Great Pump

Lezyne CNC Floor Drive Pump

Lezyne CNC Floor Drive Pump

Rating for this product: 5 February 11, 2010

Nice pump, seems well-made with solid construction and great looks. Pumps up to 180psi (haven't tried higher yet) with no problems so far. Over 120 psi getting about 10 psi per pump so moves a good amount of air. The screw-on valve head is very secure but as is usually the case with this type of valve if you have deep dish rims with valve extenders (I have the Vittoria ones where you take out the valve core and put it in the extender) you have to be careful not to unscrew the valve extenders/valve cores when you are trying to unscrew the pump. If your extenders are only peaking out of the rim a little and you can't hold the extender with your other hand to prevent it from turning when loosening the pump you might have problems.

Top Shelf Jersey

Mavic  Infinity Cycling Jersey - Short-Sleeve - Full-Zip - Men's

Mavic Infinity Cycling Jersey - Short-Sleeve - Full-Zip - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 February 11, 2010

Picked these up on bonktown, 2 greys and 1 white. Overall, they are favorably comparable to other top shelf jerseys such as DeMarchi Contour EVO, Contour Racing & Giordana Forma that I also use. This one has a bit more technical features such as the vent holes in the armpits, and a side iPod pocket that some others don't have. Fit is great, sleeves are nice and tight while body is a bit looser and bottom is also tight with rubberized cinchers. Zipper has a panel style instead of more hidden/minimalist style and can be a little stiff and cause a bit of puckering out when bent over the bars, but it works better than a lot of the hidden zippers that get snagged on every little thread. Zipper garage on top is a welcome feature. Only gets 4/5 because the white one I bought had the black panels bleed onto the white when washed in cold water-which gives a bit more of a dirty effect than I would like from biking in it one time in the garage on rollers. If it does come out in subsequent washings, I would give it a solid 5/5.

Great baselayer

Craft proZERO Baselayer Top - Sleeveless - Men's

Craft proZERO Baselayer Top - Sleeveless - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 February 11, 2010

Picked these up on bonktown and very impressed with the fit and function so far. I have both the sleeveless and short-sleeved versions. I am in winter training mode right now, so just riding on the rollers in the freezing garage, but I was immediately impressed by how comfortably warm I am vs. not wearing a baselayer under the jersey. It seems like the warmth is trapped well, but I also find myself not getting too sweaty, so it must breathe well also. I like the nice, stretchy/tight fit for layering under tight jerseys. They also are very long (I was pretty surprised how long but it works) so that you can tuck them in without worrying about any untucking when bent over the handlebars. Throwing on a Giordana jacket and I can actually use my headwind unit without getting numb! I can also attest that these baselayers also work great for downhill skiing.

Great System

Shimano  Di2 Battery

Shimano Di2 Battery

Rating for this product: 5 November 18, 2009

Di2 is pretty awesome. I recently completed a Colnago EPS build with Di2 and it is a great system. Install is very well-laid out in the manuals-although you do have to go back and forth quite often to get the torque settings for all these high end components right on a carbon frame. The battery life is very good so far, I haven't gone for any long rides yet but after several hour rides and a couple 1.5 hour rides I have only charged the battery once since the first charge before using it. Very cool sounds when it's shifting, kind of a hissing machine-type noise. And you can definitely hear the auto-trimming on the FD. I bought the components from several different locations and they all installed together easily with no need to adjust any of the shift settings from the factory defaults. There are some minor annoyances with cable routing, especially on an Italian frame more designed for Campy components-you can't use the cable stops of course. Also my FSA Plasma bar, which wouldn't normally have handlebar tape on top and has an internal route on the underside of the upper handbar from the brake hoods. The junction ends of the shifter cables wouldn't fit through the opening, but that is a minor annoyance that can be fixed with some quality black tape to cover them on the underside of the bar. It's an expensive system but it is the direction cycling is moving because it eliminates so many of the annoyances/problems of traditional mechanical systems.

Did you try throwing them in the washing machine (by themselves on gentle cycle in cold water w/ a small amount of detergent)? Usually that will help the dreaded color-bleed.

Feedback Sports RAKK Integrated Bicycle Display System

Feedback Sports RAKK Integrated Bicycle Display System

Rating for this product: 5 June 15, 2009

This stand holds my MTB securely without it being anchored to it. It easily releases to take the bike out for a ride but still prevents falling over in the garage. While you could lean your bike against the wall, etc. this stand is a little more secure because a bump from the side or snagging the bar end on a shirt when walking by will not cause the bike to fall over with it (I have some experience with this). Looks great too and is easily portable. If you are worried about carbon fiber components getting banged by a potential walk-by snag causing the bike to fall over, this is the perfect stand at a nice price.

Feedback Sports Alpine Digital Scale

Feedback Sports Alpine Digital Scale

Rating for this product: 5 June 15, 2009

Very accurate, from weighing individual components (can tare it to hold a platter/bowl to put them in or just hang a derailleur,etc. from the hook) to putting your entire ride on it. Easy to use, easily coordinates with my Ultimate/FBS Pro Elite stand. It also should work with just about any clamping stand with little problem as long as the clamp can be rotated (even if it can't you can hang the scale off the stand although there will be more "swaying"). It's very satisfying to actually see in black and white that your is bike shedding weight when you spend $$ on new & lighter parts.
