Marcy Club Revolution Cycle Save 32% off
I reluctantly bought this bike cuz the original bike I was gonna purchase had jumped in price $100 overnight. I was going to return it, which Amazon was great about, but the box was damaged on delivery and could not easily find a replacement box. So I decided to keep it.The bike does not fill well to its base. Some other parts also don''t fit securely together, the paint job is terrible, the rubber on the handle bars was split about an inch long(on arrival) and the bike seat I could not get to tighten enough. I almost fell off when I tried to test it. I ordered a new seat, so I can at least ride it now. The flywheel is decent and quiet, but the bike feels unsturdy and is very poorly made. What did I expect for the price? at least to arrive free from defects! I would not bother. Spend a little more and get something much better! This bike sucks!

I think it''s great quality, it''s vert sturdy. Just when your riding the seat comes loose and the handle bars as well so you have to keep tighting as you go but that happens with the ones from the gym as well. For the price it''s a great deal the bike is not going to fall apart. And it''s very strong, I am a heavy person, and the bike can hold me with no problem.Read Best Reviews of Marcy Club Revolution Cycle Here
This stationary bike is great. It is a spinning type bicycle, who''s motions most resemble those of a fixed gear bicycle.The flywheel is fixed to the pedals, so as you build momentum then try to ''coast'' your feet are forced to try and keep up, this is a little harder on the knees, but great for circulation and training. It''s motion is much more similar to riding a real bicycle than magnetic resistance or fan/air resistance models.
The pedals are cages you might see on a mountain bike. They are standard threads, and I intend on replacing mine with SPD clips but there is no rush as the cages work fine.
It comes nearly assembled. You just have to bolt on a few pieces, no chain work. It comes with the tools to finish the assembly, too To move the assembled bike, posh down on the handle bars and the bike will balance nicely on it''s moving wheels. If you have a large closet (in my case an unused hallway) you can very quickly roll it in and out of storage (get it out of the living room when you have guests over)
The seat is OK to good. You can comfortably balance on ihands free or hover above it for a more intense workout. the handle bars are ok too. There is a lever for tension on the flywheel (resistance). It has 3 positions that take some time to tune. There is no timer, rpm meter/speedometer, and no odometer. If the bike was not of good quality, these missing features would lower it''s rating. But it is a solid piece of equipment. I do recommend it.
Perhaps the best feature is how quiet it is. This bike replaced a Schwinn AirDyne, which was as loud as a vacuum cleaner.
So, this cycle gets 5 stars

Nathan 10-Ounce Nutrition Flask (3 Pack)
The bottles that come in the Nathan Speed 4R Water Belt are 8 oz, but these 10 oz bottles will fit in the holders, but it''s tight. They don''t come out nearly as easily, but you can put them in and take them out with two hands, while running. You should know that after I discovered how tight they fit and that you have to use two hands to really push them in, I decided to stick with my 8 oz bottles. It''d be nice if they could make them just a tad taller to keep the width down. Either that or design the water belts a bit better to account for this. But again, if you really need them in the belt, they''ll fit.If you''re not familar with the quality of Nathan products, it''s pretty good stuff, or at least, better than any other option I''ve used. Their bottles aren''t 100% water tight, but can come close. If you lay them down on the floor mats of a car and you have some gel or sports drink in them, it''s possible that you might stain your carpet a bit. If you''re not paying close attention when putting the tops on, you can think you''ve screwed it on tight, only to discover during your run when water is dripping down your leg that you cross threaded it. Cross threading them is a really, really easy thing to do.
I''ve been freezing these bottles (without the tops on) and have had no problems at all. Oh yeah, the tops are also the same size as the tops on the 8 oz bottles, so you can mix and match those if you need. One downside though is that these 10 oz bottles DO NOT come with 3 gel tops. Since Nathan doesn''t sell the gel tops seperately, if you want the gel tops, then you need to buy a 3-pack of the 8 oz race bottles. Seriously???
If you don''t know, the Nathan water belts that use this type of water bottle only come in a 2 or 4 bottle option. For Nathan to sell the 10 oz "upgrade" bottles in ONLY a 3-pack, well, that''s a sleezy marketing tactic. Nobody needs 6 of these bottles, but yet, for those that want 4 of them, you have no other choice. Jerks.
I was unable to locate just the replacement water bottles at any sporting goods stores or speciality running stores in my area. I didn''t want to replace whole belt, hence my reason for purchasing on-line. I was disappointed to see the replacement bottles at a recent expo for a local race. I wish I would have waited, and saved the money for shipping and handling.

I have used the belt only twice and while its comfortable, on the 2nd run one of the bottles came loose and fell on the ground, which broke the top of the bottle so I lost all the water. I would have expected the bottles to be more durable than this.Read Best Reviews of Nathan 10-Ounce Nutrition Flask (3 Pack) Here
I ordered these to go in my Fuel Belt, because the Fuel Belt bottles smelled so badly/strongly of plastic, that I couldn''t see drinking out of them. But, the Nathan bottles are wonderful!! Easy to use, no plastic smell, and fit great in the 2-bottle Fuel Belt for long runs!Want Nathan 10-Ounce Nutrition Flask (3 Pack) Discount?
Purchased these after dropping one during my HM race. Same thing as before just another great product from Nathan. Good job Nathan.

Angry Birds 24 Ounce Aluminum Water Bottle Save 36% off
Not much to say here. I can thread the cap into the bottle and pull it straight out. I may have just gotten unlucky but I''m not sure my son is up to the task of un-threading this cap each time he uses it. Some type of valve would be far more useful. The bottle is pretty thin metal. It''s going to get pretty beat up but ours is going back due to the cap.

Great mug for thirsty people, I gave it four stars because it''s one quarter of an inch to tall to fit in my man caves refrigerator''s freezer. The handle is big enough for my fat hand to fit comfortable, and it''s heavy enough not to be knock over in celebrating a touchdown! GO TAMPA!!

Guyot Designs Splashguard-Original
I have to admit, I didn''t expect much from a small piece of plastic, and I wasn''t really sure what it was for; but I thought what the heckIll give it a try.I bought this to go with our Nalgene 48oz Tritan Bottle. It fits perfect. It sits just inside the mouth opening perfectly. It doesn''t fall in or out, but its easily removed for washing. Its dishwasher safe.
The whole idea of this is to pack your Nalgene with ice, take a drink, and avoid getting a face full of ice. It does its job perfectly. Its easy to drink through, in fact I prefer having it in then not.
Look, just buy it. Its cheap, high quality, it will last forever, and if you like ice, you can''t live without this.

UPDATE: SEPTEMBER 2012

I wrote my original review on this product in December 2010. I''ve now owned this product for a total of 1 year, 9 months.
This splashguard fits in all of our 32oz to 48oz Nalgene containers. It still fits, operates and looks as good as the day I received it. I am extremely satisfied with this purchase and the price I paid. This is definitely a highly recommend product by me.
I''m a very pleased, very impressed, and very satisfied customer.
Thanks Guyot. We appreciate quality products at fair prices.

The guyot slash guard is the best that I have seen for a nalgene bottle. It fits snugly and doesn''t come out until you want it to. It is a thousand times better than the nalgene splash guard due to the hole at the top and the bottom to allow for air flow and water drainage.This product is perfect to keep back ice and avoid too large oof mouthfuls. I would recommend it as a necessitity for anyone that owns a nalgene bottle.

I bought another one of these but made out of silicone and would definitely suggest that. These are nice, but the silicone ones fit in better and aren''t such a pain to put it. Not bad, but hard plastic might not be the way to go.

I can see all the would-be carb clogging gas junk caught in the filter now. also is nice to see if the the level in the filter to see if the fuel pump is sucking it away and/or if the prime bulb is pushing the fuel into the filter. both fittings were too big for my TOHATSU 9.9 HP though.

The filter is advertised as a universal inline filter. But the package stated it is for marine(outboard motors only)? Went to the local auto parts and found a Moeller filter with molded intake and filtered output nipple.Which works fine for my application (antique car). It was disappointing but not earth shattering to receive a
product from on line which was advertised wrongly.

Trudeau Spritzer Bottle
I got this because I had another Trudeau water bottle that I broke and loved the straw on it. This one has a little bit smaller of a straw but it''s still a nice water bottle. I use it while running and daily while I work in an office. I wish they would put a rubber grip to keep the bottle from being so cold, but other than that the product is worth the money!

Outdoor Products .5 Liter Frosted Tritan BPA-Free Water Bottle
I''ve done enough stuff in the outdoors to know that Nalgene is the leading producer of water bottles and many people would argue they are also the best. However, Nalgene has come under some controversy in recent years because of the use of Bisphenol A (BPA) which has been shown in tests to affect gene expression. Nalgene has claims (and perhaps rightfully so) that BPA is only potentially released from their products when "used at temperatures outside of the designed range". Nalgene bottles are known for withstanding extreme temperatures, both hot and cold, and for being extremely durable. With the controversy of BPA, several competitors to Nalgene have risen in the past few years. Though not "new" to the market, Outdoor Products is one such competitor. I recently purchased the OUTDOOR PRODUCTS .5 LITER BPA-FREE WATER BOTTLE. I have used it on a couple of camping trips and for a few weeks during my workouts. It is a decent water bottle. So, it does the job it says it does. It''s also pretty inexpensive. Also, my bottle came with a free carabineer.On the negative side, unlike Nalgene bottles, you can''t place boiling liquids in this bottle. I also don''t think this bottle is as durable as a Nalgene: climbers I know used to drop their Nalgene bottles off of a 40 ft. climbing tower they frequent to make sure the bottle was a true Nalgene because a true Nalgene would withstand the fall without a crack or dent; I don''t think this water bottle would withstand such a fall. Lastly, the biggest negative is that the Outdoor Products water bottles are all made in China. I try to buy "Made in the USA" merchandise when I can and you can''t do that with any Outdoor Products water bottles.
If you''re looking for an inexpensive water bottle on the fly, this isn''t a bad buy. However, if you''re looking for something made in the USA or that is durable and can withstand extreme conditions, the Nalgene bottles are still your best bet.

For the price, this is one of the best "shaker" bottles I''ve found. I bring 2-3 protein shakes to work with me every day, and it''s so much easier to have them pre-measured and waiting in a bottle. These are small enough that I can toss a few scoops of protein in them before I leave for work, then leave them in my bag until I''m ready to fill them with water. They don''t leak, even when vigorously shaken; or, if I leave fluid inside, I feel comfortable tossing them in my bag for later. The mouth is large enough to accommodate most sizes of protein scoops without spilling. It easily accepts the scoop from optimum nutrition whey protein, and you can use an even larger scoop if you''re careful (think muscle milk size scoop). It holds just over 16oz of liquid, so that''s more than enough for almost any single or double dose of any protein/supplement you would use. All in all, if you''re looking for a "shaker" bottle for your protein/supplements, or whatever else, this is a great choice. I personally own 8, and I feel like I could have more.Read Best Reviews of Outdoor Products .5 Liter Frosted Tritan BPA-Free Water Bottle Here
