Schwinn Aluminum Frame Pump

Schwinn Aluminum Frame Pump Review



Schwinn Aluminum Frame Pump Feature

  • Lightweight aluminum alloy frame pump
  • Comes with frame mounting bracket and Velcro strap
  • Dual nozzle accommodates Presta and Schrader valves
  • Ergonomic "T" handle makes inflating easy
  • Capacity: 100-psi
Lightweight, efficient, and affordable, the Schwinn Aluminum Frame pump keeps you inflated on the road and at home. With a 100-psi capacity, the pump is perfect for inflating bicycle tires, stroller tires, and any other small pneumatic wheels you may use. Thanks to its dual nozzle design, the pump accommodates Presta and Schrader valves easily. The streamlined pump can be attached to a bike tube with the included mounting bracket--or can be attached to most frames with the included Velcro strap. Finally, when you're ready to inflate, the ergonomic "T" handle folds down for a secure grip with plenty of leverage for easy pumping.

Featuring the Schwinn brand Americans have trusted for over one hundred years this pump is small enough to go with you anywhere. Bicycle tires and tubes require a fixed pressure per square inch (PSI) to function safely and at best performance. Home bicycle pumps allow riders to maintain this conveniently without costly or lengthy trips to the nearest service station. When mounted on a bicycle or stored in a glove compartment fear of being stranded due to low pressure becomes a thing of the past. PTI Sports products are designed with safety as the first and foremost concern and are constructed of high quality parts and materials to prevent degradation over time. Thoroughly tested, our products last through years of use before they are recommended for replacement, ensuring safe cycling for years to come.

What is a Recoil? The dictionary defines recoil as "to spring or come back; react." The Diamondback Recoil takes that definition to heart. Whether it is flying down the wide open trail or making its way through twisty single track, the Recoil will react to what is under its tires and then spring back and be ready to take on what comes next. With an aluminum 4" travel frame, Tuff Shock Coil rear shock, SR Suntour XCT 75mm fork and 24 gears to choose from this bike will not cower in fear. Instead it will spring into action and give you a great ride.

Shimano PD-M520L MTB Sport Pedals with Cleats

Shimano PD-M520L MTB Sport Pedals with Cleats Review



Shimano PD-M520L MTB Sport Pedals with Cleats Feature

  • Shimano PD-M520L MTB Sport Pedals w/ Cleats.
Part of Shimano's line of lightweight XC bicycle pedals, this pair of sport pedals with cleats is suitable for either road biking or mountain biking. Distinctive features including an open binding mechanism that's better designed to shed mud, along with a low-maintenance, sealed-bearing cartridge axle.

Manufacturer's Warranty
Shimano warrants to the original retail purchaser that this product is free from non-conformities in material and workmanship for a period of two years and their Dura-Ace and XTR components are covered for a period of three years from the date of original retail purchase. Shimano footwear, soft goods and wheels are warranted for a period of one year.

About Shimano
In 1961, a 3-speed bicycle hub displayed at the New York Toy Show was the catalyst for what would eventually become Shimano American Corporation. The popularity of 20-inch wheeled bikes with hi-rise handle bars fueled a demand for multi-speed hubs and Shimano was producing an affordable and reliable version that caught the attention of the industry. So much so, that by 1965, Yoshizo Shimano, the youngest son of the company founder in Japan, opened an office in New York to get quicker product feedback and to provide technical and warranty assistance to retailers selling bikes equipped with Shimano parts.

Though Shimano American has grown from that first modest office staffed by only three people to a full distribution center with sales and marketing offices, the goals are the same: to ensure that Shimano always has a listening ear to provide feedback on relevant trends and needs of the North American market for both bicycle and fishing products and make those a reality for customers.

Whether you're looking to get started riding clipless pedals for the first time or you're a seasoned veteran looking to save money on a new build, the Shimano PD-M520 is a great choice. Featuring a durable steel axle, sealed bearings and an open, mud-shedding design, the PD-M520 does the job of a high end pedal at an entry level price. Includes one pair of two-bolt SPD cleats.
