Electra Bicycle Bell Townie

WTB Momentum Bicycle Pedals

Bought this a few weeks ago and we played with all the family (including 3 grandkids) on vacation. Everyone loved it and we had a blast. Now playing it with friends back home, and couldn’t have more fun!
BICYCLE LIGHT ACCLAIM TURN

Awesome pump and very easy to use. Just a few hard strokes and you’re up to 120 psi. Dial is easy to see and use as well
Serfas TCPG Bicycle Floor

I order these mirrors for my wife trike/bicycle ad they look great on it.Easy to put on and adjust.I like these so much I may order my self a pair of them for my trike that I am building here.
Sunlite Bicycle 3 Round

Overall this seat is comfortable. It’s pretty much standard size. I was hoping it would be wider than it is. What they’ve done is simply give it a little better cushion than standard. The central groove really does seem to make a difference, too.
Sunlite Cloud 9 Bicycle

I’ve mounted it backwards under the rack. Provides splash protection and doesn’t protrude beyond rack.
Topeak MTX DeFender Bicycle

This unit is used by my 12-year old daughter, who loves it. She uses it mostly for programs, not music. Go figure.

Biggest downsides:

1. Large for a music player, but then again, it’s not really for music, now is it?
2. Needs iTunes (although there are alternatives out there). iTunes is absolutely frustrating and works in a non-intuitive way for people who can think (i.e., Windows users). Even my daughter, who doesn’t have pre-conceived notions about Mac vs. Windows doesn’t understand how iTunes is set up.

Serfas Tegu Bicycle Saddle

I Bought this tool as a gift, and asked it to be delivered directly to the person it was for. First I was concerned about the seller saying they needed 4-5 days extra for processing, but at the end, they delivered the product almost a week sooner than expected. The tool is excellent as I’ve had absolutely no complains about it and it has all the necessary keys for basic bike maintenance and tune-up. My girlfriend was able to complete her preassembled bike and made brake tune-up in about two hours with my remote help (and this was her first time as a bike mechanic!). The tool’s design is very clean and is easy to handle, it allows for very good torque even from small hands. I would recommend this tool for anyone with beginner to intermediate skills in bike mechanics, or if you prefer to have(carry) separated tools like a chain cutter, tire levers, etc. For beginners it’s excellent since it doesn’t have “too much”.
Crank Brothers Multi Bicycle

We noticed the great reviews for the product and ordered one. Unfortunately when it came we noticed the warning on the package: This product, its packaging and components contain ingredients known to the State of California to cause Cancer and Reproductive Harm!
Thanks Garmin. With the billions of dollars you are making you couldn’t cough up the bucks to make a product that doesn’t cause Cancer and Make it impossible for people to have kids!
I’m sure it would cost a few cents more per mount to make one without the Cancer causing ingredients but it just goes to show you where Gamrin’s priorities are.
I’m thinking about returning my Garmin GPS even. For all I know maybe that is cancer-causing too. Garmin put up a Website about it. Maybe instead of putting up Websites, you could get rid of the Cancer-causing and reproductive-harming ingredients!
Kudos to the State of California for making companies point this out. Finally, someone that is on the side of the consumer.
Garmin, I won’t need a GPS to send this cancer-causing garbage back to you to get my refund!
