Nice fenders - needs some redesign

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41BT08O9ETL._SL210_.jpg These are overall nice bike fenders. Beings that most new bikes consider fenders optional these will keep you dry. Installation was easy. Problem, I feel, is in the design. The support brackets are adjustable. That's good. The extra portions of the support brackets that are not used are an eyesight sore. That's bad. They should be designed so that the adjustment is at the wheel and not at the fender. In this way the fender has a nice clean look. The extra that is not used at the wheel could then just be nipped off with a wire cutter. I could be wrong but that's my opinion.

Excellent basic wired cyclocomputer

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51ZLEqEMqCL._SL210_.jpgThe BC906 replaced three cheapy Chinese-made cyclocomputers. Two lasted a year and the most recent I gave up on after 3 weeks. I then decided to buy a quality wired cyclocomputer - and the BC906 fitted the bill. I chose wired because I found wireless was affected by my flashing LED headlamp - the flashes were interpreted as speed when the two were adjacent.

I'm very pleased with the BC906 - it's accurate, easy to fit (no tools required), and highly legible. It's easy to set-up although the pictogram-based instruction book is not particularly easy to follow and could be better.

Fantastic seat, even for a short rider

As other have said, this seat is easy to install, comfortable, and easy to steer with, but the best part is that it fits me at only 5'4" tall. Most of the front seats are too wide for my small frame Giant Cypress ST, but this one fits well and I don't have to splay out my knees to ride with it.
