IRD Technoglide Threaded Bicycle Headset - 1 inch Review

IRD Technoglide Threaded Bicycle Headset - 1 inch
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The bearings work exceptionally well, and they are completely sealed cartridge bearings. The top adjusting race and lock nut require a 1-1/8" open end wrench to tighten properly since they are eight sided nuts and a standard six or twelve point socket will not fit on them.
The entire bearing is well constructed, strong, and very light. My only complaint is the upper and lower bearing cups (external races) fit loosely on the head tube. They do work extremely well even with this issue. My forks quill has a bend to it and would bind up when spinning the bars with the stock bearings, but spin easily and freely with this headset.

MKS Lambda Platform Pedal Review

MKS Lambda Platform Pedal
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
These pedals were apparently made by MKS with design input from Rivendell Bicycle Works, the traditional/retro-grouch bicycle shop and boutique bike maker run by Grant Petersen. Rivendell calls these the Grip King Pedals, and as near as I can tell these are the same product.
Go to rivbike.com to read Grant's rant about clipless pedals, which he calls the "great shoe ruse," and his impassioned argument about why it's silly to use clipless pedals/cleats on bicycles (unless you're racing).
I'm not ready to drink the Rivendell Kool-Aid and give up my clipless pedals, but these MKS Lambda pedals are really a nice change of pace. They allow you to ride a bike with "normal" shoes, but they still give you enough grip that your feed won't slide around. Because of the wide platform surfaces, they also avoid pressure on your feet and help you avoid foot pain or "hot spots" which sometimes can occur when riding bikes w/cleats.
They appear to be well made, and are not as heavy as you might think from looking at the photo (though certainly not as light as good clipless pedals).

Shimano BL-R550 Flat Bar Road Brake Lever Set Review

Shimano BL-R550 Flat Bar Road Brake Lever Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
They work as advertised and were easy to install if you know your way around a bike. My single-speed is no longer a drop-bar bike, now it's a practical "city bike" with salvaged bars from an old 3-speed. Works for my pushing-50 wrists and neck. If they looked a little more "retro" and less "MTB" for the same price I'd have given them 5 stars.

NO LENGTH WAS SPECIFIED. BIKE IS A SMALL TRACK BIKE (49 CM). ADAPTER WAS TOO LONG. AFTER GRINDING OFF NEARLY AN INCH IT FIT NICELY AND WORKED WELL.
SELLER WAS MORE INTERESTED IN FEEDBACK THAN SATISFACTION.

Zefal Bicycle Toe Straps (Leather, 370mm) Review

Zefal Bicycle Toe Straps (Leather, 370mm)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I'm a big fan - paired with the MKS Sylan pedals and MKS clips, the Christophe straps look incredible. The straps are made of high-quality leather, and the silver embossing/stamping is to die for.
Don't hesitate. Purchase these.

Inexpensive, and built a little cheaply as well. After removal of the handlebar binder bolt, it did not want to thread back into its hole. How simple is that? But quill stems are rare, so I am thankful that it exists.
