Primal Wear
Primal Wear. I’ve been wearing Primal Wear biking stuff straight for five years now and they are just now wearing out. Great jerseys but expensive (regularly $70), but Primal has an online outlet, so if you don’t mind the fashions, you can get them for $50 and if you buy two, you get free shipping…

Campagnolo and FSA Compact
Groupsets – The official Campagnolo web site – Bicycle Parts and Components Cycling. _I really should just replace my bottom bracket with an integrated FSA system, but in lieu of that, there’s always the compact update from Campy. BTW, compact basically means you don’t need a triple, it is easier for old guys like us_…

Rechargeable Batteries
Thomas-Distributing – Rechargeable Battery Supply, Chargers for Rechargeable Batteries, Digital Camera Batteries, Lithium Batteries And Testers. _A bump on the topic, my two year old NiMh batteries are finally showing their age. Used to get 2 hours of life, now just an hour. Time for an upgrade. Things have moved quickly with this stuff. Two…

eBags Messenger
eBags Lightning Messenger – eBags. eBags has their knockoff messenger bag for $30 with free shipping, so tempting for all of us bargain hunters. I don’t think it is waterproof though like the high end Timbuk2 or Chrome bags.

Timbuk2
Timbuk2 — Messenger Bags. Since we are on the topic, I’ve used dozens of bags and none quite compares in comfort to a bike messenger bag. I use a small one from Nike just about every day. It is just so much more comfortable than carry to have it go over one shoulder. Timbuk2 even…

iPod Case Reviews
Playlist Cases. Another review of cases. I like their format at a glance. They give five stars to these cases (all have a belt clip important for Dad and me): * Contour Showcase. $40. Rubber and clear plastic. * Covertec iPod Case, $40. This has a leather cover so not that greaet for instant access…

Waterfield
“Waterfield”:http://sfbags.com are ex-bike messengers and make custom bags in San Francisco. Expensive, but checkout the Sleevecase which is a totally custom holder for a laptop. Perfect for my minute Sony TR-140 for which common laptop bags are just too big. !>http://www.sfbags.com/products/sleevecases/images/prod_sleevecase_detail_2.jpg! to see how well made they are. Rather have one good bag than a…

iPod Mini or tweener
Good review of the iPod Mini, as they say, with iPod Shuffles at $99 and $149, and the 20GB iPod at $299, the niche between them is pretty small. The 2G iPod Mini is the one to hold out for although the main diffference is “decent” battery life (double the nominal 8 hours). iPodlounge Review:…

Pacific Rim Cube
!>http://www.ipodlounge.com/assets/images/reviews_pacrim/cube/cube1.jpg! iPodlounge Review: Pacific Rim Cube Travel Speakers On the spectrum of iPod-specific speaker options we’ve previously identified, the Cube Travel Speakers generally fit into the ultra-portable category. They’re pocketable – on baggy pants, at least – with the option of using batteries or AC power from an optional power supply ($5.00) if you so…
