Some Food For Thought When Considering Bike And Gear

By Yusuf Abdi


The huge tires, disc brakes, and big front shock make the Diamondback 29'er Mountain Bike a real tough looking bike. This bike is amazingly comfortable! This 24-speed bike hard tail mountain bike has 29-inch wheels. It is built well enough for triathlon riding with its aluminum Overdrive hard tail frame. However, one would expect that the 8-speed trigger shifters would make it much easier to shift gears.



Rocks and tough trails are nothing to the Diamondback Overdrive 29'er. It is reasonably priced, coming in at around $500. When shipment arrives, there is still some assembly required, but this is easily done with just a few tools. It only takes a bit of tuning to get it ready to roam the streets, trails and ride in the park.

Protection is the key to making safe journeys on a bike and with the Giro Aeon Bike Helmet, this is a no brainer. All it takes is measuring to get the right fit, a few small adjustments, and place this light weight helmet on the head for proper fit. It has enough venting to make it really comfortable. The easily removable straps and padding are just part of what make it evident that real workmanship went into making this helmet.

At $140, the Giro Aeon Road Bike Helmet may be a little pricier than other helmets, but you always get what you pay for. It is well worth the price to have quality protection when you never know what it coming around the next corner. Anyone living in heated climates that are notorious for high humidity will understand the importance of the ample venting of this light weight helmet. Some say it feels as if there is nothing on their head, and the sweat just evaporates away.

The Schwinn Prelude Bicycle is certainly for the serious commuter. It is rough and tough, but light weight as well. Speed is also a consideration when it is time to get to work or just around town. Although it may not be as impressive looking as some, it will hold up for years to come, and is reasonably priced.

The Schwinn Prelude Bicycle is well balanced with easy shifting, and the brake calipers do what they are supposed to by keeping the tires centered. This bike does have some drawbacks though. One that must be addressed is the brake position. Precious milliseconds are wasted getting to them which can mean trouble in a hurry. Some assembly is needed to get this bike on the road, and some have noticed the chain rubbing the frame. Although, at $250 it is a steal. After all, what other adult bicycle can you get for under two hundred dollars?
