Maxxis Ignitor Mountain Bike Tire Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I've just started riding the Maxxis Ignitors, so my experience is limited. They seem to be great tires for my area, DC, MD, & VA. I have used Continental Escape, Specialized Roll X, and Hutchinson Bulldogs most recently. I got the Ignitors because of their more rounded shoulder knobs. They give you...

Kenneth Cole New York Men's Mountain Bike Boot Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)So I bought these boots thinking they looked tough and rugged, but also stylish. Well, after less than 2 months of New York winter, the heels started coming off of both of them. Look nice, but not very well made. Try again Kenneth.Click Here to see more reviews about: Kenneth Cole New York Men's Mountain...

Avenir Third-Hand Cable Puller Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is not really a Third-Hand tool. A third hand tool holds the brakes themselves closed. Calling this a 3rd hand tool is incorrect bicycle tool terminology. This is rightly called a FOURTH-HAND tool by those in the know. But that said, this item is a good budget tool for pulling/holding the brake...

M-Wave Plastic Bicycle Bottle Cage Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This waterbottle mount can be used horizontally (as shown in the product picture) on your handlebars, for instance, or used vertically on your seatpost or your frame, etc. It has a small metric hex/allen screw that can be used to change the orientation of the mount. Other than switching orientation,...

Shimano Men's Mountain Bike Shoe - SH-MT42NV (40) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Good experience, Shoes are snug, because I ordered a size down based on other comments (about the brand) and this was spot on. I usually wear a 10.5 but the 9(43) fits perfect. This is my first pair of cycling shoes and would recommend to any one. If this is going to be your first pair of Mtn bike shoes,...

Kenda K40-HP Street Wire Bead Bicycle Tire, Gumwall, 26-Inch x 1-3/8-Inch Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)A pair of (37-590) Kenda K40 "gumwalls" was used to refresh an older Free Spirit bike. Tires mounted reasonably well considering the condition of 30-year-old rims, but make sure the bead is in fact seated evenly before inflating to recommended pressure. A small rib should be visible just above the rim...

Shimano SL-M410 Alivio 8-Speed Shift Lever Set Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)These shifters came on my Trek 4500 MTB. They worked great and never got out of adjustment for a year and a half. Then one day, the right shifter broke and I was unable to shift into higher gears without forcing the shifter into my handgrip. I opened them up to see if I could fix it by pure luck, but...

Saris Bones RS 3-Bike Trunk Mount Rack Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I purchased this rack to haul my bike around. I drive a Cadillac CTS-v. The rack works as Saris markets. I have not hauled three bikes but have done two. No problems what so ever. The rack secures nicely to my trunk lid. The fit is a little awkward as the suction cup brace things don't fit well on the...

Zefal Swan Mountain Bicycle Fender (Black, Front) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Product is poorly made from plastic. The plastic mounting bracket was either too loose or it breaks the plastic mounting bracket. No matter how I adjusted it, it was never far enough above the tire to keep from rubbing the tire when I applied the brakes (this is from the front fork suspension). I am...

Truvativ Firex Trekking 3.3 GXP 175 Crank Set (Blast Black, 48-36-26) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I replaced a much heavier FSA A-Drive, 48-38-28 with the Tru Firex. The external bearings of the Tru are silk smooth. The crank is much lighter and feels very precise on shifts and spins really well and fast. I can do 150 rpm's and above with ease. I simply love my Truvativ Firex 3.3 now. I am a SRAM...

SpareHand Triple Bike Parking Stand Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Okay, we have a new basement, that needed organizing, so I started with our bikes.The box came quickly and I set it downstairs. No more than 10 minutes lapsed and my 7 year old son put the whole thing together. I put all the screws in and tightened them, but he did it himself and without the instructions!...

Vetta RT233 Cycling Computer Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I've installed a number of these, so I didn't find the instructions confusing at all. The steps are pretty straightforward, and are the same for any cycling computer that doesn't have a sensor for pedaling cadence. You mount the head bracket on your handle bars, the sensor on a fork leg, and the magnet...

Sidi Dominator 5 Shoe - Women's Review
