Creo que fue muy buena compra, ligero, y sobre todo muy bueno a la hora de rodar mas de 3 horas, tiene que estar bien colocado para evitar los molestos rechinidos, pero una vez ajustado a los rieles del sillin, es muy confortable y discreto. Muy buena opción para cuadros irregulares que no traen opción para mas de una botella en el cuadro. Compacto y capaz de contener un pequeño taller para reaparar cualquier desperfecto en el camino.

Product Description:
XLab's Hydration and Repair carriers have often been copied, but like any copy, it is never as good as the original. XLab has over a decade of experience designing these carriers and winning more Ironman World Championships than all of their competitors combined. Already endorsed by Michellie Jones, the 2007 Ford Ironman World Champion, this new �wing� will be on winning race rockets for the next several years. One of the key features invented by Xlab is the dual mounting holes for the saddle rail clamps. One position sets the bottle cages close to vertical and the other inclines the cages for rider preference. The bottom line: This is simply the most versatile Hydration and Repair system carrier, complete with 3 straps and all mounting hardware.

Bowflex Series 3 Treadmill Review

Bowflex Series 3 Treadmill
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I did a fair amount of looking before I bought this model and I am very happy with it.I became interested in Bowflex treadmills after Consumer Reports rated the Bowflex 7 series as one if its best folding models.Shopping on Amazon, I realized that Bowflex made 3 folding treadmills--the 3, the 5, and the 7 series.Online, these look very similar, with the 5 and 7 series having longer tracks and a bigger motors.Strangely, the best source of information on these was not the Bowflex website itself (it has *no* information on the 3 ,5 and 7 series treadmills--just those crazy tread climbers), but rather the specs from Amazon.

Consumer Reports indicated that the best way to buy a treadmill was to actually see how the machine felt. I agree. I managed to find a store that had a 7 series in stock.I was impressed.The 7 series was rock stable and has a very nice folding mechanism--it locks in the up position and drops down slowly when released (a great feature if you worry about your kids getting crushed by the track accidentally).Unfortunately, I could not find a dealer that carried the 3 series to try in person, but it seemed like it would be optimal and very cost effective.

I also tried several Nordic Track treadmills in person. These seemed to have very unappealing walking decks (sproingy!, in a bad way) and even on high hp power machines, the motor seemed to power the track very unevenly.

I decided to take a chance that the 3 series would be as sturdy as the 7 series I tried---I am very happy.Amazon shipped the thing super-saver in a relatively short period of time--very appealing! It was very straightforward to assemble once I got the thing in place--parts are labeled and the assembly pictures are really self explanatory.It is also a quiet machine and the deck is *very* sturdy even for a big guy like me (200+ lbs).One quibble--the grip heartrate monitor could work better--sometimes it does not give a reading after even 10 sec of holding.Also, be aware the deck will not lock in the up position unless you reset the incline to 0 degrees.The incline automatically resets to 0 every time the machine is powered on.

I use the machine primarily for walking, for this application it is great, the machine handles inclines and relatively fast walking speeds with no problem. I can't comment on how well this machine compares with others for running fast.For jogging it seems just fine.

A note on delivery and installation.This thing is *very* heavy (~275 lbs).The shipping company chosen by Amazon (Eagle) did a great job.I called them prior to delivery to schedule when they would drop it off--thats the good news.

The bad news, they would only bring it to the threshold (just inside the house).I asked if they would bring it upstairs for an extra fee and they said--"no way."Three calls to moving companies and an estimate of ~$250-300 to move it from my entry up a flight of stairs--this is not a two person job--the shipping box is enormous (80" x 35" x 16").I solved this problem by recruiting my father-in-law (also a big guy).We turned the box on its side, opened it, and moved the main piece (track and motor together) by itself. Make sure not to cut the restraining strap, this keeps the frame and the track held in place making moving *much* easier. Even then, the main piece weighs about 200 lbs and was serious work getting around corners.Very glad at that point that I bought the shorter (56") track!

Overall, a great mo-chine--equal to much more expensive models! Glad I managed to avoid a hernia during installation.

PowerBlock Personal Trainer Adjustable 2.5 to 50-Pounds per Dumbbell Set Review

PowerBlock Personal Trainer Adjustable 2.5 to 50-Pounds per Dumbbell Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I agree that these are the best adjustable dumbbells on the market.However, I would add a few caveats.For starters, it is important to have the PowerBlocks on a level surface and make sure you insert the pin straight across rather than at an angle.If you don't, it is possible that a plate could fall and hit you even with the elastic backup mechanism.It is also very important to put the pin assembly together right side up.If you don't, the magnets that hold this assembly in place don't engage.

On exercises like OVERHEAD triceps extensions, the points above are particularly important.While I think this product is great, it does limit range of motion in some exercises such as upright rows.The dumbbell is rather long and this could be a problem depending upon your frame.However, I wouldn't worry about the square design.I find using these dumbbells to be quite comfortable and the padded grips certainly help.

While this product is quite expensive, it's also the best out there that I know of and I shopped around carefully.It also seems to be the safest and is certainly more convenient, takes up less room and even costs less than a set of full dumbbells that can cover the same weight ranges.

If money is an issue for you, you may want to consider getting the model of dumbbells one tier down from these that adjust in 5 lb. increments and then purchasing adjustable wrist weights in 0.5 increments.This will give you about the same effect for less cost.

Product Description:
The only dumbbell system that can expand to meet your strength needs, PowerBlock dumbbells are the most versatile and effective exercise tool ever developed for strength training. PowerBlocks work intuitively. Rather than requiring you to buy a room full of dumbbells, PowerBlocks act just like a weight stack at the gym, with a weight handle that fits inside the first weight, which fits inside the second, which fits inside the third, etc. When you want to change weights, you simply move the weight selector pin into the appropriate slot and you're set. As you lift the core, all the weights above the selector pin are lifted at the same time, turning your 3-pound dumbbell into a 6-pound dumbbell, or your 6-pound dumbbell into a 12-pound dumbbell. Not only is the system remarkably easy to use, but it's also cost- and space-efficient, as a single pair of dumbbells can do the work of dozens.
This personal trainer set is a hybrid system that employs the weight stack from PowerBlock's Personal Set and the handles of the Elite Set. As a result, users can achieve every 2.5-pound jump within the weight range of 2.5 to 50 pounds per dumbbell, in effect doing the job of 40 individual weights. Even better, the weights are more compact and balanced than traditional dumbbells, with a padded handle that protects people with weak wrists. Best of all, the free weights are terrific whether you're trying to build muscle mass, firm and tone your physique, or get rid of unwanted body fat. The personal trainer set is not expandable and is compatible with the Elite/Pro weight stand. It also carries a limited 10-year warranty.

Cap Barbell Weight Set with Threaded Bar (Black, 1-Inch/100 Pound) Review

Cap Barbell Weight Set with Threaded Bar

We ordered this item along with a bench set for our sons 14th birthday. Although this is a GOOD item- we purchased together to save $$ (it was more to purchase a barbell separate) As we got it together we learned it does NOT FIT on the bench set it was offered with. It should NOT have been put together as a "buy together to save". Beings we live in AK and shipping was horrendous as it was- we chose to just "make do" rather than ship back/reorder.

CAP Barbell Adjustable Slant Board Review

CAP Barbell Adjustable Slant Board
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
6'0" 285lbs.
Packaged arrived quickly.Unit appears well built except for end caps on leg bars.
They just do not seem to want to stay inserted into the ends of the leg bars.
I will have to use a glue to keep them seated.
Assembly was a snap. Found it easier just to look at the photograph and
work with that.All, not just these, instructions suck.
First time I tried to fit my feet under the lowest foot bar I had to work my
size 13 feet in the sides by pointing my toes down, wiggling my ankles back and
forth. When I tried to then lay down I found the stress on my back was huge.
I had to stretch, grab bench back board and ease myself down and this was at
the highest level. Forget the highest incline, I'd never make it in my
current shape. I found by putting my toes under the highest bar and
bending my knees such as using at bed frame or heavy chair, I could do
scrunches (Spelling) and modified full sit ups.Board is not long
enough at this position for flat leg sit ups.Using it this way I might
as well be laying on the carpet and use the bed frame. Heck of lot more
room to work out. As I progress and can actually manage a couple of dozen
true "hands behind the neck, bent knee sit ups" I expect using the
lower foot bars and having the unit on a steeper incline will become
easier and possible. Don't know what to tell anyone buying this particular unit.
I neither wish to tell you this make is great nor tell you not to
waste your time.I only wish to inform you of what I found and what
I expect I'll have to do to get a return out of my dollar.
