rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dnhoshor - The Schwinn Air Driver 1100 with its "innovative" five way nozzle seems like a great idea, and it is - but why didn't they include some instructions on how to properly use the nozzle? The Schwinn Air Driver 1100 pump has it all. It's a floor tire pump...

The Cat Eye HL-EL410 is bright, but best as an emergency headlight

Wed, 6 Aug 2008 05:38:37 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author dnhoshor - The Cat Eye HL-EL410 bicycle headlight is small, bright and light, but is best used as a warning light to make yourself known to others on the highway. Its beam, while bright and white, is too narrow to be considered as your first choice for night time...
