Advantages: Just like having your own personal trainer Disadvantages: A little tricky to work out to start with
...Polar RS100 Heart Rate Monitor
This is the second heart rate monitor that i have bought, the first one was years ago and on the rare occaision it did pick up your pulse it went completely wrong if you were near anything electrical or any other heart rate monitors. Bearing this in mind i was a liitle wary of getting another but i have currently started training to complete a half marathon and depending on how well it goes i may enter a full marathon so i thought it was high time i got myself kitted out.
I have to say, times have definately changed, this monitor just everything you could ever ask (except for the running)!
The Polar RS100 heart rate monitor has its own code to avoid unwanted interference meaning you can be in a room with ten other monitors and yours is the only pulse it picks up
It features an easy press lap...

Advantages: LightWeight, indestructible, good price Disadvantages: not the Cheapest of Cranks
...The Middle burn Rs7 Cranks have been around for years now because there is nothing better on the market.
4 Years ago I bought a set to go on my pashley trials bike. I had been ridding for 3 years, and needed something that could keep up I had bent a pair of cheap cranks then replaced them with some FSA cranks I then Proceeded to smash them against every thing until also bent.
Then they had to be grinded of my bike as they would not come off the bottom bracket. So I decided to invest in a set of Middle burn cranks I had seen at the bike show. At the time they set me back £180 with a bash ring and 22 Tooth chain ring. I put them on straight away unlike other cranks the bash ring is fixed to the crank via a large nut that attaches to the thread of the crank, this means there is no week point and the crank is almost one piece making...

Advantages: Bright, Lightweight, Good battery, Easy to fit and remove Disadvantages: Cost
...I own the 2007 (430 lumen) version of this light, and have done for the last 12 months. I use it for offroad mountain biking (both leisure and 12 / 24 hour solo races) and commuting. At the time, I paid £330 for it. You can possibly get it cheaper, now that the 2008 (830 lumens model) has superceeded it.
WHAT IT CONSISTS OF
Battery and tough fabric carry bag.
single headlight.
seperate switch.
Charger.
Helmet mount.
Battery extension cable.
....everything needed to run it basically.
WHAT IT IS AND DOES
4 LED single headlight that has an adjustable light output (user choice). It has a run time from approx 3 1/2 hours to approx 30 hours (depending on what light setting you have). It has a single beam pattern which either off road or on road has not caused me any problems - it lights up everything it needs to...

This is a good quality product that offers good value for money in the very short term. Although as with most electronic products, the value will deteriorate over time and should be able to get a cheaper version next year. It's a great little device with more
