Editorial Review :
Featuring the Schwinn brand Americans have trusted for over one hundred years this pump is small enough to go with you anywhere. Bicycle tires and tubes require a fixed pressure per square inch (PSI) to function safely and at best performance. Home bicycle pumps allow riders to maintain this conveniently without costly or lengthy trips to the nearest service station. When mounted on a bicycle or stored in a glove compartment fear of being stranded due to low pressure becomes a thing of the past. PTI Sports products are designed with safety as the first and foremost concern and are constructed of high quality parts and materials to prevent degradation over time. Thoroughly tested, our products last through years of use before they are recommended for replacement, ensuring safe cycling for years to come.
Customer Review :
Great for smaller job
Doesn't work real well if you've got a complete flat in that it won't pump it up to the tire's max potential but then again you can't expect that much out of something so small. Its great to get you from a to b if you are low and the dual valve settings are great when you have two bikes with different valves.

my first small pamp
this my first small pamp i bought ,and i think it way to hard to use it on bike wheel it will make you hands Tired,so i will not rocoumend it to a friend.
Rating : 
OK
This is a decent product if you happen to get a flat tire on the trail in the middle of nowhere. However, if you want to pump your tire up to normal PSI forget about it. It just doesn't have the strength that a gas station air pump has to inflate the tire. I think I lost more air than I put in when trying to "top off" the air pressure on my tires.

Did not fit my Schwinn Trail Way valve stem
you would think with the name schwinn on it that it would...could not get it on deep enough..for me..it was wasted money since I lost my receipt as always is the case with something you need to return.

This is a great back-up for travel
I have had this on my Schwinn Prelude road bike ever since I once had a popped tire from falling and had to walk all the way home because I had no patches nor pump. It can pump up a tire enough to have get you home, but you can't pump a whole lot of pressure with this because you can't get as much force on the handle since it is not sitting on the ground and you can't use both hands. In other words you still need to have a regular pump at the house, but this is a good back-up for when you're on the move and can't tote a stand-up pump. I love how easy it is to use on both Presta valves and Schrader valves (You don't have to screw on an adapter or anything like some of the competitors' pumps that I have seen.) It is also fairly easy to mount--all you do is take of the water bottle holder on your bike and put it back on with this under the holder.

Avenir by Raleigh is the premier bicycle accessory line from legendary Raleigh Bicycles.
Customer Review :
Spacious bag, only one minor complaint
This bag is big enough to carry more than just the essentials. I always have my bike tools, spare tube, patch kit, and saddle cover in there. Expand the bag to its maximum volume and you can also fit a rolled up t-shirt to change into, your keys, sunglasses, etc. I once crammed a fat coiled cable lock into it when I had no other way to carry it on my bike.
The length of the strap that runs under the bag and clicks together is easily adjustable. You'll need to adjust this if you expand the bag to its full volume, or if you simply want to keep it nice and tight so the bag doesn't bounce around. There are two loops on the bottom of the bag to route the strap (including excess length) through.
My one complaint is with the Velcro attachment strap. The short side of the strap that holds the plastic ring appears to be adjustable because of its Velcro-like surface material, and it will easily yield to some pulling, releasing the plastic ring. However, the strap is just lightly sewn together to hold the ring - it's not intended to be adjustable at all. The only fix is to sew the ring back in yourself.

Not a bad bag, but a part broke within minutes
I like the size of this bag... I can easily fit the essentials (multitool, tire levers, patch kit, extra tube, etc.), but it's not obnoxiously big.
I had a little trouble getting the strap tight enough so that it would fit pretty close against the bottom of the seat, but looking at the user-submitted pics, I see that perhaps I routed it incorrectly. The pics show the strap (which is rather long) going around the bottom of the bag, but when I installed mine, I just kept the strap at the top (and snapped the buckle directly under the seat).
While difficult to install this way (since you have to get your hands up into the underside of the seat to snap the buckle), it does appear to have the advantage of alleviating the concern that one review noted, that the bag can't be expanded with the strap routed underneath it.
The only significant problem I noted was a few minutes after I installed the bag, the stretchy rubber piece that goes around the seat post to hold that end of the bag broke. I wasn't even touching it... I was looking at something else, and it just snapped. I was able to rig up my own attachment, and because of the expense of return shipping (this was a "Sold by XXX, fulfilled by Amazon", so Amazon would not do a replacement), I decided to not exchange it.
Rating :   
Great saddle bag for the price, adequate room
I bought this from Amazon for 8.89 dollars which is a bargain. The bag fully expanded is large enough to hold:
(2) tubes (1) C02 pump (1) spare C02 (1) Crank Brothers 19 multi-tool (1) tire lever (1) Motorola Droid phone (1) 3-AAA LED flashlight (1) Infiniti keys with remote (2) Fruit roll-ups strawberry flavor
You can also decease the size to make it more compact, but remember to buy the velcro strap version and not the rubber one. The velcro has lasted me a year of heavy riding in rain, mud, droughts, sand, dirt, sprinklers etc...
Other pluses include a reflective back sticker on a strap where a rear LED light can be mounted. I was so pleased with this I purchased three large and one small. The small is more for road bikes and can hold a tube, C02 pump, phone and keys without having to cram them in.
I wish Amazon offer them in more colors since our family and friends who use these bags sometimes swap them on different bikes but only to forget which bag belongs to who.
I ended just using a silver sharpie to make my own design :)

Glad to have this
Ride trails four days a week on average. Had my first flat tire a month ago and did not have a bike bag to carry tools to fix the flat. That will not happen again, so I purchased this bag and tools. Bag is as advertised - well made, carries alot without taking up much space. I would buy again if I had a second bike. Not sure of comments about the seat attachment - velcro around the seat post, adjustable strap under seat allows for expanded bag or standard bag size.

Great Bag
Connects up easily and carries a lot of stuff. It works great and was cheap to boot. I'd recommend it.

Customer Review :
doesn't handle getting wet
the light worked well, I liked the clamp and the brightness and the batteries seemed to last forever. But the light can't handle getting wet. Mine got stuck in 'on' mode and wouldn't turn off. condensation was visible in the lens. I took the batteries out and when I put them back in it would only turn on some of the time and would turn off during a ride.not recommended.
Rating : 
perfect for my use
I bought a pair of lights, a habit I have from decades ago when battery life was short and reliability shaky. The idea was that there is more light and a broader beam, usually, and if batteries on one died mid-trip there is still one light working. I've realized something else since, from a motorist's perspective. Two lights are more visible than one. It helps to associate the light with a bicycle. That said. One of these lights provides enough light for my urban commuting. I want the light to be bright enough that I can see hazards in the road and that I can be seen. I also want to preserve my night vision so when there is other light I can see around me. That one light is sufficient is demonstrated by the fact that the second light does not significantly change my illumination comfort. I still prefer a brace of lights for the second reason. These lights are thoughtfully designed. Illumination suits me perfectly. A small feature I really like is the dim side-lighting illuminating my handlebars, again aiding identification of my vehicle by a motorist. LEDs extend battery life to where it no longer concerns me. I pack spares. Flashing LEDs redouble battery life, and I have found that strobe frequency is again thoughtful. It is slow enough that I am not bothered by it, yet it is fast enough that I don't feel a sense of discontinuity. The flashing still pictures I see have the same sense of continuity as a continuous beam light. Battery life is doubled without sacrificing comfort or function. Thus, I run the flashing mode. Finally, these lights make great flashlights, dismounting easily, comfortable in the hand. These are a product from a reliable manufacturer, and the price was right. These are a bargain.
Rating :     
Worth the purchase
Light is great quality. Shines a nice bright beam in front of you to see clear at night. Snaps on and off easily. The mounting bracket could be better. It doesn't seem to tighten down as firm as it should, but at least it stays in place okay.
Rating :     
Worth The Money!
Only used once, but there's stuff to say:
First, do NOT forget how economical this light is... if you NEED more light, check out the 1W and 2W PB lights.
Mounting: I found the mount to be well designed, able to use very small increments to adjust. That being said, I got the a point where I could clamp it, but one more turn tighter (the cam that "locks" is on a screw, so you can make fine fit adjustments) and I could not (wasn't willing to try and force it, I needed the light the day I installed it... it COULD be that I could go that one more step). As such, one can adjust the beam up and down as the mount did a bit of sliding on the bars. The fact of the length of the light itself helped add leverage. HOWEVER, during the ride (15 miles over sometimes bumpy stuff) it seemed to stay put. So this is most likely NOT a real issue. Not to mention that it can be helpful. I can easily see times when I may want to spot closer to me and times I wanted it farther away. So it looks like I have to turn it on, then micro adjust it before I take off, at least it DOES stay put once it's on and you're riding.
Light Unit: One MAJOR design flaw. The button, nicely encased in a rubber boot, is located totally wrong. It is way too far forward, and a tad stiff. The result is that there's no way you can NOT change the angle pressing it. Even if you brace the underside, you still can alter how the beam plays. The button SHOULD be directly in line over the bars which it is mounted on.
Light Itself: I was pleasantly surprised . It's really not so bad, especially for a [...] buck light. I like that it has a sharp pattern, that means an elongated "oval" spread out in front of me. If they had to spread out farther left and right, it would diminish the intensity of the light where it DID hit the road. The ride was in a Park so it had sections where I could not see the light (more than bright enough from Park lampposts) to pretty dark spaces, no lampposts, under trees). The darker it got, the more I could see the light.
Overall: Obviously, one has to temper the amount of light it puts out with cost, AND how one uses it. For me, this is a perfect combo as I live in a very urban city and only really need it for the occasional Park rides. I could IMAGINE it being very useful in other situations, but certainly NOT for riding hell bent with no moonlight through a dense forest. BUT at a far more leisurely pace, I'd find it useful in that situation, although I'd probably prefer a 2W light.
I'd say it gives one somewhat more value than the price might indicate.

Powerful Light and Excellent Quality
Searched for a while on Amazon for a bike lights and am very pleased with the purchase. Very very bright, great quality and a very easy to attach bracket.
Would recommend this light without reservation. Live and bike in Manhattan with this light and they cannot miss you!

Works perfectly
I just installed this on my KHS Urban X-press.
It is sturdy, and best of all, adjustable.
It fits my Camelbak better bottle (25 oz) perfectly!
I love it!

Wonderful Invention.
From what I can tell, this is a quality-made product. It doesn't feel flimsy or overly cheap. I like that it is adjustable using the easy-to-turn nob at the bottom. The only thing I dislike is that it seems as though biking companies really restrict the amount of water one can carry on a bike. For instance, I was hoping this bottle cage could hold a 40 oz. water bottle but it can't. I'm lucky to fit a 27 oz. water bottle in it. It's a quality bottle cage and would recommend it as everyone's standard bottle cage, but I'm really hoping Topeak will up their game and create an adjustable bottle cage that can hold a higher capacity.

Well made and good value
I was pleasantly surprised enough with the quality of this product to add to the consensus. It's really well made for the price. A good buy indeed. The adjustable thumbscrew is fantastic too.

WARNING!!
Beware, this water bottle cage also needs a cage mount. Otherwise it's a good product.

Great product, does what it should
The adjustable cage is nice, it allows it to carry a variety of water bottle sizes. It has held in a poland spring bottle several times while mountain biking all day over some pretty nasty terrain.

Customer Review :
Better than non-insulated
Okay, here was my super-scientific test method: I put about four ice cubes in the Podium Chill and filled the rest with water. I filled my regular Podium to the top with ice cubes and the rest with water. I drove 30 minutes across town to the trail in a non-air conditioned car. I was on the trail for about an hour to 90 minutes, using the standard Podium the whole time. By the time I finished, the remaining water was well on the way to warm/hot. The Podium Chill, while no longer containing any cubes, was still cool on its way to room temperature for the drive home.
I like the Chill for its taller size, I don't have to reach down as far on the bike to pick it up. I noticed no funny taste, even when using it immediately after purchase without rinsing. I chose the Chill over the Polar because I am addicted to Camelbak's spill-proof spout technology that means no fiddling to open the cap while riding (although this proved to be inconvenient when I sweat sunscreen into my eye and couldn't just dribble some water into it to clean it out). Maybe when I win the lottery I'll buy the Polar too and see if I can't interchange lids.
It serves its purpose best on shorter rides. The first time I used too many ice cubes that didn't melt, so I was left with no actual water to drink. However, if you're planning an all-day adventure and want ice cold water the whole time, this definitely isn't for you.
Rating :    
Nice insulating bottle with a great nozzle to boot.
Keeps my drink cool for a good 4-5hrs, nothing astounding. However what I like best is the nozzle. Twist open with self seal allows easy function without having to hurt your teeth biting on traditional valves. You can leave it open without having to worry about spillage, although hard bumps will probably still leak some out. The nozzle itself is soft so you can hold onto it with your teeth to free your hands for other stuff (grab food?).
Rating :     
I plan to buy one or two more...
For a long time I was using the plain, non-insulated water bottles from the bike shop. Recent hot weather has been making the water tepid in under an hour. I usually stuff as many ice cubes into the bottle and fill with cold tap water before riding. No freezing overnight, just fill and go. But warm water, half to a third through my ride was getting me down. So I decided to look into the insulated type.
But there were enough negative reviews to make me hesitate. So I looked around for a local bike shop that had Camelbak Podium bottles in stock, to see and feel one before buying. Found one. The shop owner said if I wasn't happy with it I could bring it back for a refund, that's how confident he was that I'd like it. The screw top lid does not leak, the dirt collection is minimal, and the flow valve/squeeze function is very nice.
After several weeks of use, I'm convinced too. It keeps the water cold for at least 2 to 3 hours. Any longer, and a "bicycle bottle" is not the appropriate container anyway. After 3 hours, and drinking most of the water, there were still a few little ice chips in the bottle. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is the price. I am planning buy 1 or 2 more to have as spares, or take along for extra thirsty days.

Waterbottle for all outdoor adventures
If you want your water bottle to have a few extra features here and there that add some pleasure throughout your ride or exercise then this is the water bottle for you. This bottle never leaks, it has never cracked, and it does actually keep the liquid cooler for longer. It won't keep the water cold for hours on end, but for an extra few hours your water will be cooler. One of the major upsides of this bottle is that it has camelbak's no-leak nozzle and a lock to stop the flow.
Bottom line: Realistically, a water bottle is a water bottle, and if you want to pay a few extra dollars for a water bottle that never leaks and keeps your water a little colder a little longer, this water bottle is for you.

CAMELBAK PODIUM 21 OZ. CHILL JACKET INSULATED BOTTLE
I have owned this type of bottle before, and just loved it. It fits nicely into my water bottle cage on my bicycle. Sadly, I use a water bottle everywhere I go, and I left it somewhere by mistake. Oops, big time, because I really enjoyed using it. It does not insulated as much as is indicated by its name, but it does keep drinks cool for a medium period of time. It is very easy to use and has a valve that can be turned to open or close depending on whether you wish to have it open while riding. I would highly recommend buying this bottle, because of the ease of its use, the opening valve, and the feel of the bottle. Also, this bottle is BPA free; there fore, you don't get that nasty plastic taste when you drink from this container.
I have solved the problem of having my water cool down too quickly. The night before I ride or work in the yard, I freeze my bottle with, of course, water or some energy drink. Even better, put ice cubes up to half way in the bottle and THEN add water. Freeze over night. This keeps the water REALLY COLD and then cool for my entire ride. GET THIS BOTTLE. IT IS WELL WORTH THE MONEY!!!
Well, I just purchased my 3rd Camelbak, and I wouldn't go with any other bottle. JUST REMEMBER MY SUGGESTION FROM THE PARAGRAPH ABOVE, AND YOUR WATER WILL STAY COLD. If you fill this container with ice and then the rest with water, your water WILL stay cold.
