Cateye AU-100

Posted: 10/02/04

'BRIGHT AND LEGAL.'

Strengths:
Bright, and legal for road use.

Weaknesses:
HUGE

Overall:
Great light at a good price...one thing though, on closer inspection it's illegal to have a flashing light attached directly to a bicycle...be warned.

'THE BEST BIKE MAG GOING.'

Strengths:
Real XC bikes, exotic locations, race news, comprehensive pull out workshop and maps, new product reviews, easy to read.

Weaknesses:
Sometimes they have dirt jumping bikes. Poor quality free gifts sometimes.

Overall:
Prined on good paper and in a good style. It's a shame they stopped having all the scantily clad women in the workshop part.

Easton XC EC70 Carbon H/bars

Posted: 25/06/03

'PERFECT.'

Strengths:
Light weight, great looks, prestige.

Weaknesses:
They're more expensive than aluminium.

Overall:
These are one of the best handlebars available - bettered only by the EC90 which has a higher carbon weave. They have the correct rice (lo-rise for me) and a good sweep. GREAT!

Shimano Bottom Bracket XT Splined

Posted: 25/06/03

'THE WORST MTB PRODUCT AVAILABLE.'

Strengths:
Paper weight (I don't mean it's light).

Weaknesses:
They wear out after only 5 rides. The bearings are ok, but the spindle is not very stiff and the splines wear badly.

Overall:
If there was ever a product worthy of a slamming, it's this - never have I been so disappointed.

Specialized Rockhopper A1 Pro FS

Posted: 25/06/03

'NICE TO LOOK AT BUT A BIT FLIMSEY.'

Strengths:
Great value, brilliant paintjob, light ride and excelent climber.

Weaknesses:
Flimsey, weak downhill ride.

Overall:
It's an ok beginner bike but you will soon find its shortfalls.
