Why Christino Suspension Violin Shaped

admin — Thu, 07 Oct 2010 00:14:18 +0000

‘this product is a lot of fun to use. I think it lives up to its reputation although nothing is perfect and you cant keep everyone happy. It has a lot of the same features that the iPhone does but it’s not a phone. It is wifi enabled so you can do your email. One problem is that your wifi is not available or is having security problems then, you can’t access any of the apps..specifically those that are tied into the web. Of course, there are apps you can use, in which you have at your fingertips….games to play, music to listen to, videos to watch that you don’t need wifi access. The first extra I bought was a decent case, well worth the money to protect it. The case allows me to stand it on it’s side to watch videos and movies, and is made so it’s doesn’t slide around. The screen protector is like having a matted glass over a picture, and helps keep the fingerprints from being such a pain. I ordered this after watching my friend having fun with his, I had to get me one, however, being I already have an old one, I had to give it away my old one to a friend, I thought I would stick with Apple and get the Touch. It is a great tiny computer. It does live up to expectations that Apple has touted. I am mainly a music lover that totally loves the iPod music setup, but I am starting to really like the applications also. Apple has almost what seems an endless amount of apps to choose from and I am sure that more are on the way.

Dual-Suspension GMC Topkick Mountain Bike headache

admin — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 14:23:18 +0000

very poor shiftings. The bike looks great, GMC Topkick Dual-Suspension Mountain Bike has a decent height; nonetheless, the shiftings are horrendous, the bike is heavy and slow, if you can get this for 150 then go for it, but it should be used for sidewalks or perhaps 25 mph on the road. Don’t even think you can climb hills with this bike, it’s literally impossible. I bought this piece of crap for commute biking and I’m starting to think it was all a huge mistake. Sigh, just stay away from this one if you are using as a transport vehicle for work or schools specially if there are hills in your town. One other thing do not expect to go more than 35 mph YOU CAN’T

Good, but not great.. I paid for overnighting my package, which didn’t arrive for two days, but that’s besides the point. The assembly was simple. It took me some time figuring out how to adjust the disc brakes and get them aligned, but once they were, they work great. I’ve had the bike for a couple of weeks now and taken it on road and trails.

Pros:Awesome look, good suspension, smooth ride, nice brakes.

Cons:painful seat, heavy(its makes a big difference when you’re trying to go uphill), shifters kind of crapy. I was surprised how they jump in and out and have a hard time staying on the right track. I might need them looked at and pay for them to be aligned.

All in all, I’m happy and will have a nice ride for a year or two. I probably won’t buy a bike online again. I think it’s more important to be able to ride the bike and feel how it rides and handles vs. just getting a good price and selection. Thanks Amazon!

Great. This is a great bike.

However, the shipping dented the chain and it costed me 40 dollars to get it repaired/new one. I called amazon and they gave me a refund for the money i had spent in no time. I have to say, amazon customer support is great (at least off holiday season).

Mountain Mens Grays Dual-Suspension Peak Pacific Bike beta

Great price but falls apart.. If you want a cheap bike to just get you around every once and awhile this is a good bike. When Pacific Grays Peak Mens Dual-Suspension Mountain Bike comes you must assemble the front wheel, handle bars, pedals and seat, and pump up the bike tires. The assembly was fairly easy but the brakes on the bike and wheel alignment are very off. The tires are fairly crooked and the brakes are very difficult to adjust, even the bike shop couldn’t do it. The handle bar comes loose in two areas and I’m afraid one time I’ll pull the handle bar out when driving in the street. It’s not a bad bike to get you somewhere for cheap.

very poor breaks. I bought both the women’s and men’s models. The break pads refused to stop the bike even with professional adjustment. I replaced all the break pads with Shimano pads ($32.00), and lo and behold! the bikes now stop properly. The gears work fine, but the suspension on the forks is weak. If you can find a bike with Shimano parts, and a better “name brand” I would go for it…the Mongoose we bought at $99.00 is a much better bike without changing anything – it acutally works as it should.

It is what they say it is. No tricks. It arrived on time. It was almost put together except for the seat and handle bars. I am happy with it.

Take Girls Bike Mountain Dual-Suspension Tuscon Pacific

GREAT Service from Amazon. This is a good kids bike. It is not a performance bike by any means but very good for the money. The important part is this: The bike was delivered on time and was very easy to asssemble. Unfortunately once I had Pacific Tuscon Girls Dual-Suspension Mountain Bike together I realized that the freewheel was defective. This was a present for my Daughter’s birthday which at that time was 3 days away. I contacted Amazon via thier online process and they had a new one arrive at my home THE NEXT DAY with no questions asked. What great service! The second one was just fine and we still had it in time for her birthday. UPS picked up the defective bike at my front door and I didn’t even have to pay any additonal shipping for the replacement or the return. Kudos to Amazon! I don’t think I would have had customer service that good if I walked into a retail store. Buy with confidence! Amazon will make sure you are satisfied.

Nice Bike. Ordered and received this bike very promptly; however, like one of the other reviewers, the back tire inner tube has a hole and will not inflate… have to take it to a bike shop to fix. Aside from that, this is a nice bike.

Gears keep slipping off.. This is a great bike for the money. We basically bought it because we wanted our daughters next bike to have gears. The problem is that the gear keeps slipping off for no apparent reason and it gets wedged inbetween the smallest gear and the frame and is pretty difficult to get unstuck on the road. When this happens the bike just stops working but we started carrying tools with us to fix it. Arn’t sure how to fix it but will keep playing with it.

Other than that it fits our 51″ child perfectly with the seat as low as it goes and then we have lots of growing room in it. Shocks on the bike work well also. Kickstand is a little difficult to get up.

This big is also very heavy for its size so it is hard for our daughter to get it up our 2 front steps.
