Diamondback 2001 Reactor Pro

Advantages: Superb looking and repectable brand
Disadvantages: slightly uncomfortable ride

...I must admit this bike is by far the best I've ever had even if it isn't perfect. I recently brought this bike for around £500 and although I've never looked back as to be honest I've got a bike from one the the most respected bike brands in the world. So far I've only used the bike off road once and i must say i was reasonably disappointed.This is because a felt the 4 bar linkage system suspension was rather disappointing. When i ride this bike on the road the suspension is very capable of providing a ver comfortable ride however if like me you like to cycle off road now and then I must say this bike is not made for it. That however does not mean this is poor diamondback as that is just not possible. It looks absolutely fantastic and for £500 i don't think you will get another bike from a brand with this much respect with Manitou 6... Read review

Advantages: Looks Good, Smooth Gears, Hardcore, Not Too Light Or Too Heavy, Comfy Ride, Good Grip
Disadvantages: Brakes Should Be Hydraulics, Forks Should Have Slightly More Travel

...The Chucker is now available online at around £320 in the black colour or £350 for the blue (which looks better in real life than it does in the pictures). The Chucker handles jumps really well and, although the bash ring [the front part where the gear change happens- normally has about 3 cogs in it] is not best for speed & long distance road riding (I managed 40 miles in a day) but keeps the chain on during jumps. All the SRAM parts [all the parts to do with gears - changers, derraillier...] are capable of a lot of thrashing about and have a really smooth change. The rear derraillier [the mechanism that moves the chain from one gear to another] even stayed together with my friend jumping on it. It is perfect for stunts as the front & forks are not too light (as in the Diamondback Groove) so you do not fall backwards during jumps... Read review

Advantages: Extra distance with the driver. Excellent control and spin. Well priced high performance golf ball for the average golfer.
Disadvantages: Meaningless advertising.

...before you had quite literally cut the cover to ribbons! So golf ball manufacturers began to develop "compromise" balls. These are solid two-piece golf balls (as distinct from the wound rubber in a balata ball) which fly much further and have harder covers, some so much so that they are virtually indestructible during normal play. (Think balls like the Top Flite and Dunlop DDH) But the problem with these harder balls is that while they travel much further, the spin rate is so poor it's practically impossible to impart any control on the ball for the shorter more delicate shots around the putting green. ~ ~ But this problem has been solved in recent years with the development of outstanding balls like the "Titleist Pro V", which is now the number one ball of choice of the vast majority of professional golfers and top amateurs. The Titleist Pro... Read review
