Mountain Bikes

mountain bikes?

[2007-07-11 14:01:26]

Q: me and the honey are wanting to buy a couple of mountain bikes but not wanting to spend 2 weeks pay/bike.
can anyone tell me or point me in the right direction for decent bikes around the $200 range per bike?
i am leaning toward Mongoose

A: Honestly, I would stray from cheap bikes. I don't have much money right, but I saved up and bought a decent one. On my road bike, I got a loan for it. I know that sounds trite, but I built up my credit in doing so. The reason I say you should stay

It (dosen't) Sucks
Its really hard to draw from. I don't like it and don't use it. The plastic tab you can put around the bottle to hold the cap on has sharp edges. I do not recommend buying this.

Good idea...not so good experience.
I like the fact that it is a spout but it is hard to use. Too difficult to get open and you have to suck for liquid to come out.

Don't buy it.
This seemed like a great idea. When I opened it, I noticed that the little cap that covers the spout smelled strongly of rubber. I figured that would improve after the dishwasher. However, when I started using it, I noticed a strange taste to the water. That little cap was making the water taste bad and it still smelled of rubber. It has now been through the dishwasher five times and I still can't put the cap on. Even just a few minutes is enough for it to affect the taste of the water. You can remove that little cover but it is meant to keep the spout clean and to prevent spills. So I went back to the cap the bottle came with and this cap sits in the dishwasher getting washed over and over and over...maybe some day I'll be able to use it.

Hard to keep clean
Great idea on paper, not dishwasher safe, very hard to keep the spot and under cap area clean. Whistles when you drink from it, too. Very disappointed in this product.

Don't Waste Your Money
The only thing these things are good for, is a quick patch on the road.
They will probably get you home, but the next morning you'll be patching it over again with a real patch.

not reliable
OK for a quick fix. They'll last long enough to get you home. I've used about 6 of them and more than half have failed on me.

Simple, these do not work.
I would give this zero stars if possible. I'll just cut to the chase, THESE DO NOT WORK! Don't waste your money. After patching a tiny puncture the patch failed immediately after applying only 30 lbs to the remounted tire. Removed tire and re-patched using another Skab. The exact same thing occurred. Failure of the patch. These may be cheap and light but they suck at what they are supposed to do, patch an inner tube. I'll probably avoid any Slime brand products from now on.

moneys worth
I put these tubes in some quick roller sports and it seemed that they were a little too big, but it all worked out smoothly in the end, im running them at 60 psi currently. they are that cheap thin rubber either.

Cheap...
These worked for my wheel barrow, but the valves have a slow leak. They need to be pumped up before use. But the price was low, and they served the purpose.

Inadquate or defective operation.
This Nite Dawg Spotlit from puplife replaces one I had for over a year. The design has changed or this unit is defective in that it will stay on, lit for about 30 seconds. Then it turns its self off. Not satisfactory at all.

DOGS AND NEIGHBORS LOVE THIS
THE DOGS LIGHT THE WAY WHEN WE WALK AT NIGHT, IT KEEPS US ALL SAFE

2008-01-19 | NBRADY (USA) | Helpful Votes: 0 | Rating: 5

only if you want to be seen
There is not a lot to say about this nice little light. It is easy to use and very bright. The batteries take a little patience to change but once you do it, you will find them a lot easier to change the second time. The clip works very well, and it will not come off an active dog or person. Enjoy!

Disappointed
I have been looking for the perfect dog safety light for a while. The little blinky lights were hopeless - the twist on-off LEDs fell off and disappeared almost immediately. So I ordered two of these Nite Ize lights. One was "on" when it arrived, so the battery wore out very quickly. The other one worked for a few days, but then kept shutting off and now I can only get it to stay on for less than a minute. Plus it has always been difficult to get out of test mode - I had to keep pressing it on for about ten seconds. What a pain! These might be good if only there was an on/off button or switch. Meanwhile the search continues.

The best pet safety product
For those who exercise their dogs before or after daylight the Nite Ize product I have found to be the best. The flashing feature and brightness draw attention quickly and from a distance that enables drivers to react in time. The product not only protects your pet but their owner as well.
