Silicone Treadmill Lubricant
I use this on my manual treadmill. The application is pretty difficult. It comes with a spray nozzle, but it doesn''t really help to get the product sprayed as far into the middle as possible. I''ve ended up putting on gloves and spraying the lubricant on my hand; then, rubbing the underside of the loosened belt to the middle on the both sides. Either buy a better nozzle to make spraying easier, or use gloves like I did. Good product despite the nozzle issue. I think this came with a belt cleaner as an added bonus when I bought it in Jan 2012.
Oh, yah it also works OK to lube the slide or action of firearms if you don''t have anything specifically for that purpose already on hand.

Product came exactly as described. Cleaner works pretty well on my 8-year old treadmill and lube seems to work well, but, as another reviewer mentioned, is difficult to spray with the included sprayer. I may have to dig up a different bottle to spray with, as the included spray top doesn''t work well at any kind of angle. Great product for the price.Read Best Reviews of Silicone Treadmill Lubricant Here
The belt lubricant works great and the belt cleaner is a nice bonus but the spray bottles that are included are cheap and pretty useless. They give you the kind where you press down on top of the nozzle to spray.The reason they''re bad is because they don''t squirt very far and not much comes out either. So you would have to hold the nozzle as close as you can to the center of the treadmill, which is where you''re supposed to spray the lube. Unfortunately, if the treadmill belt isn''t loose enough so you can lift it high enough to insert the bottle you''ll have to hold the bottle sideways and spray. Except it doesn''t spray when you hold it sideways. It''ll spray a couple times and then stop. Then you have to take it out from underneath the belt, turn it upright, and repeatedly press down on the nozzle to get it going again. When it starts spraying again you''ll get excess lube on the edges of the treadmill which you have to wipe off. Then when you turn it sideways again it''ll spray a few times and then stop and you have to keep repeating this process over and over. Your index finger will get tired very quickly doing this. Needless to say it''s very frustrating.
What I suggest, if you don''t already have one, is to go to walmart or some place and get one of those little 99 cent hard plastic spray bottles with the squeeze handle. Those can be tilted sideways and still spray well. You can use the cheap spray bottle they give you for the belt cleaner, but for the lubricant you need one with a squeeze handle.
Just be careful not to spray too much lube under the belt with the squeeze handle type bottles. They squirt out a lot more than the push nozzle bottles. You''re supposed to use 1 oz. of lube for the belt, which is about 2 Tablespoons. So just spray it like once in the top center and once in the middle center and test out the treadmill. If you need more, spray sparingly after that.

My treadmill kept short circuiting after every ten minutes. Was going crazy. I was skeptical that the belt lubricant would do anything but online blogs indicated that it might. They were right! My treadmill works fine now and it no longer short circuits. Really cool!
Washington Redskins NFL 2pc Black Ceramic Coffee Mug Set
I bought these mugs for a Christmas gift for my son. He''s an avid Redskin fan. The mugs are heavy ceramic and hold the heat well so your coffee stays hot. The graphics are clear and haven''t faded in 6 months of continuous use. The mugs are dishwasher safe. The mugs have been placed in the dishwasher nearly every day and haven''t shown any fading or discoloration from the dishwasher. I''d recommend them to anyone looking for a good mug.
Ravx Gamma X Carbon Water Bottle Cage Save 15% off
Have had two of these cages on my road bike for 4 years now. They are worth every penny! They are by far the best looking cages out there, and they make my great-looking bike look even better. They are durable and have held up well, and I use the larger 24 oz bottles in them. If you buy, you will not be disappointed!
Timberline Stanless Steel water Bottle (26 ounce) Save 26% off
This is their new re-designed cap style bottles. I can not speak to the new style (although I think I would prefer it). We have the older Sport style caps and bottles. However, I did want to share my experience. We bought a 3 pack of the older design bottles last year. My 12 yr old was flipping the bottle in the kitchen and broke the plastic top when it hit the concrete floor. He was upset as it is his favorite water bottle. I wrote to their customer service department by e-mail to ask if it was possible to get a replacement cap. I would have been willing to purchase one as the bottle was no good without it. I received a reply within 12 hours and they graciously sent 2 replacement caps for free, which I had within the week. We are back in business! They stand by their product and have great customer service!Save 26% off
Camelbak 50 oz Antidote Replacement Reservoir Save 23% off
I purchased this reservoir to replace the 50 oz one I''ve had for three years. The replacement fits into my Camelbak just like the old one did. The improved design (hose detaches from mouthpiece and reservoir) makes this version much easier to clean. Great update!
Buy Camelbak 50 oz Antidote Replacement Reservoir Now
We purchased this to go in a smaller Camelbak backpack for our 4-year-old. We live in Phoenix and were having a hard time getting him to drink just plain water because carrying around a water bottle of any kind was too cumbersome for our adventurer! This is VERY dangerous for Phoenicians. Enter Camelbak. Good for adventurers of all ages, it fits seamlessly into smaller packs, and our son needs a refill only once every morning. Love it!Read Best Reviews of Camelbak 50 oz Antidote Replacement Reservoir Here
I flat out love the detatchable hose feature of this bladder. I have two hoses, one from my 100 oz, the other from my 50 oz. and I''ve put in an in-line Sawyer SP121 filter on one. The ability to easily swap back and forth, even with a full bladder is fantastic.However, on several occasions when I''ve overstuffed my camelbak the pressure against the full bladder caused leaking in the seam between the bladder and the transition to the hard threaded plastic where the lid goes. Nothing catastrophic and once the pressure is off the leaking ceases entirely, but I find myself using my next larger pack than I would normally take because of this problem.
It''s not enough to dissuade me from using it over my older bladders, but it is a disappointment given how much I appreciate the other features.

I bought this to put into my 5.11 RUSH 12 backpack for day hikes and for long distance bike riding and it has been outstanding! Easy to fill and install inside my pack and is very intuitive to use. Holds a good amount of water too (50 oz in this case, but you can get other sizes if you need more). I''ve worn it on almost a dozen bike riding trips and it has had no leaks, spills or other issues. Also doesn''t shift around inside the backpack, as long at the hook at the top is attached to the strap in the water compartment of my RUSH 12.What more can I say? It''s a Camelbak for Pete''s sake! They pretty much wrote the book on this type of portable hydration technology and this is yet another quality product by this company. I love mine and have no problem recommending them to everyone. My roommate just bought this same reservoir and he loves his too. If you''re a hiker, cyclist, mountain biker or an outdoor adventurer of any sort, I highly recommend you go buy this product (or others in the Camelbak line). You won''t be sorry!

I bought this as a Christmas gift for my dad. And apparently it meets his quality standards because he put it on his trailer today! Maybe I didn''t read the whole description, but I assumed it was metal, and it was plastic. But it was thick plastic, and if it is taken care of well, it will be just fine.Save 16% off
