barely noticable. I run this on my singlespeed "rain bike", and so far, so good on the wet and grungy roads. Good product.

I was extremely pleased with this rain jacket and I found it to be better than other lightweight rain jackets I have had in the past. It is made of a material that resists water but has miniscule breathing ability to allow air and keeps me from perspiring as I did in other rain jackets. The only thing I miss is pockets. This jacket has none. But the hood is detachable and that is an added convenience.

Honest reviews on Frogg Toggs PA63102-01SM Pro Action

I wore out one Frogg Toggs when the zipper broke on the jacket and it was more expensive to replace the zipper than buy a new one. So this one was a replacement for the jacket. The jacket will be used on a fishing trip to Canada. The jacket is fine. The original one had the ability to hide the hood in the jacket. This one the hood can disassemble from the jacket. Otherwise it remains on the back of the jacket. The only other difference is that the material seems to be stiffer. However, with use this may change. All in all, this is a good jacket for rain at a reasonable price.

Review of 2PCS BLUE LED Flash Tyre Wheel Valve Cap Light for Car Bike bicycle

Customer Ratings:

I bought two, and I've had them now for 2 weeks. My use is on a bicycle.

The valve is schrader (not presta). I thought these would illuminate upon

the spinning of the wheel due to the outward force. But in actuality,

in a bicycle application, they do not. They do illuminate (or blink)

upon shock. On a bicycle, when going over bumps at moderate speed, they

do light up and are quite attention-getting at night. Interestingly,

and higher bicycle speeds (>10 mph), even a bumpy road will not make

them light. Perhaps this is because the outward spin force is greater

than the shock (or impluse) force from each bump. The lighting described

above does not matter if it is daylight or night. They survived a 15

minute ride in a moderate rain just fine.

Here's your quick sum-up, for those of you browsing:

Perfect: No

Worth it: Yes

Buy it: Yes

Needless to say, it's Chinese. You can tell that from the grammatically challenged description and title alone. So the construction is a little cheap, and mine came with some flaws; the light sensors don't seem to work, and the lights are solid color, instead of a flash. But I actually still like it.

Cons:

-It's not a solid ring of color as advertised, at least on a bike going 20mph or slower. On a car or moped/motorbike, maybe so.

-Cheap, so parts are a little brittle

Pros:

-Very inexpensive and actually a decent light; it's bright and gets plenty of "oohs" and "ahs" as you ride by

-Screws on snug to valve caps on tires (just kinda convenient in my opinion)

-Hidden among the spokes, so not as likely to be stolen

-Added visibility when driving on the street at night

-The motion sensors are the best part; they're sensitive so they actually work when you start moving, but turn off when you park your bike or stop.

-Just plain fun!

If you want something legitimately stylish and flashy, put more money in and get one of those souped-up wheel lighting kits. But if you're just looking for something simple and cool, this is definitely worth your money.

if i ride too slowly the lights don't light up. after a couple weeks, one of them became much less sensitive than the other and now it only flickers a couple times on each rotation of the wheel. other than this...batteries are holding up well and the lights look cool.

Honest reviews on 2PCS BLUE LED Flash Tyre Wheel Valve Cap Light for Car Bike bicycle

These things are pretty awful. It was built to light up when it was in motion with the circuit being completed through vibration. Upon dissection, I found out that there is a little metal piece that is in a tube that makes contact when it is shook. Sounds good in theory, but the problem is the motion of a bicycle wheel is generally uniform, and not too chaotic. So unless you're biking down a mountain, this thing probably wont light up too much. So I modded it so there is always contact and its on when I want it to be on.

With that said, the light is bright enough and it did screw on to my tire wheel fine. Hence the 2 stars. But that's if you plan on taking it apart and messing with it. Oh and no instructions or anything came with it. So I guess I'm just lucky that I like to tinker with things.

I would buy a different kind.

Be careful, the light does not work on Presta Bicycle Tube Valves(used for slim road bike tires), only Schraeder Bicycle Tube Valve works(mountain bike tires). Also I only received 1 piece, not 2 pieces (for front and back tire).

Avenir Folding Rear Wheel Basket Reviews

It was not made to be installed on rear racks that are more than 1/4 in thick. Mine is about 1/2 in thick, and I had to bend the attachments to them fit. Also, the clasps on the side are a bit tight, and sometimes get stuck when I try to open/close the basket. However, it definitely comes in handy when I go shopping, and generously holds one standard-sized grocery bag.

I like this item and it works as advertised but I wish it locked into shape better because it can rattle around quite a bit if not completely full, which can be annoying/distracting to people like me. Otherwise it does the job as well as any other similar basket.

These baskets are nice and strong. I have placed milk, two liters, pizza and other amounts of things in one basket and it held just fine. Though I suggest that you use extra zip ties to hold them in place so they don't bounce around alot. That's the key to getting good use out of these types of baskets.

PROS: This price is the best I seen for this item. I really like the way the basket folds up and out of the way when you're not using it. Basket construction and paint finish (black) are better than most I've looked at. Using the included P-clips or the cable ties holds the basket on securely and makes the installation pretty simple. When expanded/folded out, I carried about 25lbs of groceries easily. I ended up purchasing a second basket to put on the other side a few weeks later.

CONS: Only a couple of minor things. I found it difficult to fasten the clip used to secure the basket in it's folded position. But to be fair to the product, this probably has more to do with the way I mounted the baskets to the bikes frame, than the baskets themselves. It's very possible the positions I used to attach them caused the basket's shape to warp a little. The second item is, getting the bottom flap's little tab down past all the horizontal ribs to lay flat, I found to be really difficult. However, it is easy to let it rest on the second to last rib. So that's what I'm doing and the basket is still very sturdy. And finally, more of a heads up than a con. I mounted these on the back of the bike and the first time I used them fully expanded, I didn't lift my leg up & out enough to clear the basket.....ouch!

A suggestion if you're looking to purchase this item .... get a 9"X13" flat piece of cardboard and position it where you plan to attach the basket. Check the bike's frame for at least two locations to attach the basket. Good news is...because of the baskets wire design, any part of the basket can be used as a mounting point.
