Product review here at James Likes Bikes
That's right everyone. I think I might get in the mix and change up the format here every once in a while so I can thow out some useful information and probably ocasionally some useless information. I come across alot of bike related products that seem quite brilliant and a lot of them that are quite dumb if I say so myself. So occaisionally I might start doing a couple of impromtu product reviews.
I can assure everyone out there in the blogospere that no companies are paying for their productss to get a favorable review. You know what I mean, all those positive reviews in magazines for every imaginable product in every imaginable segment. You would think occiasionally those reviewers would come across something they don't like, but if your on trinkit gizmo's payroll you better give trinkit gizmo a good review......right?....er... well here we go.

Wipperman Chain Wear Indicator.
I have to start by saying this little guy just dropped out of the sky and into my lap here at James Likes Bikes a couple of days ago(well not the one above, but a cheap plastic version) . Really. Wipperman decided to manufacture a consumer version of their chain wear indicator that is made of plastic instead of steel like the one pictured. I guess they thought they would get in good graces with this product reviewer on James Likes Bikes by giving me a free one so I got a free one in the mail with the launch of the consumer version. Really their marketing department probably thinks they will sell more chains if more people know their chains are worn out. This little tool does just that it tells you when your chain has worn enough to cause measurable stretch. I honestly think this is a tool that everyone should own and use often enough to notice chain wear before cassettes and chainrings are worn.
I have been using park tool's chain wear indicator for awhile but now find I have more than one choice when reaching towards the tool box, so this reviewer names this product the best of the best when it comes to prodocts that capture your attention by dropping into your lap free. Get yours for $9.99 plastic - $19.99 steel - connexchain.com

You had sent me your first post, so hope its alright if I read the others. I just learned that the Clemson Bike shop is moving to a higher traffic volume building out on Highway 123. Sounds like it will be in one of those retail rentals between Golds Gym and the east end of town. Sounds like the owner, Mike Wienold, plans on staying there for a long time if he is investing in newer store space.
