The color of the red shirt on Chainlove is very subdued. If you go to backcountry and look it up, it is much closer to the actual shirt. The highlights are bright orange. Kind of a strange color combination.

These work pretty well, but I have a difficult time clipping into them. I have been using them for a couple of months now and it is still hit or miss after a stop. I will be looking for a different system next time I purchase pedals and shoes. They are quite easy to clip out of though and I have never clipped out accidentally. I pedal pretty hard on the up stroke and these have always stayed clipped.

I attach this to the back of my helmet for my 5:00am rides. I get more respect from the cars than I used to. Definitely worth the money to keep the cars at bay.

I wear these with the clear lens for my 5:00am bicycle rides. I have worn them on rides as long as 3 hours. I never know they are there. I have a largish head. I have not sweat much in them yet as we are having an unusually cold winter here in Florida. The lenses are easy to change and seem to hold very securely. I would highly recommend these. My best purchase yet from Chain Love....

This is a great shifting chain. I am using it on an SRAM Rival set up because it came with the bike. I have had a close call with the chain almost breaking because of an improperly inserted pin from the person I bought it from. Next time I will buy the SRAM Powerlink chain which comes with a link you can take apart by had for easier cleaning.

I got these tires on my first real road bike. I bought the bike to continue exercising to get in shape and loose weight. I ride about 100 miles a week in Orlando, FL on the roads in and around the south side of town. I had my first flat at 400 miles. I have been patching the outer gray part of the tire with shoe "Goop". These tires are very prone to cuts and I would not recommend them for recreational riding. I expect to get about 500 - 600 miles out of these tires. I have already purchased a different set of tires to replace these with because they cut so easily. I think these would be great if you had a separate set of rims for racing and used something else for training.

These shoes are white and black and red, not orange as shown here. Check out the Time website: http://time.nextedia.com/catalog-2008-shoes.1.0.idc.3.html

I have the yellow version and I agree with Matt, they are pretty comfortable for the knees. Sometimes when I am standing and really cranking the "float" can be a little disconcerting. But I have grown accustomed to it after about 800 miles. When these wear out I will probably try some Speedplay pedals.

These are great all round utility biners. Highly recommended.

I love my Giro helmet, I don't even know it's there after a couple of hours.

Breathable, nice light jersey. A little short. I got the large and I am 5'8" around 190lbs, stocky build. It fits me great around the body.

I bought these for work out gloves. My home gym is on the porch and the barbells get very cold in the winter. These do the trick. They also work great on the bike in mild weather. Highly recommended.

I prefer a full fingered glove and these fit the bill. Highly recommended.

These are light, fast, dependable biners. Highly recommended.

Never a question of whether it is locked or not. Very dependable. Highly recommended.

These tubes work great. I never see them until a piece of glass works it's way through the tire. Then I take out the glass and replace the tube. Next...

Nothing beats Black Diamond for reliability. These biners are a sure thing.

This is a great utility biner for all kinds of uses. Lasts years and years...

Light, strong, and I know it's locked.

These shoes are very red, not the orange shown here. Better price here though... Check this link: http://www.coloradocyclist.com/product/item/TIMZARGA

I don't have this exact model, but I love my Giro helmet. I use it for the road and for off-road and it works great for both.

I received the "mega" version in a 43 and they fit very well. Just what the doctor ordered. Somehow, the Sidi are easier to clip into the pedals, the velcro straps "lock" into place, and the buckle works well. I crashed and burned a couple of days ago riding in the dark, but the material held up very well where I scraped it on the asphalt. Highly recommended.

The red helmet has very red flames, not orange ones as shown here. http://www.amazon.com/Giro-Animas-Bike-Helmet/dp/B000BO3CP0 The colors here are a lot closer...

This helmet is very red, not orange as shown here.

I just got a pair of these. My foot has always been somewhere between a regular shoe and a wide shoe. I also have somewhat of a high arch. These shoes do not fit my feet. I will be returning these and getting the "mega" which are made for wider feet. However, the materials, craftsmanship, and overall quality is obviously superior to my current Cannondale shoes. I would highly recommend these if you have a more average foot than mine. I got a size 43 which they call out as a size 9 and the length was correct.

I bought the long fingered version of this glove specifically to help with the numbness in my hands on my mountain bike. They did not change the point in my ride where my hands start going numb. Although the gloves are OK comfort wise and appear to be put together well, they did not help with the tingling feeling. They are actually painful to use on my road bike because of the large pads on the palms. So if you are looking for a large pair, I have one to sell!!

Easy to clip and dependable. Highly recommended.

This is a great product. Works like any other biner, only lighter.

I bought these specifically for the padding and long fingers. They definitely have padding on the palm, but they did not change the time during my ride when my hands fall asleep. To repeat, they did not help the tingling in my hands at all. They seem like pretty good gloves, but don't buy them for the padding. I have large hands with short fingers and the large gloves fit me fine.
