Elite Joule Ultegra STI

Advantages: Look cool, roll really smooth
Disadvantages: stock frames and soul plates are a bit slow

...I love these skates. They skate really similar to all the old Salomons except, they are much more comfortable and look much cooler. They wheels and bearings are really smooth and the frames and soul plates can now be exchanged for other companies products (UFS frames, Mecanizm Wings, etc.). The STI's still have the heel shock absorber,but now they also feature a full length shock absorber on top of this. They still have the custom fit liners which can be moulded to the shape of your foot for a perfect fit. Basically I love these skates and if you even liked the old Salomon skates you’ll love these too. They are just like the old ones but improved in so many ways. Buy them now.... Read review

Advantages: Good Grip at the strart
Disadvantages: They wear away quite fast

...The Nike Kraken Elite Pro gloves are ok even though they were a good pair of gloves. The only problem with them is that the foam on the fingers tended to wear away quite fast than and that sometimes you could see your hands. They are good for training but i wouldnt always rely on them. You can feel the ball very well with these gloves but once the foam has gone they are useless.They have got holes in the side of them like most gloves do but these might as well as been a picture or not there at all. They aren't very good value for money as they are noramlly about 40 pounds but you could get a better pair of gloves for the money.I would'nt say you should buy these and to keep looking....

Advantages: Great price & fair all rounder
Disadvantages: Tyres are poor in mud!

...I have owned a Tyax Elite for about a year, the bike is a great road bike and entry on level off roader. This MTB would be perfect for the summer rider that uses mainly pre-set routes which are mainly hard packed. The Acera gears are made by Shimano, although not high spec do shift up and down cleanly and are reliable if lubricated. The frame is stiff and gives the ride a good feel but is heavy! The rest of the bike is tuned quite well and handles almost everything you might throw at it, the only real weak point might be the front forks which have jammed after repetitive compressions, any one thinking of buying one should do so with confidence, but after a while of riding you might want to up grade the forks as the last think you want is a front shock that doesn't absorb bumps. On a final note the bike comes with Kendo tyres which... Read review
