Awesome Pump

Innovations Proflate 16 Inflator

Innovations Proflate 16 Inflator

Rating for this product: 5 May 20, 2009

I bought this specifically because you can use the cheap Walmart co2 cartridges with it. They are only 12g, but seem to work fine with my road tires. One cartridge gets my tire up to about 90 lbs which is a little better than I can do with the frame pump I carry with me.(and a lot less work) The Walmart Cartridges are about 60 cents each in a case of 15.

Sidi Bullet 2 Bike Shoe - Women's

March 10, 2009

Sidi is one of the best. However, this is a mountain bike shoe. Doing triathalons, you will want a Women's specific tri shoe. They usually have fewer straps (2 instead of 3) to make the transitions quicker. Do you have cleats on your shoes now? If you do, you will want to make sure the shoe you buy is compatible with what you are using. If you don't clip into your pedals now, you will need to buy pedals as well. The cleats come with the pedals but need to be compatible with the shoe. The Shimano SPD-SL and Look pedals are a couple of the more popular ones found on this website. Most of the road or triathlon shoes will be compatible with those pedals. It should say in the description though. Shimano is also a good shoe. You should check with some of the people you are doing the triathlons with and see what they are using. When you actually want to order something, you can click on "TALK TO GEAR EXPERTS" at the bottom of this page and they will help you get the right stuff. Remember, backcountry has a lifetime satisfaction guarantee on everything they sell. If you don't like it, send it back and get your money back! Welcome to cycling and have fun out there!!

Inno Racks Upright Bike Lock

March 9, 2009

If the bolt is holding something together, grease may not be the best choice. And the grease has a knack for finding it's way to your clothes. I would opt for some appropriate colored rustoleum. Just get a little can and use a small brush and cover the part that looks corroded. You can try brushing off any loose particles with an old toothbrush (not the wife's) before you carefully apply the paint only where you need it.

Rating for this product: 3 February 23, 2009

I bought the long fingered version of this glove specifically to help with the numbness in my hands on my mountain bike. They did not change the point in my ride where my hands start going numb. Although the gloves are OK comfort wise and appear to be put together well, they did not help with the tingling feeling. They are actually painful to use on my road bike because of the large pads on the palms. So if you are looking for a large pair, I have one to sell!!
