Haro 2000 TR 2.1

Advantages: Good design
Disadvantages: Stickey Valves

...I have been trying out the Tusa TR 400 Imperex for two weeks now. I have found it to be very good regulator. The valves seem to be of good quality. At first it worked perfectly and I thought I would never use another regulator. However on my fith dive with the Tusa TR 400 Imperex. As I reached the 40 meter mark the regulator got stuck in the open possition and was squerting out air. When I reached the surface and took the regulator to a reputable dive centre they informed me that the problem was that Tusa had fitted a faulty valve. He fixed the problem and the regulator has been fine since then. I don't think it's a common problem so I wouldn't worry about it.

Advantages: Great fun and easy to sail
Disadvantages: Initial concerns about laser build quality

...Following a bit of research around other sailing centres I decided to try the Laser 2000 - I was looking for a boat to suit beginners and more experienced sailors, young people and adults alike. The "demo" boat proved to be well balanced and great fun to sail, the quality of fittings was good and the systems were simple and worked well. The boat is a good tool for introducing beginners to the latest generation of boats and provides a stable platform to introduce asymetric kites, with no trapeze and a clear cockpit layout it looks set to replace the old wayfarers in our fleet. For both centre and private use I would recommend the following modifications:- 1. Replace the rope rudder foil downhaul with a fail safe element - shock cord etc - the foil is quite deep and liable to damage on grounding. 2. Part of the same problem - the rudder... Read review

Advantages: multiple sizes
Disadvantages: none

...The Continental 2000 tire has drastically made an improvement in my cycling. I have just recently "re-became" a born again cycling enthusiast. I bought my 2002 Raliegh 400R road bike while I was suffering from achillies tendonitis just because my old bike was just that old and getting harder to pedal in its years. I rode the new bike on its stock tires for about 2 years when I finally gave in and bought the Continental 2000 series tire. OHHHH it made a visible difference in my cycling. As soon as I put the tires on myself I took the bike out for its first test ride on the new tires. I was not sure what to expect since I had been riding on 700x25 (tire size and width in MM) tires and this was now 700x23. With in the first 10 miles of the bike ride I had noticed that my average speed had increased by about 1.5 miles per hour... Read review
