New DAHON SPEED P8 FOLDING BICYCLE Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Dahon Speed 7 (upgraded to Speed 8) has been my vehicle of choice for years. Fold it up, put it in a large hardshell suitcase, take it to Mazatlan or Hawaii or wherever and ride around. (Roll up your clothing, put it in plastic bags, and pack it in the spaces in and around the bike. One checked bag, no bike fees, no hassles.) My next goal is to take it to Japan; some of the best level riding anywhere starts within a couple of miles of the Tokyo Narita airport. And in Japan, you can take it on the train (if it's under a cover).
Now, in our condo in Hawai'i, I keep one with a surfboard rack on it. I can surf any break within a mile or so of our place with no problem. On the South Shore (Oahu), this means Kaisers to Suicides and beyond. (I ride a 10 foot board, no problem on the bike.) Combination lock with an 8 foot cable; lock the bike to a palm tree and go surfing.
Also in Hawai'i: the bike has a rack on it, with a box. Ride to the supermarket, do all my shopping by bike. Don't have a car there; don't want one, don't need one.
Hills? I wouldn't want to take the Speed 7/8 on the Tour de France, for sure. But for any normal city street grade, it's fine. Very good gear ratio. If you know the road up to the overlook at Diamond Head, above the lighthouse, I've ridden up there on the Speed 7 (1 less gear) many times. Sitting down the whole way.
Traffic? The agility of this bike (short wheel base) has saved me several times where a larger, less agile bike would have failed to avoid some idiot opening a car door or cutting me off to get a parking place.
Back home in San Diego, a Speed 7 lives in the back of my car. Go to the beach, park the car, ride around.
San Francisco peninsula? Take the Dahon on the train, get off, unfold, ride.
Price and design? I researched all the other brands (Bike Friday, Montague, etc.). This is the best design and the most economical.
Try it, buy it, you'll like it. I can't say enough about this bike. Beats walking, beats driving, gets the job done. I had a full-sized, 21-speed Dahon and sold it--the small one is more practical and just as good to ride.

Probably the best combination of performance and value in our product line, the Speed P8 is perfect for long commutes, weekend exploring, or touring. The Speed P8 shares the same frame as our classic Speed and marries it with our no-compromise Premium component package. The Speed P8's stiff frame, rigid Radius handlepost, and plush-riding Schwalbe Big Apple tires inspire confidence on even the worst roads.

Cycle-Ops Fluid 2 Pro Pack Trainer Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm in the military, currently studying at West Point, and recently took up cycling as a competetive sport. Since it is starting to get cold and I don't have the money to buy cold weather clothes, so i decided to invest a little money in a trainer. After extensive research, i decided to get the cycleops fluid2 mainly for it's high resistance power curve to improve myself for the spring season.
After my first workout on the trainer, all i have to say is that this thing is a beast. I used the included Criterium workout that came with the trainer, and I couldn't go past the 4th largest cog for more than a minute near the end. Totally smoked from that workout, which is a good thing. The best part of the trainer is the fact that it has the quick release for when you're done with your workout. I haven't used a trainer with a knob, but it would probably suck cranking it tight enough for it not to slip.
Setup was a complete breeze, except that there was a rock or some mineral or something in the thread for the quick release which slowed my setup down to 40 minutes trying to get the stupid thing out. Other than that, the setup shouldn't have taken more than 10 mintues.
The extra money spent on the blocks, mat, and sweat catcher thing are really worth it though. I had 3 big puddles of sweat on the mat when i was done after 40 minutes of spinning. Seeing as sweat is corrosive, the sweat catcher probably absorbed another puddle of sweat that could've damaged my bike.
All around, it's a great set and worth the money if you're willing to spend the money on it. This is my first trainer, and I didn't want a cheap trainer that would break after my first year of use and as a warm-up tool before races. Can't go wrong with cycleops.

Lemond RevMaster Sport - Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a beautifully built spin excercise bike.
If you are not going to use it to improve your road biking skills and to stay in shape during times when you can't (or don't want to) be outside on your "real" bike, then you should be looking at some other type of cycle excerciser. This isn't for you.
The Rev Master can substitute for an add-on cycle excerciser that you use with your own bike. Because it is more compact and it's set up all the time, you might get more use out of it than you would from a bolt-on.
Although expensive, quality just oozes out of the Rev Master.
There are many nice touches - combination SPD/toe clip & strap pedals, a seat post adjustable for reach as well as height that you can mount a proper bicycle road saddle on, if you don't like the one it comes with (which is a pretty good one, in any case).
The only thing I don't like about it is that I can't adjust the (one piece) bar/stem high enough to suit me when the seat is at the right level. If you are younger/fitter than I am, this won't be a problem for you.
The only caveat I have about it is that you should try it out first to make sure that you can adjust it to fit you properly. There is a very wide range of adjustments but make sure.

Belt The RevMaster Sport uses a smooth Kevlar belt instead of a chain. The result - a smooth and QUIET!! ride. Our belt never needs to be replaced due to stretch, or oiled like the chain bikes do. Brake Pad Designed with the resistance pad on top of the flywheel for improved long-term durability. Brake and Resistance Designed for ease of use, the resistance knob adjusts easily. Just turn the knob to adjust (increase or decrease) the intensity of your workout. By simply pressing down on the same knob, the braking system activates quickly and safely. Micro turn adjustment allows smooth, safe transitions to higher intensity levels. Cranks Designed to withstand greater force loads than conventional bikes, the LeMond RevMaster Sport features an exceptionally strong custom BMX bottom bracket and cranks for exceptional product durability. Floor Levelers Easy adjustment for uneven floor surfaces. Flywheel Drop in mounting - easy service, no adjustments ever needed, easy to reach high RPMs with less "runaway" feeling and safe for knees. Frame This frame is more stable and allows fast, easy access to all seat, handlebar & height adjustments. This creates a comfortable, high performance custom fit for all users! Steel main frame undergoes a 17-step rust inhibitor process prior to durable powder coat process. Classic Handlebars (not original style handlebars) Traditional handlebar design which allows multiple hand positions and ease of use - does not accept Lemond RevMaster Pilot. Micro-Adjust Fit No more holes limiting adjustment options! Height and fore/aft measurement ruler marks allow for quick adjustments for a proper fit every time. Saddle Adjustment The numbered dual position seat slider for fore/aft fit provides more than enough range to properly fit almost any person, regardless of height. Transport Wheels Designed for easy transport! A rock-solid construction and the extra-wide base ensure outstanding stability.
