Buying GMC Denali Women's Road Bike (20"/50cm Frame)

I bought this bike to replace a more expensive one which was stolen, and because I am entering my first sprint triathlon this summer. Its a good bike, was realively easy to assemble with a few allen wrenches and an ajustable wrench, took me about 30 minutes. The gears are relatively smooth, skipped a bit at first, but that's probably normal on a new bike. All in all, good value.Get more detail about GMC Denali Women's Road Bike (20"/50cm Frame).

Park Tool FR-1 Freewheel Remover for Shimano Freewheels Immediately

It's a pretty simple tool, but you can't remove a freewheel without it. Like most Park Tool products I've used, this is a good quality piece and it fit snugly and precisely in my Shimano freewheel. I used a medium-sized crescent wrench to turn it, which any serious bike mechanic really should have.Get more detail about Park Tool FR-1 Freewheel Remover for Shimano Freewheels.

Avenir Metro Panniers (1,380 Cubic-Inch Capacity) This instant

These panniers work perfectly. There is room for a lot stuff in each side, They fit on the back of my bike and don't get caught on anything while I'm riding. They are easy to put on and take off. I like the reflective fabric on both the sides and back. There are 2 hooks that hang between the bag and the bike I haven't figured out a good placement for, but they don't seem to be necessary. I have had a number of panniers over the years and these are the first ones I've had that really work.Get more detail about Avenir Metro Panniers (1,380 Cubic-Inch Capacity).

Discount Avenir Mini Metro Handlebar Bag (91.5 Cubic Inches)

I thought it can hold a bottle of water. totally wrong. It is just good to hold a lock (mini), a map and maybe your wallet. But too small to hold a normal size bottle of water.Get more detail about Avenir Mini Metro Handlebar Bag (91.5 Cubic Inches).

Buying Avenir Regular Schrader valve 700c Tube (700x35-45)

My two tires arrived as planned with UPS (one of them damaged beyond use and needed to be returned... NOT because of the shipper) but the tubes were sent with a separate shipper (USPS) and were so late in arriving that I had to go get tubes from a local bike shop and pay crazy prices for the same products. Now I have three extra tubes. All around poor experience.Get more detail about Avenir Regular Schrader valve 700c Tube (700x35-45).

Bell Shadow Toddler Bike Helmet (Red - Happy Hippo)

This says "toddler" in the description, but the tag on the helmet says for ages 3+.

This is much too big for my two-year-old, and not as easy to adjust as higher-price Bell Helmets. I kept it because it is a great price and it always handy to have an extra helmet when friends are over.

Try the Bell Boomerang for toddlers instead.

Also, this "red" might be considered "fuschia" by some. My husband saw it and said "where did the new pink helmet come from?" My son loved it (until it fell over his eyes) , but an older boy might balk.Get more detail about Bell Shadow Toddler Bike Helmet (Red - Happy Hippo).

Shimano STX/Alivio Rapidfire Plus 7-Speed Shifter Set Buy Now

I PUT THE RIGHT HAND 7 SPEED ON FOR A WEEKEND RIDE WITH ONE CABLE ADJUSTMENT ON THE REAR DERAILER. THE BRAKE HANDLE ENDED UP HIGHER THAN DESIRED, BECAUSE OF EXTRA BULK NOT BEING INTEGRATED INTO THE EXISTING BRAKE HANDLE. THE CABLE HOUSINGS INCLUDED ARE A LITTLE ON THE LONG SIDE, BUT I ONLY USED ONE OF THEM. I HAD CLEAN SHIFTING ON A 15 MI SPRING BACK BREAKER, THRU THE FOOTHILLS ALONG THE SAN ANDRES FAULT. I PLAN ON USING THE LEFT HAND 3 SPEED SHIFTER ON ANOTHER EARLY 90s HARDTAIL THAT IS MALFUNCTIONING.Get more detail about Shimano STX/Alivio Rapidfire Plus 7-Speed Shifter Set.

Does a great job as a helmet. Light, yet sturdy. Inner lining can be removed easily for washing.
