Topeak Mount Kit for Road Morph Save 27% off

Topeak Mount Kit for Road MorphI gave this 5 stars even though I haven''t used it. Wanted to let you know that you don''t need to order this if you purchase the Morph G. I didn''t pay close attention and thought I had to purchase a mount kit when I bought the pump. The pump came with a mount kit (identical to this one).

My mistake, but I am ready in case the mount breaks 5 years from now. Pump works great, by the way.

And now I can switch my pump between my road bike and my hybrid. I mean, you can''t ride two bikes at the same time.

Easy to install. It took about 10 minutes. The price was right.

This is identical to the one that comes with the road morph to begin with. I lost mine and needed a replacement, and was glad this one was exactly the same since it works very well. Note that it does need to be screwed in and you might lose a water bottle spot by using this.

I broke the original mount and could not find a decent third party or jury-rig replacement. This is perfect keeps the pump secure and leaves room for my bottles on long rides.

Crocodile Creek - Ferns Youth Drinking Bottle (1050-2) Save 4% off

Crocodile Creek - Ferns Youth Drinking BottlePerfect size for kindergartner and pretty, but the bottom cracked when dropped on cafeteria floor. Before this we had a Sigg that received many many dents from dropping but never cracked.

Mine came a little more yellow/greenish than the nice earthy green/tanish that it shows on my screen. The top opening is small, which is fine for drinking but kind of a pain for cleaning. The bottle brush I had was too thick in the handle to fit inside so I had to get a new one. Overall I like the metal and the screw top lid. The size is nice too, small enough to fit in a purse.

Zefal Gizmo Bicycle Bottle Cage Mounting Bracket (Large)

Zefal Gizmo Bicycle Bottle Cage Mounting BracketI bought this and the Elite VIP cage mount to compare on my vintage folding bike. Having ridden both, I stuck with the Elite; it holds tighter. If you''re in the market you won''t have to worry about sizing with the VIP either. The Gizmo would probably work just as well if you put something underneath the clamp for added friction. And just so you know they come two to a package.

The Zefal Gizmo is an esthetic and non-corrosive way to replace the old corroded cage clamps on my vintage 531 steel steed or any bike without brazed-on bottle mounts.

First, make sure you''ve purchased the correct size/diameter. I purchased a Medium for 1 to 1 1/8" tube. Cages with 2mm thin metal bases (where the hex bolts attach) like Blackburn Competition or Generic/Delta works well but ONE of the large 2 mm semi-circular TABS on the top of EACH plastic base needs to be cut off so the top of the cage base is about even with the top of the remaining tabs and the included hex bolts can then reach and engage the nut threads more completely and without overextending on to the frame.

To cut off the tabs: Scribe a line near the base of the tabs with hobby knife then cut the tabs with a hobby razor saw; or just grind it down with a rotary tool. Main point is to remove the tab/tabs that''s blocking the cage base and preventing the hex bolt from reaching the nut at the bottom for thicker cage bases. The bottom nut is secured in the slot formed by the ends of the band.

For cages with bases thicker than 2mm all four tabs may need to be cut out and may require a longer hex bolt. The four tabs on top of the plastic base are there for a reason (cover the sides of the cage base) but the instructions is just a simple picture without showing how to adapt to different thickness of cage bases.

Zefal could have designed this Gizmo better with included adapters to fit any cage base without having buyers to do the extra modifications. Once fitted and properly tightened on the bike frame, the Gizmo holds the cage snugly and securely and doesn''t seem to be affected by minor road bumps.

Check out my posted pics of modified Gizmo.

Good luck!

This a great mount. It is a little difficult to attach but once on it fits nice and secure. It is easily adjustable and looks great.

I''ve read in a couple reviews that some manual adjustment with a roto-tool is needed to make these fit. Well nuts to that. I suppose if I were going to get the toolkit out, I ought to just braze some mounts onto the bike myself.

Anyway, these don''t fit any of the cages that I own, at least not without taking a chunk out of the mount, the cage or both. Even if I were so inclined to do that, these things look so goofy with their 1-in standoffs, I couldn''t see mounting this to a bike with a straight face.

Skip this one.

I cannot get the included bolts to mount even the thinnest water bottle cage. Maybe there is some specially-designed cage it is suitable for? If so, it sure would be nice to have instructions to that effect.

Schwinn Alloy Bicycle Water Bottle Cage

Schwinn Alloy Bicycle Water Bottle CageDue to the type of material and/or the forging process used, this cage broke the first day we owned it. To be fair, the bike was pushed onto a bike rack, and that is technically what caused the cage to break. However, we have other metal water bottle cages and the materials used would preclude the same things happening. I''m not a materials expert, but I know that the material used to make this cage is, relatively speaking, brittle.

Very happy with my purchase! As expected, great fit! It fits my Schwinn bike exactly like it is supposed to.

I have 4 of them, 2 on each of my bikes. They work perfect and are really sturdy. They do what they''re supposed to do. Love them. Great buy! I posted some pics, check them out.

The cage inexplicably cracked and separated where it was welded or otherwise attached to the separate mounting bracket. It was on the bike for no more than 10 days of riding. I bought this cage because I thought Schwinn still represented reasonable quality and durability. However, this particular Schwinn product was a waste of money. I have one more that has not cracked yet but I will replace it anyway because I don''t want it to fail on the road somewhere.

Kelsyus Floating Cooler Save 30% off

Kelsyus Floating CoolerI was fairly set on getting a cooler for the pool. Nothing hurts your feet more than the hot pavers around the pool baking in the sun when you have to walk over to the garage fridge to grab another drink.

I purchased it based on the price and the 2 good reviews on Amazon.

Pros:

Easy to inflate

Made of fairly tough material

Cord to attach to yourself to keep your beer near you

Inflates Easily

Ice stayed cold/frozen for quite a while

Drinks fit snugly into the holders

Cons:

With ice, I barely got 6 bottles of beer in this cooler. I know the description mentions cans, but I haven''t drank beer from a can since college.

Overall, if you are buying this for personal use, pick one up, it is a very good little cooler. But if you are buying this so that friends dont have to get up and go to the fridge when they are swimming at your house, buy a few of them...they don''t hold nearly enough.

This cooler is amazing!!! I was looking for something like this for a real long time and the wait was worth it, just think about being inside a pool or the beach and you don''t have to get out to get your beverage (works incredible with beer bottles) or a refill. It holds up to 6 bottles or cups in the cupholdres, so there''s enough place for your and your buddies drinks. The cord is really useful to get it around your wrist so it won''t get carried away by the tide.

An awesome product for anyone who likes the outdoors fun in the water and the price is a bargain.

Cooler was better made than expected for the price. Also we were able to place about 10 beverages in the cooler with ice. The cooler floated down a 6 mile river raft ride (pretty mellow class 1) kept everything cold and came away with no damage.

The cooler is made to be portable with it''s built in case... takes a little sense to get the case to self store though. Once you have it assembled yes assembled, this cooler is the best. Very well made. Spacious. It has six cup holders built in around it. Get one of those automotive self extinguishing ashtrays and just pop it in a cup holder and you have a self contained floating bar. Cigarettes and cell phones fit in a zippered side pocket and are very safe from getting wet. This cooler just makes my sunburn a little more tolerable.... great product.

I use this with an above ground pool, and it works well. The waves don''t topple it, and the numbered container holders keep people from drinking the wrong beverage.

Even on super hot days, the cooler -if kept with ice -does a fine job of chilling the beverage.

Well worth the money!

Nathan Push and Pour Double Wall Insulated 500ml Bottle

Nathan Push and Pour Double Wall Insulated 500ml BottleKeeps beverage cold all day!!! It fits perfectly in my car cup holder and treadmill cup holder at the gym. I have not tried hot liquids in it yet. Love the sleek design. Just wish it could hold slightly more liquid, as I am used the 750ml size with my old Nathan stainless steel bottle. I will likely have to bring both bottles on gym days, since I usually drink most of the 750ml during the day and don''t have access to drinking water to refill it. It was unclear from the description if it contained a straw like the other Nathan Stainless Steel Bottles. While it does not contain a straw, you can still open it with just one hand. You do have to lift the bottle up and/or tilt your head back to get the water. This is good in that you get more water per gulp and don''t have any parts (straw) to replace. However, if you are prone to choking when drinking with your head tilted, you might want to opt for the straw type bottles.

Had this bottle about a year and the bottom rubber came off during a fall. It split so couldn''t be glued back on. I ordered another one because I thought it was a fluke. I''ve had it less than 2 weeks. It took it''s first tumble and the orange seal on the top came off! Can''t put it back on. I feel like I''ve wasted my $$. I am going to try to contact the company regarding a warranty... at least for the second bottle. It was definately defective. At least I got some use out of the first bottle.

Resolution: I emailed Nathan Sports about the bottles breaking. I did not receive a return email or phone call with a response... better yet a new bottle arrived on my door step by the end of the week. Thank you for your speedy resolution Nathan Sports. The new bottle is "going strong." The other one must have been defective.

Polar 24oz - Insulated Water Bottle 24oz Eco Metallic Green

Polar 24oz - Insulated Water Bottle 24oz Eco Metallic GreenI bought one of these on a whim and thought that it probably wouldn''t keep it any cooler then my other water bottles I was wrong. After an hour long spin class the water is still cold and over 2 hours later there is still ice in the bottle. I now own 2 of these and have friends who have them too none of us have ever had leaks and we all find that they keep the water cool.

They are also BPA free and easy to clean.

This is a perfect product for all types of weather. Fluids stay cool in high heat and long bike rides. I can always hold the bottle without temperature transfer to my hands. The notch in the middle makes it easy to grip. It is safe to use and does not contain what ever that stuff is that makes plastics bad! Thanks for that.

I rarely review anything but I''ve been using these bottles for years. I have tried others, thinking that there is something better out there but I have yet to find a product that works as well as the Polar bottles. Stainless steel, other insulates, nothing works as well for me.
