does the imola have good tires or rims the tires they come with are decent from what i've seen on my friend's bike, but i plan on buying a new set after mine get worn out. might be a while :)

size i'm 5'6"-5'7" and i'm about 135 lbs, what is a good size for me? it seems 52cm is good, but i'm not completely sure as this will be my first road bike.

sturdy
nice and sturdy rack with minimal problems. for its price, a thicker rack would be more worth it, but it does its job and holds up with little sway.

does its job
it's not as fast as a regular pump, but it's good for emergencies. mine is going strong, but a friend of mine has this same pump and had to retire it 5 months ago after about 7 months of light use.

really handy
extremely useful and WOW it has a pump even, amazing. 2 of my friends have these and they recommend this as well.

nice
very handy and nifty little tool. unexpectedly heavy for its size, but is really useful for small repairs while riding.
Posted 09.22.11
quality?
nice light with just-bright-enough light, but the quality is questionable. my friends and i were out riding one night and his light came loose and fell off. this very light. never had any other issues, but the light was tightly secure and had no reason to fall off the way it did.

nice
it does its job and is simple to use. nice thing about it is that the hose can be rotate, which allows for ease of pumping.
Posted 09.22.11
nice!
good tape for vibration dampening. nice cushioning and its elasticity makes it easy to put on bikes.

shorts have misleading sizes! had to order up one size and my friends, aside from one, did as well.

decent
not bad for the price, but not great for the rain. nice for riding on asphalt, not so great for dirt though. does a good job if used for basic commuting in the city

sleek
wish they had the white one on giantnerd as well, looks very sleek. very bright and easy to affix onto the bike. and it's pretty cheap, too
Posted 08.05.11
nice
i switch between this and chaois butt'r, both work great. sensation isn't too annoying, but it's... different, to say the least.

better than phonebooks
one of my friends used to use phone books and so another friend bought this as a joke birthday gift. he ended up loving it, though it doesn't work so well with road bikes. overall really useful though
Posted 08.05.11
good
is very clear-cut and strong. *might* not be compatible certain types/models like full suspension bikes as mentioned, but for the most part, is pretty good
Posted 08.05.11
not for heavy things
was hoping to pack my laptop with some books in this, but it turns out it became quite unbalanced easily. my laptop is a heavy gaming laptop, about 8lbs and my books add a few other pounds. made it difficult to keep my balance. i decided to switch to a different bag for my laptop and books, and packed my brunch/lunch in there instead. was hoping for an interior organizer as well, but alas.
overall nice quality, but not very multi-functional and is a bit limited

does what it says...
went up a mountain trail, we had 2 pumps. the other one (the topeak joeblow max II) didn't fair so well in the higher altitude, but this one did fine. it did tire (lol) us out because it took a lot of pumping, but it did its job
Posted 08.05.11
does everything
really well-rounded and useful. looks pretty sharp too. went camping by san diego one time, was able to accurately gauge the weather and altitude. held up pretty well to nature also.
Posted 08.05.11
comfortable and looks great
i was amazed by this tape, had to "steal" my friend's extra roll! feels great to grip and as far as i know, it doesn't get dirty fast.
Posted 08.05.11

does the job, but there are issues with cleaning it and it doesn't hold much water, but that was to be expected with this size. wish it was more comfortable as well
Posted 08.05.11
slightly faulty, but works well
a friend bought 2 of these on sale and lent one to me. the first one he bought died prematurely due possibly to QC issues, but he was able to exchange it for a new one. very bright and has multiple lighting modes. can be easily mounted as well.

nice length
although this lock (as with many onguard bike locks) has issues with jamming, it's great for packed areas like universities where bikes are often packed like sardines and it's impossible to lock more than just the wheel (which makes the bike susceptible to being stolen), great for reaching difficult to lock places, but still has issues with jamming.
