Product Tests
Here you can get the riders views of products not what that crappy magazine bmxplus says. I will admit some of those tests have pointed me in directions of products but I don't realy think a 2 day test will do alot to a bike or parts. Sure I beleive a pair of Araya super 7x rims will stay nice and true for a 2 day test. B ut what about a pair that gets abused at the trails, track, or streetriding everyday ive never read a product test like that. For my first product I decided to Rate my Powerlight 4 peice bars so here it goes.

Powerlight 4 Piece bars
Well were should I begin I guess it started when George bought a pair of the 7/8 bars and I rode his bike with them I liked them alot but then this christmas Garret's mother bought him a pair well he got'em and they turned out to turn into 1 inch. Well when I saw these bars I got a big hardon These were the nicest bars ive ever seen. They have a nice short rise just like the 7/8 version and you can cut'em down nice and small with out haveing to bend your lever but I like maximum Shortness so I moved my lever all the way down, bent it, cut my grips to fit my hands, and cut like 3" of each side. To me they feel great. I throw my S&M Holmes around alot and the bars get the most abuse. They have a nice thick clamping area which means no crimped bars. And since they turn to 1 inch there even stronger. These things have been slamed into trees, hit rocks, and just hammered on for close to a year so far and they hold up fine. So I give these bars a 5 because they are nice height and width, good craftsmanship, and VERY STRONG. So if you don't think I ride hard on my shit Maybe you'll see me at the trails or Hackettstown skatepark I have an S&M Holmes and a mowhawk. I don't know of many that match that description. -Mike

For X-mas I bought
a Schwinn XS pro stock one witch I like, it works fine but
one thing
the seat post sucks!!!! From day one I hated it!!! It shifts and
latley I can't
ride my Schwinn because when I was working on supermans my foot
got stuck
betweem the frame and seat so when I fell my foot was still stuck
after I got
up I look at my bike and the seat was f---ed up bad!!!! I
couldn't jump after
becase the seat fell right off the sh--y seat post!!! I hope one
day Schwinn

bike gets a
4, and the seat post can't get rated
because it sucks to much but if I had to
it whould get a 1-----~Mike~A.K.A.

X-Tra long steel axles
Steel axles you took off a 10 speed that you found in a junker-bike pile in a stoner's basement are NOT good for grinding or jumping. However, they make very nice car-scratchers or brother beaters. rating -5 . -NAD
odyssey pro and AA pro seats
They both suck major butt crack. I had one of each and both said Kevlar backing, but ripped with one hit to the ground. Also the rails bend to easy. My AA pro was suppossed to have bigger rails and it did but they still bent in about a month and I only weigh 115 so these 2 seats suck. I give them a 1. -Brad Morrow
Haro Fusion Mega Tube Grooved Axle Pegs
I've had these pegs for about 3 months now, and they still kick butt. When I occaisionaly try some flatland, My feet don't slip unless ithe ground is wet.When I grind Concrete they hold up, and don't wear down easily they are kinda heavy, but for any dependable steel peg, you have to deal with weight.these pegs are great, and they were about 20 bucks. i give these a 5. . -Matt Flannery
S&M Prince Albert Cranks
i decided to get these cranks because i know the quality s&m produces. now i heard that these cranks break easy, but on any given day they stay stiff and solid at the trails and sk8 park. the only problem i have with the prince alberts is that the bolt that holds them on will not stay tight. other than that i have no complaints, except that they are no longer being sold. i will give them a nice 4. thanks.. -some dude with some prince alberts
