Cool Rider Beverage Holder

so far so good
In 1 season of moderate use holding even very big large sized McDonalds soda the quality is holding up. The best cupholder on the market for the price without question. I liked it so much I bought another one for around 20 bucks to install one on each side of my handlebars for a passenger as well. Only thing I worry about is the plastic breaking after a few years of use since plastic and sun don't mix over time and can crack and become brittle. I don't know why others are complaining about not fitting water bottles, etc. rattling around since both of mine came with foam cup cozzy liners (soft foam) to fit a lot of bottles snug and secure with no rattles. Only time will tell if it last 5 years or more but as of now, works great. Plus, I will keep my receipt since Barefoot willies guarantees this for a lifetime so if it ever breaks all I have to do is call the company and have them send me another one for free. I think the 2 weak points over time may be the bolts going thru the plastic on the handlebars and the metal bolt holding the cup on that is adjustable may break the plastic if tightened on too hard but I have cranked pretty darn hard to secure both on handlebars and the cup slider bolt itself and so far, it is solid doesn't move and has not broke. For plastic, it is decent quality plastic and definitely not junk plastic that will break right off the bat. I bought a liquid caddy brand and modified the swinging back and forth and that broke off my handlebars almost instantly cranking it down tight and that was about 15 bucks so 20 for this is a lot better quality. |
Deluxe Luggage Rack Bag w/Rain Cover

great bag bug fades
If you leave it on your bike rack even 1 summer long and say take 1-2 trips to work every week for 4-5 months or so, the entire top and sides of the bag will fade A TON to a light black not dark black. Otherwise, it is a great bag holds lots of stuff, well made, overhangs the rack by only about 1" in back (no biggie), and the velcro sticks super good will never fly off down the road. The only other drawback besides fading terribly is the front mesh pockets should be redesigned easily in order to fit wider stuff in them besides say a stick of gum or a piece of paper. How about making them larger to fit 2 water bottles - that would be awesome if they expanded those mesh front pockets to be more useful. Fading in 1 season of riding terribly and almost useless front mesh pockets, otherwise it would be a 5 star product. |
