Easy to set up and super sturdy. I have a heavy commuter bike with tons of accessories and this stand holds it without even so much as a wobble. Using this stand you will have worry free time to just concentrate on fixing your bike. It is definitely worth the money.

The Wii came quick and before schedule date. It is a lot of fun and we love playing with it. IT seems that everyone has a Wii.
Park Tool SW 13

I like the quality of Park Tools in general, so I replaced my last floor pump with the ParkTools PFP-4 after finding my kids left my last pump in the snow and rain. The construction quality did not disappoint. The pump has a good, solid feel to it. Heavy aluminum (?) barrel; wide, stable base; long hose; thick handles with softer grips (which are still too hard to be considered “padded,” but which do allow for a better grip than harder plastic); high pressure. The head accepts both presta or schrader valves, but its design is not the best I’ve seen and requires a lot of pressure to open and close the head latch. (Difficult to place and remove one-handed unless you have the hands and grip of a gorilla.) Guage cannot be zeroed, but seems to be relatively accurate so far. The biggest disappointment for me, however, is the poor efficiency of the pump. You get relatively little air from each stroke into the tire, meaning more strokes to get to desired pressure. (Piston seems to “bounce” at the bottom of the barrel on a cushion of air which doesn’t get moved into the tire.) I’ll probably go with another make and model after this pump gets left outside this winter. (I still like Park Tools in general, however.)
Park Tool PFP 4

This is so much easier to use than the window mount! Just put it wherever you want it on the dash and it stays there…it swivels to get the best view and then locks in place…and it’s easily whisked off the dash for hiding on the floor when leaving your vehicle. Sooooo glad I purchased it…

It is so much fun using the Garmin 305. I bought it a year ago in order to push my motivation since I train by myself.
Once you adjust the screens according to your personal needs, It becomes easy to use, very friendly and accurate.
It’s a big watch, but it’s not heavy at all and it fits very comfortably around the wrist. And you can check the screen easily while you are running.
Useful for all types of trainig: Speed work, pace run, repetitions, everything can be programmed in advanced, and you can even run either against the watch, with the virtual partner feature or against your own previous runs. Excelent aid for a race. You are able to check your pace per kilometer and your heart rate without pushing any button, with the autolap function, and from there, adjust your effort in relation to the length of that race.
The only problem I had was at downloading my training programs and courses from the computer into the watch, It gave me some headaches, and I never managed to do It right, the computer wouldn’t recognize the information when I tried to upload it back again, so I decided to ignore that feature. Other than that and in spite of that problem, I love my watch, and I highly recomend it.
Park Tool Bottom Bracket

Park Tool PCS-!0. This is a really great stand. It is heavy enough to remain stable, but folds very easily and can be moved or stored quickly. The “clamp” at the top is easy to use and allows both horizontal (top tube) and vertical (seat tube) placement. Its also tall enough to hold the bike at a level that does not require stooping or sitting to get access to the bottom bracket and rear cassette.

Works like a charm. Finally a product that does what Park Tool CG-2 Chain Gang Chain Cleaning System claims it will, and at a reasonable price. It is easy to find additional cleaning fluid. Even your most stupid friend can figure this one out (and I have proved that a few times in the first week of owning it).

All-around awesome game!. Monopoly is one of the most fun games that i’ve played. A game can last for days, literally, but LeapFrog Leapster Learning Game: Scholastic My Amusement Park teaches kids how to manage their money reasonably. I have the computer version as well, and I can play with my friends or against the computer, which can be hilarious! most people don’t see how it helps us (kids & teens, to be precise), but it does in a lot of ways. it teaches you how to have fun while being careful so that you don’t go bankrupt, and it teaches you to count your money carefully, which i sometimes have problems with…. i would suggest monopoly to anyone, whether you’re 7 or 107, it’s fun to play!
