Something To Consider When Purchasing Bikes And Their Gear

By Yusuf Abdi


The huge tires, disc brakes, and big front shock make the Diamondback Overdrive 29'er Mountain Bike a real tough looking bike. The comfort of this ride is amazing! This 24-speed bike hard tail mountain bike has 29-inch wheels. The aluminum Overdrive hard tail frame means it will stand up to just about anything, even triathlon riding. Nonetheless, shifting gears is not as effortless as one should expect with the 8-speed trigger shifters.


Take a look at this interesting Diamondback Overdrive 29\'er Bike Review



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.

The price of The Giro Aeon Road Bike Helmet is a bit more than some, but let's face it, you get what you pay for. Since there is no way of telling what is around the next bend in the road it is worth paying a bit more for quality protection. 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. This is a tough, light weight, and well-built bike. Speed is of the essence when it is time to be at work, and this bike gives that to you. Although it may not be as impressive looking as some, it will hold up for years to come, and is reasonably priced.

The brake calipers on this Schwinn Prelude Bicycle help keep the tires centered, and it is well balances and easy to shift. Some drawbacks do exist on this bike, however. You cannot get past the position of the brakes. Precious milliseconds are wasted getting to them which can mean trouble in a hurry. It does take some assembly after taking this bike out of the box, and it is a bit complicated, and at times the chain rubs the frame. Nevertheless, this is a steal at $250. When you weigh all your options, you will see that this price is pretty fair for a quality adult bicycle.
