This carpet cleaning SteamVac did a pretty good job at cleaning our sunroom carpeting. We heated the water before filling it into the SteamVac to get good cleaning results. We used two passes to wet the carpet and two passes to pick up the water and soiled residue off the carpet. The vacuum did a good job of picking up a good portion of the water from the soiled carpet so the dry time was fairly quick. Overall, the SteamVac did a good job, however, the recovery tank did fill up fairly quickly so a 180 feet square room took about four refills to clean.

I’m just curious why there are many of you who believe God wrote the Holy Bible when it was clearly written by men such as Neale as well.
I believed the book to be extremely loving and has given a sense of peace within my life. God is loving and if he is loving I don’t believe he can be vengeful and wrathful as well. He or we created ourselves to experience life in all spectrum’s of life and although I also do not agree with some of the ideas, the premise makes logical and spiritual sense with me.

The Artemis Fowl series is one of my favorites. It’s written in a way children and adults can enjoy, with creative plot twists and interesting, amusing characters. The book has plenty of humorous bits along with tense moments that will have you neglecting anything else so you can finish reading.

Good quality build and it keeps accurate track of my steps. What more could you ask for.

Good starter bike with gears. We bought this as the first bike for my 7-yr old daughter. It was not packaged well — the paint was chipped and the rear tire had a flat. Putting Pacific Evolution Mountain Bike together was easy – every thing is pre-assembled except handle, pedals, seat and front tire. It took 30 mins to do including adjusting the breaks (I didn’t bother adjusting the gears as she will be using it as a single speed bike for the first couple of months while she learns). Fixing the flat meant a trip to the k-mart. I couldn’t easily find the dimensions of this bike in the description or else where — as a reference, I needed to set the seat to its lowest point for my 53″ daughter. She has been using this for the last 1 week and it seems to be holding up well so far to a few crashes – including running into a wall when she forgot to use the brakes. I am hopeful that it will hold up for another 2 years until she outgrows it.
It is what Pacific Grays Peak Mens Dual-Suspension Mountain Bike is….. A cheap bike. Let me just say I have taken this bike out on 15 rides the first was a fairly light bike trail and it did ok. The 10+ rides after the first, consisted of street riding and bike trail riding. It handled fair for that. Took it out to the local nature preserve and by the time I was through I wanted to through it into the gulley. This bike is not made to handle offroad. It’s definiteley not designed with street in mind either. So that brings me to the conclussion that this is a complete waste of time and money.
I did not buy this bike, I earned it through a program for selling insurance and bought it with my earned miles. I am no pro but I do know how to work on a bike. There is no reason to buy this bike. The suspension bottoms out on 70%-90% of the terrain you will find, even on fire roads. The brakes are no good. I adjusted them as I would any other bike and they worked for about 5 minutes before going back to exactly how they were before I adjusted. It was at the worst time too. Going down a steep hill hit the brakes full and took about 10-20 seconds before I slowed down to a speed where I could put my foot down. Next is the pedal, I have logged over 5,000 miles on previous bikes owned and the pedal broke off within 20 miles on this bike.
Being that this bike is equipped with a dual suspension you would think you can take it into some tough terrain. That is not the case. The only place I would ride this is on the street but then again that is not recommended because the brakes are very sketchy. It looks good but clearly this bike blows. I’m going to sell mine on craigslist for $20! Poor guy that buys it is going to save $80 just to pay hundreds in health insurance cost.
TO THE GUY THAT SAYS A FEW MINOR ADJUSTMENTS AND ITS GOOD: NO NO NO! You either work for Grays Peak or you have yet to take this on a hill. It falls apart, it breaks, it looks good, and the brakes do not work.
Beware of hidden costs!. The bike itself is great. The problem is that Pacific attempts to pre-assemble most of Pacific Tuscon Mens Dual-Suspension Mountain Bike and in doing so damaged the rear tire and didn’t do the installation correctly causing a serious safety hazard. It cost me $85 to have the bike re-assembled properly and to have the tire replaced. I called Pacific and they basically snubbed me saying they weren’t going to reimburse for any labor costs, which was most of it. I was furious. If I had known about the added cost up front I never would have mail ordered a bicycle and would have simply gone shopping locally. Buyer beware!
denali bike review. Shipped quickly with no damage. Easy to assemble. After extensive research this bike is the most bike you can get for the price.
Bought the large 63.5cm frame which works perfect for my 33 inch inseam. Rides great and shifts great. The only negative is that you will have to retape the handle bars after the first couple of rides.
Great bike. This bike was the only one that had everything I wanted (dual suspension, dual disk brakes, Shimano EZ shifters) and was under $350.00. I looked at other review, and people were comparing Mongoose Status 26-Inch Dual-Suspension Mountain Bike with $1000’s bikes… That’s not even close to fair.
Anyway, if you want a bike that has really good parts, a good setup, and cheap, this is your bike. So far, I put a few miles on it and it is really awesome. Suspension, brakes, tires, weight, everything is better than I expected based on the price. A good exercise: compare it with those $300-$350 bikes you see at Sports stores and you’ll realize how better this bike is.
Only one con: despite the easy assembly, the front derailer came totally out of alignment. I worked it a bit (I’m no expert), but I will probably spend some $ in servicing it.
2nd review (06/01/09): there’s a slight change from the bike you see in the picture and the one I received. The holes in the frame where is installed the bottle support face down. This is a problem, since once you have it with a bottle and the front suspension goes down a 1 inch the front tire hits the bottle. Not the end of the world, but I would change my review to 4 1/2 starts if possible.
