20 Best Carbon Fiber Barrel (2022 Updated)

Beautiful pen. I had one years ago, lost it and have been looking for another since. Love this pen. Slimmer than most of my other pens, but getting used to it, again.

have not used since I bought as gifts and wish to keep uninked. appear to be excellet and great value

These are a pair of pens. The ballpoint pen is a great writing pen with a nice weight to it. The fountain pen is well balanced with a smooth nib.

The Scheaffer INTENSITY Fluted Chrome Rollerball Pen ! Ladies and Gentlemen, if you are looking for an AMAZING pen, for QUALITY, LOOKS, AND A RUGGED LONG-LASTING WRITING INSTRUMENT you will carry, and show off when you write, then the SCHEAFFER INTENSITY with FLUTED CHROME, INDEED, is your pen !!!! No point in looking further.

HES.

An attractive Fountain Pen by Sheaffer. The medium steel nib writes well. Cartridge or converter for ink supply. I would recommend this range of Sheaffer pens.

Its always fun to write with a beautiful pen and REALLY nice to use a pen that flows so nicely. Shaffer pens are dependable all the time.

Everything arrived fine and promptly. The wallet itself with the forged fiber is very beautiful and unique and the enhanced cut-out for pushing cards, unlike the Ridge and similar styled wallets, is just smarter.

I also like that you can change and repair it yourself if the band ever wears out. No screws or tools needed. The magnets are very cool. I do have some issues with pushing cards both in and out efficiently.

It’s a little easier with Axwell’s cutout than other Ridge like wallets, but that has always been more or less an issue.

To be honest I put the new style away and started using the old version. Money clip on new just doesn’t hold much and slides out of place when you try to put cash in it. I do like the idea of being able to change out face plates but money clip needs to be changed.

Great customer service and great company though.

I used to carry around my checkbook in my back pocket. It was really bulky. Now, I carry my ID, credit cards and cash all in one item. And it fits comfortably in my front pocket. One of the best purchases I have made.

Thank you Axwell!.

The hat is very nice looking and made good. It is lighter than most hard hats. For me personally, I’m not a huge fan of the forehead pad being padded leather but most people would probably like it. All in all, I’m glad I purchased it.

Be sure to keep a close eye on it though if you take it off on a job site. Other people will like it more than you. Mine has almost come up missing a couple of times.

Thought this Dax lift hard hat was going to be the best hard hat available. For the amount of money these sell for I expected much more. My $20 hard hat is much more comfortable and better made. The shell is light and looks cool, but thats where it ends.

The snap in buttons are complete trash. Not comfortable. Literally these should be around $40 max. I feel ripped off is all I can say.

Really comfortable hard hat. Was a big fan until looking at it today it split on both sides right behind the brim without ever having taken any major hits. Other than falling off while leaning over its never taken a serious bump.

So to have this happen is kind of a let down.

The rutchey superlogic stem is compatible for trek Marine sl6

do you have this item in the 1-1/4 inch steerer version?

TranslateShow in original languageEine einzige Fehlkonstruktion. Erstens lässt sich nicht jeder Lenker einfach von vorne montieren, weil der Vorbaukörper mehr als 180° umschließt. Zweitens laufen die Schrauben der Frontplatte eben wegen dieser Konstruktion nicht parallel, so dass es zum Verkanten kommt.

Ich habe daher ein Gewinde nachschneiden müssen. Drittens sieht man von vorne die Gewindelöcher , weil von hinten geschraubt wird. Das sieht unschön aus. Da ich den bei dem Vorab wie bereits erwähnt leider ein Gewinde nachschneiden musste, kann ich von meinem Widerrufsrecht keine Gebrauch mehr machen (es wäre auch unfair bike components gegenüber, die wirklich ein hervorragender Händler sind), aber ich kann nur jeden davor warnen, mit diesem Produkt 229€ in die Mülltonne zu werfen.

Elegant and well-constructed pen; pleasure to work with.

Excellent purchase…good price value…lovely bright red color writing instrument!

Great quality, good geometry and nice fit and finish. I don’t any racing on my gravel bike. Just like to explore old roads and push myself on distance. The only reason I wouldn’t give these a 5/5 is because they aren’t really the most versatile bars.

The tops are super comfortable, the reach is nice and short, and the back of the drops are really nice as well as the bio-bend, but if you do any long, rough descending on your gravel rides, far up in the hoods in the braking position is really tight and uncomfortable.

For me, they are about right since I have very short bursts of death-grip gravel descents on my rides, but if I could change these to have a little deeper drop and a more rounded braking position I would.

If your jam is just cruising all day long, these are super comfortable!.

I am replacing the stock handlebar on my S-Works Roubaix 2018 with the Streem not because of its aero shape but because of the large surface on the tops and bends. I have had trouble with numbness. These provide a very comfortable platform while on the tops.

I was surprised and pleased that even while riding on the hoods there is more surface area that is definitely more comfortable. I am a masters rider and tend to do long rides with a lot of climbing and downhill braking.

I have the brake hoods set up so that I sit up a bit more the same as I did on my other bars yet the drops are also much more comfortable and are shaped well for me. While I have only done some shorter rides on the new bars, I am looking forward to getting in some long rides when I get some better weather days.

I have been suffering with neck pain when in the drops and descending for some time. A friend put the 44 Beacon on his gravel bike and told me about it. I did some online reviews took some measurements and ordered this.

I took off an Easton carbon gravel bar and honestly the weight is not noticeable. I have broad shoulders and this works really well for me. I was concerned about the width but it is fine and gives me a ton of grip surface.

I really like the angle it set the brake/shift levers and the hoods position is super comfy. The only negative is I had to install longer brake hoses and rear shift cables. This is on my Moots Routt 45.

Very expensive so it is hard to call it a good value. This hard hat is very comfortable and light weight. Suspension is fantastic. Looks great! I would buy again but certainly if you are simply looking for a functional hard hat that is cost effective for your employees.

There are many hard hats that fit the bill. This hat makes a statement though.

It has been a long time coming but I had to retire my old metal hard hat. I spend plenty of time in the woods logging and I have always liked my old Mac metal hard hat over plastics. This is the first hard hat I am ok with switching into.

I have tried several plastic hard hats but they have never made it to lunch break before I have thrown them back in the truck and gone back to my old metal old. So I debated for several months if I was going to try one since they are kind of spending to just turn out to be like all the other ones but I couldnt be happier.

The hat is light weight and it doesnt have a brim that sticks way out so its not constantly getting knocked off your head. I hope this hat lasts for a long time my old metal one is just over twenty years old and if this one makes it that long I will be really happy and by then I hope they have been able too reduce the cost of these hats.

I love my Lift hardhat. It’s a little lighter, excellent leather surrounding the headband , and metal clips inside suspension. It’s definitely the caddy of hardhats looks great. I get compliments daily.

Hard Hat looks great and lightweight. Only issue I have is with the suspension system. I have longer hair and it is always getting caught in the swivel part of the back ratchet system. Switched it out with an MSA suspension and all is great.

It’s made well in terms of materials used. However it claims it fits the 2015-2019 gti which includes the mk7. 5 gti. I have a 2018 mk7. 5 gti and I can assure you it does NOT fit the model. The hood fits fine but the bumper does not.

The last hooks on the bottom that attach to the wheel well do not even remotely reach to where they need to go. They tried to copy and past the mk7 bumper thinking ehh close enough however the mild changed with the bumper and fender shape on mk7.

5 cause this bra not to fit right. The fog light holes are also the complete opposite shape. If you’re looking at this for your mk7. 5 gti. Do not get it because it does not fit that generation like they claim.

I’ve had these products before for several cars. This time I ordered the gray fibre bra for the first time rather than the usual black vinyl. The first fitting did not go well. Then I baked it in the sun for about 2 hours (70F+ degree day), and it fit perfectly.

It’s on, it looks great and it’s tight. Love, the mat’l ’cause it’s the same color as the car; otherwise I’ll go back to the vinyl next time.

In August of 2013 I bought a new Scion TC. No bra was available for at least two years later. I had called every month for almost a year and finally gave up. I caught an add at the bottom of a page by Colgan for a 14-16 model year bra.

I begin searching that evening. Prices were pretty high but Auto Anything had a “Leap Year” sale and I made the purchase. Instructions were great. It was super tight but leaving in the sun worked great stretching.

Be patient!!! Really looks flush on the car.

I first head/saw this guitar on youtube on a review from JP Cormier. He was blown away by it and so was i. I watched the video a bunch of times with my headphones on and i was blown away everytime by the tone.

I already have a couple of rainsong guitars so i was thinking its another normal/ version of a composite guitar that i already have, since they arent wood guitars. It took me a while to order because i have so many great wood guitars, but i finally got the nerve to order one, and i dont like the size of a dreadnought guitar at all but this is very comfortable and basically an om size dreadnought which an om sized guitar is all i usually play, but when i first got it and put it together i was blown away right there immediately.

The string energy and overall tone and playability is every bit as good as any guitar i already have. Thinking it would wear off after playing it a bit since it was new and i was excited, but it didnt and hasnt.

I ordered it with the fishman and i could never get it to seat right as far as the strings all the same volume, so i sent it back and got the k&k installed and also got the side soundhole put in also.

The guitar sounds way better to me since the saddle sits on the guitars top in the bridge instead of on top of a pickup in the slot. And I would never get one without the soundhole on the side, not for hearing it better but for the overall tone, its actually more opened up with it, big time, you can tell simply by covering it up when playing and then opening it, big difference.

So in a nutshell this guitar still blows me away even after having it a few months, since it showed up i havent played the wood guitars hardly at all. If your on the fence about getting one, go for it you wont be disappointed! Very Very impressive.

And the kicker is no worries after you get it set up to your liking it stays that way.

There’s something different about the sound of this guitar. I wasn’t expecting it to sound as nice as a high quality guitar built from choice tone woods, and maybe it doesn’t. It’s really a matter of opinion I suppose, but at first I wasn’t impressed much by the tonal quality, but after playing it for several minutes it started growing on me.

It has a really unique rich sound that is different from a wood guitar, but really beautiful in its own right. I have several good to excellent quality wood guitars and they all sound different; they all have different personalities.

And they all grew on me, just like this one. Certainly if you opt for the onboard electronics package you could make this guitar sound at least as good as any other acoustic with a high quality pick-up and effects, but I wanted something to take camping, or to the beach, so nowhere to plug in there.

So enough about the guitar itself except to say that it has a great neck, is perfectly set up out of the box, easy to remove/reinstall the neck for traveling, has great action, sounds great, and is a blast to play.

Let me tell you about the service. It’s great also! The customer service at KLOS treated me like I was their single most important customer. And shipping speed; from placing the order to receiving my instrument with a custom engraving add-on (which adds more time) was about two weeks; much less than I was expecting considering the website claims that adding options (such as the engraving) can add between 1-2 weeks to delivery time.

So to sum up, great sounding, high quality, fun to play, great customer service all from a guitar that you can breakdown, pack in a travel bag and set back up again in under 20 minutes at a price comparable to any high quality instrument of this caliber that is not affected by temperature and humidity changes.

All this from a company that builds its instruments right here in the USA! I’m hooked!.

So, I just received this travel guitar 3 days after I decided to sell my Martin fill sized Dreadknot DCM and my Voyage-Air golf up guitar to finance the purchase of my new Klos travel guitar. I’m not an expert guitar player but when I busk, I get lots of compliments and my tip jar is full.

I’m a classic rocker with lot’s of Beatles, Dead and various other bands in that era, but ai digress. I’m fortunate enough to travel a lot so portability was my #1 reason to purchase this particular travel guitar.

I’ve been going to ****, Austria for the last 10 years to ski and found myself being invited onstage to perform apes ski and the Voyage-Air fold up guitar was my international travel instrument. However, the size of the backpack is still too big even though it folds up and is considered ‘travel’.

Frankly, it’s still too big and although it barely fits in an overhead bin, it’s still a grind to carry around. Yet, this guitar is fits into a backpack the size of a standard JanSport and is much smaller in a real airline travel guitar size.

As a side note, the size of the guitar package means everything to me but I don’t want a sucky sound like a Backpacker. This guitar is the Real Deal! I got the acoustic/electric so I can plug in anywhere and the sound after playing the **** out of it since I received it is nothing short of amazing and so much fun! Wait until you plug it in! Totally satisfied with the purchase, not of just the guitar quality but also the travel bad.

Packs so small but punched a big sound for fingerpickers and strummers alike. Bottom Line: If you want the smallest sized travel guitar yet has a full lengthen detachable neck, this is it. It will also become your #1 couch surfing guitar and you won’t put it down.

The most fun guitar you will ever use. 5 Stars!.

Purchased two barrel band kits several years ago. Each one has had a leg bend. Went to the deer lease today to find my feeder on the ground with the leg bent back 180 degrees. That one had a t-post driven in next to each leg and wired together.

There should be a solid stiffener inside the leg, or a heavier gauge steel used.

Transforming a 55 gallon drum into an auto or gravity feeder is made considerably stronger with the use of this product. It adds strength where it is needed most – supporting the overall weight of the feeder when full.

It is quite easy to install also.

Went together pretty easily for one person and it works really well for a 55 gallon drum

Light, good range of sizes (widths) and they provide a comfortable amount of flex with a very ergonomic flare angle which sits well with the natural position of your hands but there are a few negatives worthy of note.

They come in rather poor packaging, no protection offered by Easton at all, so you are reliant on the retailer for protection in transit – not ideal for carbon bars so check when you receive them that they are safe to use.

The plastic bag offered by Easton is quite poor at this price point. The other negative though, is that there is only one hole on the right hand side of the bars for the internal routing of the Di2 cable, no hole on the left.

Running Di2 internally is fine if you have a dumb lever (shifter) but if you want to use both shifters, left and right, how do you get the Di2 cable across to the left shifter? Easton suggested you run externally from right to left, really?!! crazy oversight in the assumption only the one shifter is used because its a gravel bar for a gravel bike.

Other than this, good set of bars with a school boy error leaving many would-be-purchasers of the bars scratching their heads – “do I drill the bars?”.

With the EASTON EA50 AX Handlebar, You will get better control on the Gravel & the road. with this Flared Drop bar it allows you a wider grip to lift & throw the front end around, Just like MTN biking & we all know how important having proper control is with rapidly changing Gravel & Road conditions.

Unlike a standard Drop bar if you hit a hard bump on the road & your had slips while on the hoods, It can slide wright past the drop out position of the bar. With the Flared drop position of EA50 AX bar set your had can slide wright into the cradle of the drop out every time Insuring better control & safety on rough terrain & bumps in the road.

Other benefits of this Wider Flared Adventure Series bar, are the ability to throw on a Large front bag & still have clearance for your hands. If your wanting to up grade that Grave bike or Road this is one of the best UP-GRADE’S you can make for your dollar & you wont be sorry.

I have just received my new EA70 AX 16D handlebar and the first feeling is rather a disappointment. The product features and the specification claims a Di2 compatibility and bar end junction compatibility in the right side, but there are no prepared hole at all.

Not on any of the sides. So I either have to return it to the retailer or have to make the holes by myself. The form and width looks to be perfect for me, but I still want to use my Di2 groupset, thus I need the compatibility.

I bought the exhaust for my race bike, together with a mid-pipe. The install was pretty easy, although the instructions are a bit confusing because a single set of steps covers all different types of installations.

The quality is amazing. Two things to note: 1) Its not really that loud. For my use (track) this isn’t an actual problem, but if your looking to melt your face off this isn’t the one (imho); 2) There is NO Carbon heat shield available for this.

If you want a heat-shield to avoid heat near your boots you need the street legal slip-on that includes it. I wrongly thought I could buy one as an accessory and you can not. However, I haven’t actually touched it with my boots as I fear I would during installation.

Right from the start, I have to say that I was impressed with even the packaging that this exhaust came in. The Styrofoam protection even had a relief of the Akrapovic logo on it, and if you’ve watched Revzilla’s video reviews of Akra exhausts, you’ve heard them say everything you need to install the thing comes in the box.

I can also vouch for that. Every piece of hardware was included along with a booklet that contained the entire installation process with step-by-step photos, which I really appreciated. Then there’s the slip-on, itself.

I looked over every millimeter of this thing before installing it and could not find a single blemish or factory defect. The quality is flawless. The fitment is so good that the exhaust might as well have been a factory piece.

I went with the full carbon fiber option, and words cannot adequately describe how clean it looks on the bike. The sound with the baffle removed is pure ear candy. It’s clean, smooth, and deep. I would recommend this to anyone that wants only the best for their motorcycle.

First owner of my current bike had a tip over in his garage that mangled the factory can. He replaced it with a God-awful $60 exhaust “tip” that announced my presence to any and everyone in a 20 mile radius.

Replaced it with the Carbon Akra can (and mid-pipe. don’t skimp, it’s a must) and couldn’t be happier. Sound is beautiful, INFINITELY quieter (left the tip in, but removal is easy) and picked up a LOT of power and a better band with the PCV and a dynotune.

Such a precise piece of kit, the install was super-easy. Not a huge fan of the spring-attachment, but this one was rock solid and latched up to the mid-pipe very snugly. (NO tool included– I recommend a spring puller tool, or the zip tie trick.

).

These bars are fantastic, although there are a couple of quirks. Firstly when I got out to test these bars I was extremely impressed at how much they handled the road vibrations, when riding on the hoods or tops they’ve massively improved my riding comfort, all whilst not compromising on the stiffness, these have held up great with sprints and hauling myself up climbs.

The first quick is the aero drops on these bars, they narrow into an oval-shaped instead of the traditional rounded drop sections. For aero bars I’m sure this will help with marginal gains, however, they definitely did take some getting used to.

With the thinner lightweight tape, I’ve got on them currently this difference was very noticeable, however, I have been able to get used to them, and have some a number of sustained efforts in the drops and I have been getting on with them fine.

The other quirk is only short-lived relatively speaking, they come with cable routing guides, however, these are for DI2, if using mechanical shifting, the routing of these bars can be a bit tricky, but it’s manageable.

Overall great bars, super light and stiff, my 42cm came in at 230g.

I have been give these to test, on arrival a few things suck out straight out the box. 1. How unbelievably light they are. 2. How narrow the tube is. I have had them fitted by my mechanic, his comment like other reviews on here was how hard it was to fit gear and break cable though the cable routing.

On the bike they look amazing, with only one issue that you can’t fit an out front Garmin mount to the bars. I have had the bars on for a week now and done a few indoor turbo session and a 75 mile long ride plus a few other smaller rides.

I have to say I love the bars!!!! When I first tried them I found the tube of the bars to small but now I am use to it I like it. I ride in Pembrokeshire Wales and the road surface isn’t great, how ever the bars seem to have the right amount of flex to dampen the lump and bumps of Pembrokeshire roads.

They are also stiff enough that when you want to put that sprint in on that Strava segment they respond great. I am in love with these bars and would highly recommend them on my first impressions. Only time will tell if I still love them down the line.

I would highly recommend these bars on my first impressions.

The PRO Vibe Aero Superlight handlebar came well packaged and protected. It took time to install as I wanted perfect cable routing. My current setup is Shimano 105, so I did not need di2 internal cable.

The installation was pretty easy, just required some time to get the cable routed and corrected angle to avoid cable rubbing. After adding the bar tape it was ready to rockNroll. I took it for a quite a long spin to start with (101.

5km) and it was a pleasant ride. The handlebar is very comfortable with a great hand feel. It looks very need with all the cables hidden. I definitely recommend this.

My husband loves his Crockett. He is very happy with the quality of it. The ring is beautiful and he’s gotten a lot of compliments on it. He says that it’s a light ring and he isn’t used to it but he’s very happy with it.

A drawback is the wood rings cannot be engraved but we are hoping to get a engraved metal ring by Manly Bands in the future.

Another typically excellent fountain pen from Monteverde. the Ritma Carbon Fiber with an omniflex nib. The nib is so smooth that it feels almost like an 18K nib but is also flexible. The overall ‘high tech’ design that features the carbon fiber barrel works very well.

The pen is balance either magnetically posted or not. The magnetic cap fits perfectly with a smooth and satisfying ‘click’ – the kind similar to that of the famed S. T. Dupont fountain pen. The gunmetal finish looks great with carbon fiber and hides fingerprints fairly well.

The pen weights 50g (1. 8 oz) and feel substantial in my relatively small hand. The overall ‘high tech’ presentation is a very modern, minimalistic rendition of an otherwise traditional writing instrument.

Material and fitment are exceptional, especially at this price point. The ease of uncapping the pen with one hand makes it a perfect daily on-person carry. I’m very glad to have added this one to my collection.

A pen like this inevitably reminds its owner the satisfaction of his/her ability to recognize outstanding value and performance, the discerning taste of understated beauty in simplicity, and the discipline in fiscal restraint.

That, to me, is the kind of ‘status symbol’ I’d be proud to display with each use!.

I have the red with black stub nib. The black nib looks fancy and I like it. The red is a bit more pinkish in some light than I had hoped, and this pen turns out to be a little heavy for me. (I was warned but wanted to try anyway in my quest to try many different stub nibs.

) The cap definitely makes the pen backheavy if you try to use it posted. I often don’t with my pens anyway, but wanted to mention because it seems unusually unbalanced when posted. The texture of the barrel is great (looks and feels like a nicer Pilot Metropolitan finish), but I don’t love the shiny parts on the cap/grip/end because they immediately get fingerprints and make me feel like I have greasy hands.

The stub nib is nice and I get good flow from the feed. It feels a little bit scratchier/sharper at the edges than some of the other stubs I have tried – sharper than the Goulet stubs, but less so than the Pilot Metropolitan stub.

I think this is a matter of preference – for me this one is good for crisper width variation but not as comfortable for writing for a long time at once. The magnetic cap makes this a cool pen to keep on my computer desk for capping and uncapping quickly for short notes, but I doubt this is going to become one of my favorite pens for writing cards or long letters.

The Monteverde Ritma is a really pretty, well-made pen. I like the look of it, I like the dark olive color, I like the black steel nib. It’s all very nice for the price, at least aesthetically. However, it’s functionality leaves a lot to be desired.

Pros: + Beautiful dark olive anodizing on the aluminium barrel + Parts fit together tightly, but not too tightly + Gunmetal finish on the section and cap looks good with the olive color + Nib is fairly smooth, with just the right bit of scratchiness (I own the EF model) + Nice heft to the pen Cons: – Somewhat uncomfortable grip section – Pen is extremely unbalanced when cap is posted – The feed is very inconsistent.

Sometimes it’s pouring ink like a faucet, causing ink to build up on the nib and page, and other times, it’s skipping and railroading. – Removing the cap sometimes causes ink to fling onto the page and into the cap, which is terribly annoying.

– Supplied converter is somewhat small TL;DR: The Monteverde Ritma is a great looking pen, but its function leaves a lot to be desired. If you want a wonderfully well built pen that looks beautiful, but don’t care so much about performance, by all means, get this pen.

Otherwise, you can do better for the price.

This ring is absolutely beautiful and exceeded my expectations! My partner absolutely loves it and it fits true to size if you get sized at a jeweller. You can tell a lot of love and care went into the ring.

Marc was incredibly responsive and kind throughout this process. 10/10 highly recommend this seller :).

Ordered this ring for my Husband and we were both blown away. It was a surprise for my hubby – he had no clue what I was getting for\nHis band other than it may have wood in it and he’s so in love with it, I am too! Mark was amazing through the whole ordering process and even after receiving it.

Any concern I had he was so helpful. When placing the order I wanted to ensure it would come before our wedding (Oct 12/2019) and we got it in perfect time by adding the priority shipping. Mark you are so talented and your hard work shows!! Thank you for everything!.

This ring is absolutely gorgeous. I ordered this for my wedding at the end of October. Due to the expedited shipping (that the seller suggested), I got it a month after I ordered it. The ring is so light weight it feels like I’m wearing nothing at all.

It’s such a cool and unique design, I’m excited to wear it for the rest of my life.

Been using this for years with good results.

Not the same quality as seachem matrix, a lot more dust and seems not to clean the water as good.
