Planet Bike Flipper Seat Post Quick Release Mount Adjustable Rear Bike Fender Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This fender stays attached well, and accomplishes its main purpose, but the quick release mechanism is a little flimsy. I don't say flimsy to mean that it will break easily, I just mean that since it's mechanism doesn't hold the fender quite as still as I would like it to when riding. It kind of bounces around and can occasionally become dealigned with the tire. I am giving this 4 stars only because it is a good option for such a low price. Had this been a $20 item it would have received 3.

Zefal Z Wing Mountain Bicycle Rear Fender, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My new Raleigh Cadent F1 bike came without a back fender, so I unfortunately kept getting streaks of mud up my back. I ordered the Zefal Z Wing seatpost mounted fender with the hope of resolving this problem. It is wonderful!! No more mud up my back, it stays in place even on bumpy trails, and installs very easily. Recommend to everyone.

2011 GT Karakoram 2.0 29" Mountain Bike Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This bike is an awesome starter bike, hands down.
I spent awhile riding my roomates Giant Rincon (hardtail, disc brakes, basically same thing but 26" tires and cheaper components).
After switching to the 29" tires I don't think I will ever go back, it is amazing what things you can roll over with these tires.
I have had a great time learning how to ride mountains on this bike and I can definately climb hills better than I could on the 26er.
However, now that I got that out of the way, I have some criticism on this bike.
The first criticism (and probably the only bad thing about this bike) are the tires that came on it, I bought this bike from a local bike shop here and I don't know if they picked the tires, but they are skinnier than normal mountain tires. The rationale that the bike shop told me was "with 29 inch tires you don't need them to be wide". I think the tires I have are 1.95" and this can cause some problems if you are trying to learn about shifting your weight. The trails where I live have lots of gravel and coarse loose material and I have had the bike slide out from under me a couple of times going around a sharp corner, I would recommend looking at 29ers that have 2.15" tires (I think that is the next size up). Or perhaps buy this bike and replace the tires.
The aluminum frame is a little too rigid on very bumpy rides, I have taken this bike on a couple of trails that ride on talus for extended periods of time and I was sure wishing I had a full suspension or even a carbon frame bike (which absorb the shock better).
If you are planning to ride expert or advanced trails, I would look at 29er's that are full suspension, or maybe look at the trails you are wanting to ride to check to see if your rear would be hurting after a good ride. As I stated before, this is a great starter bike, but before you get hooked on the 29" tires like me, I would suggest riding a full suspension 26, which you can get for comprable price.

FOX Launch Elbow Pad Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)They fit snug but not too snug and provide great elbow and forearm protection. I recommend getting the size larger than you think you need. I've had problems with protection gear, where I purchased the size the company says is right for me and having it be too small.

Schwalbe 2010 Nobby Nic EVO Mountain Bicycle Tire Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This tires are supposed to be very good, if you use them on the terrain and speeds they were designed for that is.
My issue was that I took them to a new park where trails where not compacted yet so there was a lot of loose dirt and sand and I had gotten the 2.1 thin version of the tire and I was just too slow on certain tricky corners and fell a few times. There was also a lot of thorns the result of which was that I got two flats in a matter of hrs... If you are going to ride in a place where you know there are thorns get the snakeskin version, otherwise the casing is really, really thin.
On the other hand where there was harder, easier ground these tires accelerated notably faster and rolled with less resistance than my 2.35 Kenda Nevegals.
In short, based on my experience these tires have a little too much character. They are not as flexible (multipurpose) as they say in the Schwalbe marketing speech, at least not the 2.1s. I guess they are meant for a better/faster rider than myself.

Thule Big Mouth Bike Mount Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Other than Yakima, who are you going to buy? Anyway, this is alot cheaper than Yakima products, so I like that! Bikes lock in great, and fit tight. In terms of convenience, I would rather have a tailgate type rack, but I don't have a trailer hitch set up so this is it.

Schwinn Adjustable Kickstand Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Got this to replace training wheels on 16" and 20" bikes when the big day came. No problems at all, easy install with a 14mm wrench (to connect to the bike) and Phillips-head screwdriver (to adjust length). Two installs, two happy girls who can now balance and ride their bikes like pros.
The spring-loaded mechanism works fine and seems to hold up well (so far--this isn't a long-term review). The size and length are appropriate for children's bikes. The 16" bike has the adjustment at the shortest length, while the 20" is extended 4 holes (about 30% longer than the small bike). The price is right.
Complaints? The stand could probably be more solid than it is, but it's a little of a blessing in disguise as it's easy for the girls to kick up and down, even barefoot. If there's anything I would change, it's that the stand portion is a bit too vertical (maybe 5 or 10 degrees). The bikes, when stood up, are a little "tippier" than I remember from when I was a kid. By no means a deal breaker.
For training wheel replacement on 16" and larger bikes I would recommend this kickstand.

Klunkerz - A Film about the Development and Birth of Mountain Bikes - DVD Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After finding a trailer for Klunkerz on Youtube, I had to see the movie. I'm glad I did because this was a movie of awesome proportion. The old footage made the film extra cool and made me want to go out and find my own bike trail! I wish everyone could see this film, it could easily revolutionize people's thinking. As usual, one independent film is better than 20 "big films" combined! I want to give a big thanks to the guys that made this film, it was awesome!

I screwed them into a 2x4 to put in the bed of my pickup truck and they work just great. I was surprised at the workmanship quality of this sturdy fork mount. Highly recommend the product.

Sunlite Double Kickstand Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Item as described and heavy duty,.....it was installed and operational on my 26" Schwinn Ranger MB after receiving it, in 5 minutes. Install was a breeze, take off the old, install the new. Fits like a glove. Note: You will need a large allen wrench. Item as pictured only, it does come with an additional longer screw.
I use my Schwinn for road use mainly and don't see a problem, dirt goer's may have an issue since it's just about 5"/6" off the ground when up. Tight cornering might cause you get kicked out/dug in since it protrudes end to end, 10", 5" each side. Just food for thought.
This kickstand was purchased as a recommended part of a ebike conversion, not this particular item, just in general, but I have to say I did pick right. When in use, your bike will have one wheel a few inches off the ground, that's the way it supposed to be. If you got a big heavy bike that falls down alot this kickstand will do the trick keeping it up.
The only thing I foresee happening though are the caps for the ends falling off. You have to kind of figure on that eventually. I'll glue mine in like one reviewer stated. I hope my review was of some help to you.

Sunlite Bottom Bracket Type Bicycle Display Stand Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It's made cheaply both material and the workmanship. It's made of relatively soft metal like chrome colored brass. Bright side of this is it's easy to cut, so if the wheel of you bicycle goes way up high, you can cut it lower with a hack saw with relative ease, at least easier than cutting steel. It supports the weight of a bicycle pretty well but you can't sit on the bike while it's on the stand, of course. Even when I cranked the pedal to the full speed, it was stable to reasonable level. It could have been a better design with hollow aluminium(or good quality steel tube) and lighter and I would have happily paid the higher price for it. The bottom line is this. It's not the most refined looking stand but it works for its purpose and I recommend it to anyone who needs a simple portable bike stand for on location repair or adjustment.
