Sugoi Mens Tri Shorty

Advantages: Excellent lever feel, stopping power, durability
Disadvantages: when they squeel, they REALLY squeel

...I've been mountain biking for many years now and over time I've tried a wide array of braking systems on my various bikes. I was always a huge fan of Avid's braking products and had test ridden a number of bikes with their Juicy discs on before deciding on the right bike for me and taking the plunge into speccing my own custom build. The bike was to be a Yeti 575 and the brake choice came down to the Hope Mono minis (as fitted to my Orange), Avid Juicys and the Shimano XT. I chose Shimano for various reasons and the following review will hopefully outline why I took this course of action over the much hyped Hope and Avids.

Advantages: Friendly staff, impressive gym.
Disadvantages: None

...Ive been to all the Fitness Firsts in Manchester but when I entered Moston my first impression was that I really liked the layout of this gym. The staff are friendly and very approachable and theres always somebody on hand to help. The classes are also very good, I particular enjoy the spinning class. It is also quite a big gym so even at busy times there is always a machine to use. There is a big free weights area which as usual is full of men all trying to beef up and lift more than their mates, but there is plenty of room and weights for everybody to share. There is also a decent steam and sauna which men and women seem to use in tandem. I would recommend this gym to everyone.... Read review

Advantages: Reliable
Disadvantages: Barrel

...On the one hand if you are Sunday paintball player it is quite nice gun for playing in woods or even one field, it is very reliable, mostly it wont chop paintballs, if you wont fire too fast. Another advantage for this gun is chance to improve it or customize it, you can add a lot of parts to make this gun just best for you. For the first time i tried Tippmann 98 in playing Rookie league in Latvia, it was quiet OK as i was playing Front men, but for back men it was death. it was very har to hit tha target. With all thease advantages it is bets gun for rental, because it will work great with newbies, but to own this gun probably you should buy another barrel. Weight of gun is OK ang hoding is OK too, if its not same to you you will be able to customize it as you want. You must know it will be harder to clean Tippmann 98 than the any... Read review
