I've got these on 2 bikes and the GP 4000s on one bike. I can't tell too much of a difference with the 4000s vs these but either way these are the best tires. I've tried other brands but Continental is always going to have my business. Knock on wood these don't flat as easily as any other tires I've tried.

This is a great carbon post. I wouldn't hesitate to give it 5 stars but the adjustment mechanism in the head is a bit tight. Then again how often do you adjust your seat once it's dialed. Ok, 5 stars it is... Also I love the mini cutout on the back edge to prevent binding the carbon and causing structural problems with the seat clamp pinching the post.

So this stuff works great for dry conditions and reduces gunk that normally forms with more liquid stuff. The Aerosol application is a bit odd though. I wish the control for how much you apply was a bit smoother, it seems like it is either on or off and on is a bit strong.

So I would love to give this thing all five...it's great, fits well, has a bunch of vents. But the front pads have worn a bit faster than I would really like. They give you an extra set which is nice. But the original ones should just last a bit longer.

I'm used to continental tubes but for the price I couldn't complain. Only concern is that one of the valves was loose, screwed in and works fine but was a bit odd to have it pull out when I unscrewed the valve cap. Got them in my wheels right now and haven't had a problem yet.

The perfect bike wash...just keeps stuff shiny and doesn't strip the chain of every bit of lube so you need to overdose on the stuff every time you wash your bike.

Go hand in hand like biking and beer...this one's mounted next to my grill now and after a great ride it's great. Opens bottles with the greatest of ease.

It's a good hat, I dig it...

I love this jacket for wearing every day. It's warm, reasonably wind proof and generally fits well. My major complaint is that at 5'7" I'm normally a small but got the medium because the body fits a bit snugly. That said the arms a just a bit too long.

Great for all but the hottest of hot indoor treadmill workouts and the stupid summer days where you shouldn't be running anyway. Well placed seams and I appreciate the slightly longer tail of the shirt (adds a certain amount of modesty for a running tank top.)

Works well for a dedicated ski pant, but I wouldn't want to use them for a general backcountry set. The half lining is great when wearing a ski boot as you don't need the insulation there but it was certainly odd at first.

Great piece, I've used it for cold weather running and it works great. Just the right amount of insulation and keeps everything wicking well. My only complaint is that the welded seam left arm pocket makes natural arm swing feel funny, the seam is just too rigid.

Since it's been a bit too cold to bike, although I can't wait to use this jacket for biking, I've been enjoying it for snowshoeing. The cut is great, I'm on the skinny side of things (I guess these are cut slim). And the arm pocket is in just the right place. I've been using it for dog treats but it never gets in the way and I'm sure it will be useful when the bike season comes back around.

It's a running top so there isn't a whole lot to it, but I do like the offset seams around the sides and the tapered cut towards the back of the jersey.

The Freddo has a great fit and really impressed me with some of the details. I love the collar and the little bit of fabric that folds down to block drafts when you look down. Great jacket overall.
