BlinX Wheel Illumination: Purple Review

BlinX Wheel Illumination: PurpleWhen I peeled off the protective surface to access the "3M VHB industrial tape" what it revealed has the sticking power of a post-it. (Also a 3M innovation - was there a factory mix-up?)

I don't know if the solvent had evaporated or what. But that ain't sticking to anything. (I had imagined getting them on my bike wheels or body, which has a similar surface to any pimped out blingy wheels that I can visualize.)

Still, a swell idea. Quite bright. You do have to turn 'em on/off manually, but no biggie. Now I just need to find the right way to attach them to my bike.

Product Description:
BlinX is the hottest wheel accessory since chrome plating. You choose the color(s), placement and quantity for a look as unique as you are. BlinX patented LED's are a cinch to install on any wheel and produce eye popping look, whether you're cruising, drifting or chilling at a car how.Each BlinX package includes 4 Chrome plated BlinX with ultra bright flashing LED?s, batteries pre-installed and a alcohol cleaning pad for quick & easy installation.ÿBlinX LED?s use 3M VHB (Very High Bond) mounting adhesive to ensure maximum grip under all conditions. We recommend using a minimum of 2 (or more) packages of BlinX. This will give you a total of 8 lights (2 per wheel).Using 2 or more lights per wheel will produce a amazing light show on wheels! NOTE: Purple LED?s operate in a ultra violet light spectrum and do not appear as bright to the human eye as other LED lights. Under very low light conditions the BlinX Purple LEDs look awesome, almost like a Black Light on your wheels. Under medium lighting the Purple is not as noticeable, and has more of a subtle glow.

Quik-Stik Tire Changer (colors may vary) Review

Quik-Stik Tire ChangerI don't like other bicycle tire irons compared to this one.

They're too short.They break.

This one makes it easy to install a brand new tire that needs some brute force to stretch it on to the rim.

It's also devoid of any pointed edge so I don't worry about it pinching or puncturing my inner tube.

I also think it's kinder to my rims.

Yeah, it doesn't have the spoke holder that other irons have, but you quickly learn with this tool, they're unnecessary.

Allen Deluxe 3-Bike Spare Tire Mount Rack Review

Allen Deluxe 3-Bike Spare Tire Mount RackI have a 2003 CR-V and this carrier works great.I initially thought I would have some problems with the lower anchors but managed to find two places to hook them.I put two adult bikes and a kids bike on it and they stayed secure for a 30 minute trip with highway speeds.The carrier itself takes less than five minutes to install and folds up to fit in a closet when not in use.

Product Description:
Carry your bicycles as securely as possible and avoid the hassles of piled bikes or high-threshold rooftop mounts with the Allen 303DB deluxe three-bike spare-tire mount rack. Designed to fit nearly all externally mounted spare tires--including those with "Over the Tire" third brake lights--the Allen mount rack is both easy to operate and super secure for your bikes. The rack simply hooks over your spare tire, with a patented design that caries your bikes up high, where it's away from the road and the hot exhaust. The rack's patented tie-down system, meanwhile, individually secures and protects up to three bikes at once. As easy to install as it is to use, the rack sets up in seconds.
About Allen Bike Racks In 1967, after a few years of working on the aerospace technology for the Apollo missions, Dick Allen was out of a job. Government cutbacks led Allen, a Harvard-trained physicist, to transform his garage hobby into a new industry. A cycling enthusiast, inventor, and family man, Allen had a personal need for a bike-carrying device. On weekends, he would take his sons and wife to Cape Cod or the White Mountains of New Hampshire. What proved difficult time and again was the transport of his family's bicycles. Rather than fight through inconvenience with twine and a dinged car, Allen sought an answer for himself as well as a market in which he foresaw major growth possibilities.
Always a pathfinder, Allen took to work in his Lincoln, Massachusetts garage in search of a more efficient way to transport bikes. Drafting designs during the day and constructing them throughout the night, he put together a model made of electrical conduit, metal strapping, and fire hose casings (for padding). At first, the Allens tested the prototype on weekend excursions. Finding the first trunk-mounted rack to be a success, Dick started Allen Bike Racks shortly afterward. Dealer acceptance came quickly, and by 1971 Allen Bike Racks were sold nationally through a number of major bicycle distributors. Today, the company owns over three dozen patents and offers a versatile product line of bike racks while Dick's son Alex now owns and operates the business. What started out as a small garage-run operation now operates three warehouses nationally, two factories abroad, and sells products in more than a dozen countries around the world.
