Nathan Bicycle Frame Feed Bag Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This arrived in time for my big ride and I did not have to stuff my pockets! It had room enough for several gels, an energy bar and my camera. The only draw back was it slid back. I was able to tie my camera strap around the handlebar stem to keep it in place but I really wish it had a strap to do that. Other than that I was very happy with it.

Easton EA30 Road Bike Handlebar Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)There are several things i like about the ea30 bar from easton. It is incredibly light and the anatomic bend is nice in the drops. however, I think i would've preferred a 46 cm as opposed to the 40 cm i got, but that's certainly not easton's fault. overall a good cheap handlebar. we'll just see if it lasts as i'm hard on my toys.

Aztec Powerlines Compressionless Gear Cable Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'll state right off that I consider myself technically and mechanically adept, and I've been wrenching my own bikes for over 30 years. If you aren't adept, do not even consider these cables (at least as a DIY application). The ugly first - be very, very wary of the exact length of *housing* that you need. The cable and sheath are long enough for any mountain bike application - BUT - some bikes will require a longer housing, and Aztec will piss and moan that you'll need to buy *two* sets to give you enough cable (absolutely NO WAY says this buyer... one set should meet the needs of any bike except for recumbants or tandems). After ranting on the phone, they finally did send me extra housing (but they still wanted to sell it to me - it was only after I gave the "I know ten people, who will each tell ten people..." that they finally broke down. I have a Titus Moto-Lite, and it should be noted that there are two sections of my cable route that are *not* in housings (under the top tube and along the seatstay. Clearly, someone flubbed in the design of the housing length to package. Measure carefully, because there is *no* room for error. The bad (and this is for those who might not be fully coordinated) is that when you're assembling, you *must* be careful to line up each individual metal cylinder the right way - they fit together one way, in one direction. Personally, I had no problems because I was *very* careful, but I could also easily see that with one little slip, you will lose the whole lot all over your garage floor. The good - once you get the right housing length, and get the cylinders all threaded and installed, and everything set just right, you will have *no* problems with this cable set-up. Aside from the expected cable stretch (easily tweaked by the barrel adjuster), I've had flawless operation. After about a year, I did have the outside (clear) housing crack, but this didn't affect performance. Over more time, I did replace the outside housing (with the extra that Aztec begrudgingly sent to me), and I'm back good to go. Because of the cable sheath, which runs the entire length of the cable, from inside the shifter all the way to the securing bolt on the derailleur, I have had absolutely no issues with gumming up (while I do live in the desert SW, I have ridden in a share of rain, mud, etc.). My overall rating is mostly due to the hassle over the housing length... if you address this from the get-go, then I would rate these cables at least a 4-star.

CueClip Cue Clip Map & Cue Sheet Holder Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The cue holder works as advertised--the plastic clip holds your directions firmly--but there does not seem to be any grip on the handlebar. The strap is very simple and innovative in that it is velcro and sticks to itself and is completely adjustable, but it slips and slides on the handlebar. Perhaps they could've included some velcro rubber grips. I have some rubber strips that came with a bike headlight, and they seem to work well with this product if you make the strap as tight as possible.
I really like the idea behind this cue holder because I would always keep a slip of paper with directions in my camelbak, and it was difficult to reach. Now I can put my directions right in front of me the entire time. However, for the price, I wish it not only had a firm grip on my directions but also on my handlebar.

Aztec / Delta Aztec Vibe Wrap System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These are great when you want the traditional look of wrapped bars, yet a bit more squishy. Another option is to get foam grips but they are thicker and would not normally have a wrap on them. With this, it is a thin enough foam that you can wrap it and it has a good ergo shape. It is not so soft that it squishes down to nothing. It has a bit of firmness just like you want.

Topeak Aero Wedge Pack with Fixer (Medium) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The compartment is very roomy and can hold tubes, levers, CO2 tanks, etc. However, the velcro strap around the seatpost has caused me some problems.
I ride on a Specialize Toupe saddle, which is very narrow and has minimal padding. This allows my thigh to run inward toward the seatpost a little more than a more generous saddle would. There has been a tremendous amount of rubbing on the velcro strap. Because the strap has relatively sharp edges, it actually caused a hole in my very expensive Descente shorts on a recent century ride.
If you ride a padded, wider saddle, this shouldn't be a problem, but if you ride a narrow, thin saddle, you might want to look elsewhere for your saddle bag. Most likely you'll need something with a strap that attaches closer to the underside of the saddle or without a strap at all.

Kinetic Power Computer *Wired Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Power computers are useful monitoring exercise activities in order to gauge progress in strength and endurance. Since I had a Kurt Kinetic trainer, I figured that the power computer would maintain similar high standards of quality. It was just the opposite.
The installation was quite simple, and took about 10 minutes to accomplish. Since one would never have the intention of leaving this on one's bicycle, it should have been made as a clip on device. Once it was installed, it worked properly for about 10 minutes. The buttons would operate in a variable fashion, the device would arbitrarily turn off and then on again, resetting all the variables, the speeds would arbitrarily jump around randomly even when pedaling at a constant speed, and it would spontaneously do unpredictable activities. I never was able to have it stable enough for even a single work-out episode and it never gave me even a single item of useful information during the work-out.
My advice to Kurt Kinetic
1) Take this device off the market immediately. It's bad for the reputation.
2) Since you measure only distance with your back wheel device, and that in an indirect fashion, you could get that information exactly by measuring the rotation of your resistance flywheel. The monitor device should be mounted directly to the flywheel and thus obtain exact distances traveled by the bike.
3) The monitor should attach to the bike in a clip on/off fashion to facilitate easy removal of the bike from the trainer.
4) The display need not have so much useless information. It should have only two alternating information screens
a) speed, exercise time for day, total power consumed for day, total distance gone for day. This screen should be easily resetable to zero for each workout.
b) speed, actual time, instantaneous power d(e)/d(t), accumulated total distance. This screen should be more complex to reset to zero.

Mirrycle Road STI Bicycle Mirror Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When you go searching for a mirror for your road bike, you will probably find, as I did, that your choice is mostly of which bar-end mirror to get. I find those mirrors to be too low to see easily and my arm blocks their view as well.
Long ago (though I still have it) Mirrycle made a mirror that mounted onto where the cable comes out of the brake hand grip. So, it was above your hands and not down so low that you had take your eyes off the road and look down to see it. But, brake levers changed and so that product had no market. Following that, I had found a model that clamped with velcro strap around the brake handle. That was in the right place, but made the grip large and feel different and awkward.
So, I was excited to discover online that Mirrycle was making a mirror specifically designed for the Shimano STI brake levers/shifters. I bugged my local shop to get them, but they never did. FInally in January, I gave up on the local shop and decided to go online to buy, only to discover that they had been pulled from the market. Seems the original design was failing (breaking) sometimes. I kept watching and finally found one shop get them in back stock and bought it - presumably a modified design (hasn't broken).
Installation of the mirror is pretty straight forward. It is well designed to attach to the STI handle using the features that are molded in place to hold the rubber grip in place. I have to say that Mirrycle could do their less mechanically inclined folks a favor by assembling the mirror a bit more in advance. You basically get a bag of parts. 3 screws, 6 washers, 3 plastic tubes, mirror, and a crumpled up instruction sheet. I didn't have any trouble putting it all together in about 5 minutes with the included allen hex wrenches, but I am an engineer and enjoy such things. I am sure others might be frustrated by it.
In use, I am again very pleased to have a mirror that is easy to find in my field of view, so I can actually see cars while my eyes are on the road. You do have to play with the screw tightness a bit to get where the mirror stays in place without it being so tight that it will break when pushed hard rather than turning. I have started erring on the loose side.
I do notice that road vibration can be a bit annoying as compared to the more rigidly mounted bar-end mirrors leading to a fuzzier view - this is what prevents me giving it a full 5 star rating. Personally, I think this is a worthwhile tradeoff for being able to see it well. I know of no better mirror on the market.

Developed exclusively to fit Shimano STI shifter/brake levers, the Mirrycle Road STI bicycle mirror makes it easy to tell when a car is pulling up from the rear. The mirror is easy to mount: just pull the rubber hood off the Shimano STI lever clip, slip the mirror base over the top, and then replace the hood. Once mounted, the mirror is located in the best possible position for watching the road behind. Just a flick of your eyes allows for a quick view of approaching cars or other cyclists. Best of all, the mirror doesn't get in the way of the STI levers, so you can shift and stop safely at all times. The Mirrycle road mirror--which attaches to either the left or right side lever--comes with all the necessary tools and is engineered to fit almost any STI lever.

Bell StowAway Bicycle Seat Bag Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just used the bag for the first time this morning, and here's what I was able to fit inside:
A large cookie
A breakfast bar
A plastic (grocery) bag
A sunblock bottle
My iPod with 2 accessories attached
It was crammed full, but that's quite a bit of stuff. It's not quite large enough to fit a sandwich tupperware, but I think I can fit a sandwich in there as long as it's just in a plastic bag.
The bag attaches easily to the seatpost with a velcro strap, and also has 2 velcro straps on top which can attach to the seat itself. I don't think the bag budged during my 1-hour bikeride even having all that stuff inside. Since it's so easy to attach, I just took the whole bag off and brought it with me after my ride!

InStep Sync Single Bicycle Trailer, Green/Gray Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We bought this for our 13 month old daughter. Several years ago we purchased a bike child seat that attached to the rear of the bike. That was a disaster. Too heavy, akward, and very uncomfortable for the child. So we looked at trailers instead for our youngest. Most of the trailers have two seats, but from what I read and saw in stores, the seats are extremely small and it's not realistic to fit two kids in the trailer together. Plus we only have one kid who isn't riding their own bike. I didn't want to haul around the extra room and weight if the space wasn't needed.
Setup was fairly easy. The instructions to install the hitch to the bicycle are good, and I had it attached within about 15 minutes of setting up the trailer itself. I also bought a second coupling so my wife and I can quickly switch the trailer between bikes.
There is plenty of room for a single child, and strapping my daughter in there was easy. The seat bottom has tension adjusters to keep the trailer bottom from sagging, although there's no way the floor would ever drag. The real beauty of this is once you get your child strapped in and attached to the bike. Unlike the child seat, I had no idea the trailer was behind me. The weight is hardly noticable. The ride is smooth, there is no jerking, it corners naturally, and my daughter sits in the trailer with a huge smile on her face. Some of the bike rides have been lengthy for a one year old - up to an hour, and so far she's never started fussing while being towed around. There is also a small amount of cargo space behind the seat. Enough for a diaper bag or some water bottles.
Overall we're very happy we found this unit. The price and weight were less than the double units, and so far no problems with performance.

Stella Azzurra Eleganza Tape Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I normally run Fizik Microtex tape on my handlebars. However I really thought that the Stella Azzurra had a nice look and decided to order it. I ordered the Eleganza in Blue/White. This is really nice looking tape with a good feel and good looking finishing tape and bar ends. The tape looks great on my bars and it has some padding so there is no need for bar gel. The tape was really difficult to wrap. You really need to take your time and not rush. Once the job is complete though, the tape looks outstanding! The Fizik tape lasts FOREVER! Hopefully this tape will prove just as durable.

CycleOps Riser Block for Indoor Bicycle Trainers Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Strangely, I ordered the riser block, but received the climbing block in the mail. Not that it matters, same price, same overall function. This product does exactly what it claims, and honestly, I don't think the CycleOps trainer can be used comfortably without it. If your front wheel isn't propped up on something, you'll be in an oddly downward facing position at all times, which I can't imagine would be desirable. One complaint would be that the different slots for the tire aren't marked or numbered in any way to let you know which setting you've used, so I feel like everytime I set up the trainer, I need to spin the block around and sit the bike in it, then look at the angle the bike is at, then reposition if necessary. It's just molded plastic, is it too difficult to have a little number 1, 2 and 3 set into it somewhere? Sort of annoying, but aside from that, the block is good. It even helps keep the bike upright while you're playing around properly securing the back wheel to the trainer.
