Have you tried the model tested, or just making random negative comments? If you've tried them why can they "blow" you?
mikelevy commented under mikelevy's blog ( 20 hours ago )
I don't "need" it, but it's a neat thing to have. As mentioned, dogs like to feel like they have a job to do. And it is certainly nice to have them carry a few essentials for those shorter rides when you don't feel like wearing a pack.

Yup, she is a Shiba.

Would love to hear what kind of pack it is. The model tested didn't fare well..
mikelevy commented under mikelevy's blog ( Jan 25, 2012 at 10:20 )
Not so much.. look at the knuckle.

@HartofDarkness - It sounds like you've had a lot of time on the X-Guide, correct? I have to disagree with all of your feedback.. I never had any of those issues. Maybe it was a setup issue for you? The spacing on mine is perfect, the chain doesn't get jammed anywhere, and it certainly doesn't get "mucked up the pulleys spin the bolt out". But then again you said that it "was a sample sram gave to my friends...". Is there a possibility that it was pre-production? Maybe not set up correctly?

I love the Hammerschmidt! I have two on the go, one of them have been in use for years no with absolutely zero maintenance (minus replacing BB's). Still looking to do a review, stay tuned.

Killer info, Noah. Great to see some insight from the MRP in the comments!

Have to say I used to hate bringing my phone on rides, but with the improved cameras I find myself using it a lot more. Not having to take off my bag is a huge plus, but I can certainly see not wanting the Vault if you don't pull your phone or camera out that often.

@Skrinek - The strap is not only not long enough to go over most saddles (even when slammed), but it also is unlikely to stay put.

@mudd - The straps don't come loose, no matter how rough the road is.

Hey Mike,
Where did you get your Quickstix loctite from? Looks great and it seems it would be better than the messy liquid stuff.
Thanks

Hey Mike, I keep having comments of mine getting removed. You can see on my profile that I left a comment on the T-Mo racing article that came out today, and it is nowhere to be found on the article. If my comments are being auto removed, please let me know. Also, I had a comment removed from "Blopes55 on X-fusion" article. That comment can also be seen on my profile. If I am being censored, I'd like to know. Thanks for your assistance in the matter, and thanks for running a stellar site!

Hey Mike. There is another way you can change your pedal pins. You can't drill trough every pedal model on the market(like my point alien), so you can cut the screws down to size, re-make the thread and locktite them in, but locktite isn't necessary if you torque the bolts a bit. no even one of the screws i put in fell of, only ones that came off were pulled of by rocks or roots. Have a good one and hope this helps. Possibly update this to today's Tech Tuesday?

Hello Mike,
I enjoy your product reviews. In regards to the Oakley Jawbones, I was having a similiar problem with the fogging of the lenses. I swaped out the nose pieces (the larger one) so the glasses sat a little further away from my face and it did the trick for me. I think it will depend on you face and nose shape.
Keep up the good work and Merry Christmas.
