1. Fits most racks
2. Great for carrying odd shaped items

Editorial Review :

This Pyramid Bungie cargo net will fit any standard bicycle rack and most oversized racks. It is perfect for carrying odd shaped items that won't fit on your rack normally.

Customer Review :

Broke within first few days.

This is a good product but not good quality. One of the bungees quickly failed and busted out of its nylon casing. The net still works but I was very disappointed when it happened after just 2 days of use, especially after reading all the great reviews. If you are going to put this threw any heavy use, reconsider.

very useful product

From all the things I bought to help me transport things on my bike, this is the best and cheapest. I bought wire baskets for the front and the back and recently I bought two panniers for shopping bags I am not very happy with. But this little net is perfect. It is very easy to use, does not take much space and enables me to secure nearly everything to my bike. I only have it for two weeks but it has already served me well and I have been able to bring things home on the bike I usually would have to use the car for. I highly recommend it.

Great Product!

This is a great way to secure things to a bike rack. I went on an overnight camping and biking trip recently where I had to transport a large dutch oven about a mile from our cars to our campsite, on the back of my bike. I secured the dutch oven with this cargo net, and even when my bike fell over at one point, the dutch oven stayed on the back of my bike because of this net. Great product!

Rating :

Good quality

This is like almost all the other cargo nets. 12" square (unstretched). That's not as large as the Topeak (about 20"x20"). Good, heavy elastic cording. It has metal hooks with a plastic cap on the end. Personally, I prefer the nets with plastic hooks, like the Delta Mega Rack Bicycle Cargo Net. It too is 12" square.

Rating :

Simply the best!

The cargo net is simply the best way to secure items in your bicycle basket. It's super easy to attach and holds everything in the basket. A must-have for anyone who does a lot of shopping with their bikes. Much easier to use and better than multible bungee cords.

Bicycle Cross-Bar Adaptor

You get what you pay for...

I bought this thinking that this will help me solve the problem of taking my daughter's bike everywhere (a woman's bike)... Oh boy, was I SO WRONG...

Before I tell you what happened, I do admit that this is a pretty easy set up and it seems sturdy enough - but it all end there.

As it happened, we are going for a cycle ride and I strapped both of our bicycles safely and correctly on the rack and went. Not far from the house, the retainer pin didn't managed to keep hold of the bike thus the quick release pins gave way... the result of the bike's big thump on the road and when you are driving it will not be an option to just stop right away resulting the need to dragged the bike to a safe place to park and sort the problem.

When I stopped and looked at the bar itself, I've found out that the retainer pin just broke in half. THIS IS A DANGEROUS FLAW in the design. Both the retainer and the quick release pins are not sturdy enough to carry the weight of the bike (even though it is a light bike) and I am driving in a pretty safe speed, this does not help with the flaw.

This cause the problem for my daughter's bike and I am so glad that it didn't cause a major accident. This might happen...

LIKE I SAID,THIS IS A FLAW IN THEIR PRODUCT.

I would not be buying this product again. Next time, I would think before I buy cheap stuff as you get what you pay for...

Just What I Needed

I'm training for two, back-to-back centuries and found that with the amount of weekly riding I'm doing I needed to learn how to maintain my bike myself. When the book first arrived the maintenance process seemed so daunting, but once I started following the instructions and actually worked on the bike, I found that The Big Blue Book of Repair holds your hand through the entire process and makes it easy.

The book has detailed instructions that verbally walk you through the process step-by-step. It even repeats the process for other component groups. The supporting pictures are excellent and help to clarify, rather than confuse (as I've found in other tutorials). The Big Blue Book of Repair made the whole experience go from scary to fun.

It was extremely satisfying to hop on my bike knowing I had successfully made the adjustments it needed. Now I want to order a solid tool set and repair stand to pair with this book. I can't believe I'm actually excited to maintain my bikes.

Still the "Bible"...

The second edition of the BBB is a slick, well-illustrated and bound volume which builds on the success of the first edition. I have found it to be thorough and up-to-date on recent bike technology. It certainly is a bit of an advertisement for Park Tools, but frankly the 'advertising' has subsidized the price of this book, and we all can benefit from that...

Step-by-step instructions for bike maintenance that tell you which tool to use

I've used the 1974 2nd edition of the classic book - The Complete Book of Bicycling (4th Edition) to repair my bikes, but technology has changed. So I picked up the Big Blue Book in the bike shop. I've repaired my own bikes for over 40 years, mainly by trial and error. So when I was greasing the ball bearings in my back wheel and missed putting one of them back I thought it was time to see how to do it properly. The Big Blue Book had the answer - use a magnetized needle (I'm going to magnetize our meat skewer) to move the ball bearings back into place - I had actually used a magnetized screwdriver - the trouble being that the screwdriver would pull out an adjacent ball bearing when I was trying to push another one in. So this book had an immediate solution.

It's full of useful hints like the ball bearing trick, all beautifully illustrated with colored drawings. Detailed steps tell you how to carry out maintenance tasks, and when to take your bike to a shop for more difficult jobs.

Since the book is sponsored by Park Tool, and I already had a few of their tools, it tells you which of their tools to use. Now some of the tools are really specialized for bikes - like the third hand tool to grip a cable. Other tools you may not need to buy if you have a good quiver of hex wrenches.

The book starts by telling you how to get started in bike repair, get a good bike stand and organize hang up your tools on pegboard. It then gives a maintenance schedule for your bike - I'm a little surprised it recommends checking for chain stretch every 100 miles - some must pedal their bikes much harder than I do! It goes on to describe basics like how to mend a flat tire, but then gets into wheel and hub maintenance. Crankset removal is quite tricky unless you have the right tools and it is here where the book shines as it tells you exactly what you need to install or maintain cranks. The book continues with maintenance procedures for gears, brakes, handlebars and headsets.

I like the way the book uses tables to describe the tools required for parts from different manufacturers. At the end of the book is a table with the names of Park Tools that are available by generic tool category. There's also a comprehensive glossary of biking terms. If you have a torque wrench there's a table that explains how much torque is required for certain bike fixtures.

Whether you are just starting to maintain a bike or are an old pro who needs some up-to-date advice, this is a most useful book.

If you bike in flipflops don't buy this book

If you routinely bicycle in flipflops,if you don't know the difference between schrader and presta valves and you've used a flat bladed screwdriver on a bike tire, DON'T BUY THIS BOOK. If however, you consider real Saturday night fun fine tuning your derailleurs for the Sunday ride and you usually have a row of small evenly spaced grease spots on your arm or leg, then you will slap your forehead and exclaim, "They have a tool for that?", when you BUY THIS BOOK. You will discover important techniques for bike maintenance and equally importantly, you will discover tools that make the job much easier and achieve better results. To keep this review short and sweet, I won't repeat the above comments except to say this may well be the most important and useful bicycle maintenance "tool" you ever buy.

Good refeence, good primer

This book is not encyclopedic in scope, no single volume could be, but it does seem to be a good reference for routine repairs of modern bikes. This much I expected. What I didn't expect is how concise it is in explaining the basics and how packed it is with useful background information. I especially appreciate that the author often explains the 'why' as well as the 'how'. I've been an amateur bike mechanic for over 40 years, but I started learning new things and useful techniques from the first few pages. I intend to read it through, cover to cover, but will use it mostly as a reference. The Appendices alone are probably worth the price of the book.

Great Basic Gloves for the Causual Rider

I purchased these gloves becasuse of the mostly positive reviews. There was a negative review or two that talked about these gloves wearing out after a ride or two, but that is not my experience with them at all.

If you are a professional or avid cyclist then these gloves are probably not for you and you should really be purchaing a brand like Peral Izumi or similar. However, if you are just starting out and aren't mountain biking and more of a beginer these are excellent gloves at a very reasonable price, and I would recommend them.

Excellent Glove for Unintended Use

Was looking for a comfortable fingerless glove to wear while operating a motorcycle. Took a chance and ordered these. I'm glad I did, they are perfect for what I need them for, light and comfortable! Bikers, try them, I think you will agree with me, if so I'd like to hear your feedback.

Decent gel padding,

I've been wearing these gloves for 40+ mi road bike rides for a few weeks now 3-4x per week. So far so good, no signs of wear or deterioration, where the fingers meet the palm, which is where the deterioration happens fastest on this kind of glove. They are very comfortable and do a decent job of reducing hand fatigue on long rides. The sizing of the gloves is perfect. I have big hands, and the L/XL size fits very well. Overall, pretty good product.

Great helmet

This bike helmet is stylish and comfortable. To be my first time purchasing and wearing a helmet I thought I would look awkward wearing this however its fits well. I recommend to anyone that is considering buying a bicycle helmet this is definitely a good "bang for your buck" and stylish.

Con: what appeared to be padding and stickers included I could not figure out what to do with them and the manual did not explain where you can place them.

Be safe and wear a helmet if you're just cruising or rock mountain bike.

I like the helmet, but it is not a Giro Gila. The visor is a little too short. It also could use a few more vents. I would recommend this item, but be aware of it's short comings.

I have a pretty big head and most large helmets don't fit me. This one does perfectly, albeit at the top of its range. Similar helmets from Bell are much heavier and dont fit as well.
