Almost turns mountain bikes into road bikes

Wed, 11 Feb 2009 09:50:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author consumer2003 - I've been through the range of tires on my MTB - knobby to fat city and now to slicks. Each type was appropriate for the type of riding I was doing. I put the Ritchey 26 x 1.4 Tom Slick VFA tires on my bike about a year ago when I started...

Good Basic Bike Computer

Fri, 9 Nov 2007 10:48:03 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author consumer2003 - This is a good basic wireless computer. I don't restate advertising or stats in my reviews so if you need that information just go online to Cateye. Putting all that stuff here just wastes my time and your time. What you will get from this review are...

You get what you pay for

Fri, 9 Nov 2007 09:09:52 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author consumer2003 - Yes, it's inexpensive, but maybe too inexpensive? Mine only worked for about a year until some parts of the LCD numbers stopped working. So although it still weighs me(and tries to give a body fat index), when the read-out says 187 lbs it could also be...

Impressions of a stationary trainer

Tue, 23 Jan 2007 10:20:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author consumer2003 - It is now January and even though I live in the Mid-Atlantic area the daytime temperatures are often in the 40's. That's pretty cold to have a 15-20 mph wind chill on the bike. Also the days are short and I don't like riding in the dark no matter how...

Should be renamed "Flea Inconveniencer"

Thu, 13 Jul 2006 10:15:10 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author consumer2003 - When I noticed that my cats were afraid to walk on the rugs I realized I had a flea infestation. I tried the frequent vacuuming approach to flea control (that is really a pretty good control method), but it never gets all the fleas and I hate vacuuming...

Great for reducing remote clutter

Mon, 16 Jan 2006 10:27:50 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author consumer2003 - I've had this remote for a year and this will be a review of my long-term experiences with it. This will not be a list of features, which can be gotten from the Sony web site. Remote control clutter finally got to be to much for me when I had remotes...

A Better XM Radio

Wed, 7 Dec 2005 01:21:12 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author consumer2003 - First, if you want technical specs on this radio or the XM service, please go to Audiovox or XM. My reviews are always of my experiences and impressions and do not re-hash advertising copy or spec sheets. Thanks. Having owned a Delphi Roady XM...

Deluo Universal GPS USB connector with Microsoft Streets and Trips 2005 (PRICE DROP ) GPS Receiver: Inexpensive GPS for Laptop or PDA

Mon, 5 Dec 2005 15:40:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author consumer2003 - First, if you want product specs such as GPS chipsets, sensitivity data, etc., please go to the deluoelectronics website. It is easier for you and me both to get that kind of information from the horse's mouth. I try not to duplicate PR or advertising...

Nice Little Oven

Mon, 12 Sep 2005 10:43:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author consumer2003 - I bought this oven so I wouldn't have to fire up the big one for every little thing and I have been very happy with it. It takes a 12-inch pizza with no trouble and I can even fit my small cast-iron skillet in it to make cornbread. It is even tall...

A good MTB tire for the city rider

Fri, 2 Jan 2004 22:56:45 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author consumer2003 - I ride exclusively in New York City so needed a less aggressive tread than the knobbies that came on my MTB. When my wheels were stolen while at dinner one evening while the bike was chained to a post on Broadway I decided to get a less aggressive tire...

Very comfortable, cool helmet

Thu, 1 Jan 2004 13:37:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author consumer2003 - I ride in NYC and needed a helmet. After looking hard I decided on the Giro Pneumo because of other reviews. I was primarily concerned with heat when riding in the summer. This helmet surpassed my expectations. It is incredibly light and after thirty...

Long-term Review

Thu, 24 Jul 2003 15:40:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author consumer2003 - I have had this TV for 2.5 years and here are my long-term impressions: Picture quality: excellent for the most part. One problem was with standard definition TV (SD) from the cable company. When I first got the TV I used Time Warner cable in New...

Very Nicely Built Desktop PC

Sun, 26 Jan 2003 16:00:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author consumer2003 - I've had this PC for about a week and these are my initial impressions. What you will not see in this review is a list of specifications - you can just as easily get that on the Sony Style webpage.

My PC was ordered directly from Sony Style...

Epson Stylus Photo 2200 Inkjet Printer: A Superb Printer

Sat, 4 Jan 2003 19:48:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author consumer2003 - I have owned several high quality inkjet printers and the Epson Photo 2200 is by far the best. I simply love this printer. Because I am an artist, accurate color reproduction is critical for my work. With all my previous printers I would usually spend...

OneCall Online Store: Price Quotes not Honored

Fri, 3 Jan 2003 13:46:32 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author consumer2003 - Placed an order by phone for an Onkyo HTS755 Home Theater after being quoted a price of $899. Not having received my order two weeks later I called to inquire about its status. At first I was told there was no record of me or my order, and then later,...
