The Classic

Rating:

The Good: Great price, good looking shape, comfy fit, super durable.

The Bad: Could vent a little better.

Overall: It's called "The Classic" for a reason. It's been around for ages and set the stage for nearly every other half shell/dj lid on the market.

The ones you want

Rating:

The Good: They don't slip. Padding is in the right places. Comfortable. Do the job and they do it well.

The Bad: A little too thick for under jeans. Material behind the knee sometimes bunches on trail rides.

Overall: There's a reason why several other pad companies created close variations of the Straits. Would be a 5-star rating if they didn't bunch up when seated.

Average at best...

Rating:

The Good: Aside from the bearings, they certainly seem to be pretty durable. The colored plates let you pimp your ride, too.

The Bad: Poor grip compared to many other flat pedals. Bearings were shot after a single season of abuse. Thick profile.

Overall: For a flat pedal, they are average at best. Nothing spectacular and nothing drastically wrong with them. Without fivetens, though, you might be wishing for more traction...

Big improvements over the old Micro Knobbies

Rating:

The Good: The MK2 is the updated version of the Micro Knobby. The biggest change is the center strip of tread (see the pic? ^^^). The knobs in the center are now inverted - this fixes the durability issue the old ones had.

The Bad: Have yet to find a drawback when using the tire for what it was made for (dirt jump/park).

Overall: Light weight. Super fast rolling. Make a rad sound when cornering. Improved durability. Two thumbs up!

Well done SuperCo

Rating:

The Good: The geometry is dialed - it spins, flips, and boosts so easily. It's simple, solid, and quiet, and for a dirt/skatepark/street machine, I couldn't ask for more. Also, the fact that it is handmade really stands out; a quick glance at the welds is enough to see that Doc put his heart into it!

The Bad: Needs one more cable tie on the top tube. No biggie really.

Overall: SuperCo NAILED it with this gorgeous bike. The Charger is hands down the nicest ride I have ever owned. This is a bike I'll be on for many years to come.
