Happy on II Topeak Pump JoeBlow Bike Floor Max
Joe Blow Max “Blows”. I’ve had a Joe Blow Sport pump for 5+ years and Topeak JoeBlow Max II Floor Bike Pump was great. Decided to get a 2nd pump, one for home & family use and one to leave in the car. Based on my old pump & positive general Joe Blow reviews, I bought a Joe Blow “Max” from the LBS last week, and it blows !
Once I get up to 80 psi, I really have to LEAN on it for each stroke to get up to 110. I mean my feet just about lift off the ground ! (I weigh 170)
I got my old Joe Blow pump out and tried it … zip zip zip right to 110 no problem.
I am on my way back to the shop to return it.
Chain Cleaning Park System Chain CG-2 Gang Tool focus
Worked as advertised. This product did exactly what Park Tool CG-2 Chain Gang Chain Cleaning System was supposed to do. It took care of my grimy chain. It had 4 years of use and It was long overdue for a cleaning. I opened the product out of the box read the straight forward instructions and cleaned the chain with great results. My hands got a little dirty cleaning the product after the first and second use. However since the degreaser was mixed with the grease when I got the mixture on my hands while cleaning it came off pretty quickly. Now that I have this product I’ll maintain my chain better, especially since I know it only takes about 15-20 minutes to clean the chain and clean the product and myself up afterwards.
Today about Windwood Cruiser Schwinn Womens Bike
The great run-around. Schwinn Windwood Women’s 26-Inch CruiserI ordered this bike for my wife for Christmas and didn’t put Schwinn Windwood Womens Cruiser Bike together until after the holidays. I wanted a Pacific Shorewood but it was out of stock. When I opened the box, I pulled the bike out and the first thing I do is pump the tires. The front tire would not hold air. It lost air as fast as I could pump it in. I contacted Amazon and received an “off-shore” answer which gave me the number and email address of Schwinn. Amazon doesn’t stock parts, etc. I called the number and was told Schwinn was not responsible. I finally took the tire to a local bike shop and bought a new tube and had them install it. The original tube was torn and could not hold air. This is the worse experience I have had with Amazon and their affiliates to date. I have shopped Amazon for quite some time. Very disappointed.
