Bell Cruiser 26-Inch Bike Tire Review

Bell Cruiser 26-Inch Bike Tire
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this Bell Cruiser tire for an older model Trek Singletrack that I'm currently using to commute to work on. I have to admit that I'm surprised at how decent this tire is. It has a road-friendly tread pattern on it, so that I don't feel like I'm trying to bike on knobbies, yet it does grip very well when I do ride on some local trails. It's not even marketed as a multi-use tire, yet it is. Seriously: if you are using an old mountain bike type of bicycle to commute on and want some street friendly tires that work okay on packed dirt trails as well, then try these cruiser tires. I'm very happy with them.

Eleven81 Cross Town Mountain Bike Helmet Review

I've got a big head (24.5")and this helmet fits it. Attractive "commuter" styling fits my city riding style. Appears to be very well made. Chin straps are easily adjustable. Dial fit system works great - snugs helmet up nicely on my big ol' melon and would adjust down to fit smaller sizes also. I'm satisfied and would recommend the helmet to other "big head" riders.

My mountain bike came with Panaracer tubless tires and I refuse to go back to a tubed tires. This has a long lasting treads and handles well in all terains. Now that I have tubeless on my bike I've never had a flat. The price for these tires fits my budget as well.

Schwinn Crest Urban Women's Hybrid Bike (700c Wheels) Review

Schwinn Crest Urban Women's Hybrid Bike (700c Wheels)

This bike is a perfect combination of features:
-substantial wheels stand up to cracks and dips in the road
-adjustable handlebars allow for a more or less upright riding position (I love to cruise with a tall straight spine... hate hunching my back on other bikes)
-shocks on the front wheel and under the seat make for a smooth ride despite potholes
-wide comfortable seat doesn't dig in to the wrong "parts"; instead, there's some nice padding under the sit bones
-plastic guard protects pants from getting caught in the chains
I've been riding my new bike to work every day through the city, where I encounter all sorts of conditions; the bike gets me through them all pretty comfortably. Pedaling up hills has never been easier and I don't even have to stand. The brakes are responsive and smooth. This is a hardcore comfort bike.

Whether you're commuting to work or cruising around town, the Schwinn Crest urban women's hybrid bike offers a comfortably smooth ride. The Crest is outfitted with a 17-inch aluminum hybrid frame and an SR Suntour front suspension fork, helping the bike hold up to shocks from bumpy or rough terrain. The Shimano TX-31 rear derailleur and SRAM 21-speed grip shifters, meanwhile, give you a host of gear options for flat or hilly rides.

Michelin Country Rock Tire (Black, 26x1.75) Review

It's been a few months since I threw these on both my bike and my wife's. So far we've had no flats, and that includes a lot of curb-hopping, and riding on everything from gravel to urban streets to lawns (shhh, don't tell).
If the majority of your riding is on the asphalt and concrete these tires are a terrific way to improve your rolling resistance. They're a breeze on packed dirt, too. I also find them aesthetically pleasing; the tread looks nicer than some of the more expensive tires, and the logo treatment on the side walls is tasteful and timeless.
Just one word of warning; I read a review somewhere before purchasing these that they out rode some knobbies in gravel. I find this highly unlikely. My first week or so on these I came tearing into some gravel at a little bit of an angle and woah, boy, did that get my heart rate up.
Also, I can only give the tires four stars because, while I haven't had any flats, they offer no flat protection.
Overall this is a great, cheap way for you to speed up a mountain bike, and stave off those urges you get every time you stroll by that road cycle in the bike shop.
Don't think I didn't see you.
