• Avenir Universal XL Rear Rack (Black, Universal) May 13, 2012
  This rack looks great, and if my bike had all the appropriate mounting holes it would be awesome. Unfortunately, it doesn't. The rack comes with additional hardware that isn't mentioned in the instructions, and I was able to make use of it to mount the rack, but the instructions said that if I didn't have the lower mounting holes, they ...

• Cheng Shin C783 City Tire 26" X 1.50" Wire Bead Black Wall May 13, 2012
  It's a cheap tire, but it's a great value for the money. It's the right size, mine was free from defects. A little tough to get on my rim, but could be my rim. If you want to get a tire on the cheap, I recommend this one. ... […]
• Shimano PD-6700 Ultegra SPD-SL Pedal May 13, 2012
  I tried these to compare my Speedplay pedals. The Ultegra is a really stable, well-constructed pedal with a spectacular reputation. His foot is actually blocked, and hoped the Sprint that do not throw. BUT it is not for me. The float is centered, which means that although there are 6 grades of flotation, the clara requires some force to use ... […]
• Shimano PD-M324 Clipless/Clip Pedals May 13, 2012
  I ride 15 miles each way to work in Chicago almost on a daily basis in a commuter bike fast. They finally broke and he had purchased these clip pedals then riding regular pedal flat without cages or clips for a few years. The good news: They are trimmed in brand a big difference. More power, feels great. You can get them really easily. I ... […]
• Sunlite Bicycle Folding Pedals, 9/16 in, pair May 13, 2012
  I bought these pedals for my Dahon speed-8 bike after the originals were broken. I did not expect much from a ~$15 pedals and these are way better than my expectations. I am using my bike to comute from home to train, train to office and back. I fold my bike on the train and in the office, so that ends up with a lot of folding and ... […]
• Cheng Shin C732 Road Bike Tire (Wire Bead, 27" x 1-1/8", Black Wall) May 13, 2012
  So far this tube has been great: very light, grips the road great with low rolling resistance. It also seems to be pretty fairly puncture resistant, no flats in about 100 miles, and I ride on some pretty rough roads. This tire easily contends with more expensive counterparts, but for around $10 you can't go wrong. Perfect for a commuter or ... […]
• Crank Brothers Bicycle Cleat (Premium) May 13, 2012
  I've accumulated over 20,000 road miles on three different bikes using four pairs of shoes outfitted with Crank Brothers cleats. When installed correctly, they snap in and release nicely. I have never had an unintentionally release, nor have I ever had a pair wear out. ... […]
• Blackburn Mars 1.0 Flasher Rear Bicycle Light May 13, 2012
  I have the Blackburn Mars 1.0 mounted on my rear rack. I would like it fine, except that when the batteries need replacing, the plastic cover is difficult to remove. It needs no tool except a coin, but too much force is need to pop the case open and care is needed not to "strip" the slot where the coin fits. ... […]
