Stellar sound...Stellar look... Awkwardly placed search buttons

This is an amazing sounding head unit that looks beautiful in detail. Quality is obvious, even out of the box. Installation is easy and standard. My only complaint is that the "Forward" and "Back" buttons (to find songs, etc.) are both all the way on the right side of the unit. This is more awkward than it may seem, as you will have to extend past the other knobs and use your eyes to find the knob. Im accustomed to the LEFT button being on the left, not having them put together. On the good side, I use the wireless remote now, where I've never used them before. Perhaps they are trying to encourage the use of the connected devices' controls, and not the head unit. Although I can always pick up my Bluetooth device and find a track, i like the option of skipping forward or back with a button that I don't have to look for every time. Great overall unit with a very nice look. Study the manual. You will need it the first couple of times.

The only thing that works in 99% of small punctures

Compared to the green stuff, this cream works MUCH BETTER. I have experimened with a few things to prevent sharp punctures. I ride in dry and mountainous terrain, where there are very sharp objects everywhere... (goat heads, cactus, etc,). I started with tire liners, which proved absolutely useless. I tried green stuff a couple of times, and it may help to keep air in if you are lucky. If your tired are constantly getting shredded by thorns, glass, and the likes, this stuff wins hands down. I commonly come home with 10-15 goat head thorns jammed in my tire. When you pull them out, this stuff seals noticeably quicker. It is so effective, I was amused by the number of thorn pieces that were lodged in my old tire wall when I finally changed the tires... It works that well, and is a HUGE relief out here in colorado where the riding conditions are unforgiving. Do not get this on your clothes. It is extremely messy if spilled, so keep the seal tight on the bottle. I've also learned to remember to SHAKE the bottle before using, as it can settle, just like the others. Highly recommended. Pays for itself over a short time if you are accustomed to flats.

One of the best concerts ever held......With a lot of extra Dark Side...

This concert is simply amazingly filmed and moving. surprising and exhilarating....emotional and over the top in a great way. The icing on the cake is Dark Side of the Moon played live in total album-like continuity, followed by an absolutely explosive ending. the reviews are generally the same. this is one of the best few bucks you will ever spend if you remotely like Pink Floyd..or Live concerts. The detail put into the filming of this last live show is absolutely mind boggling. This would be one of my "desert island" picks. Incredible replay value and visuals!
