Wellgo MG-1 Flat Pedal
The Good
Very light, very grippy, good bearings, good pins.
The Bad
Magnesium gets damaged easily.
Overall Review
These pedals are ideal for XC, trail and light AM, and I would use them for road commuting and street too. However for AM/FR/DH especially in rocky terrain they can get damaged easily as magnesium is very soft

Giro Remedy Full Face Helmet
The Good
Great protection, light weight, inexpensive. Washable interior, last for ages.
The Bad
Too hot, unless you are specifically using it for FR/DH or very aggressive AM. Cycling uphill in this helmet in warm temperatures will roast your head, but that's true of all helmets like this. Paint chips off, but I like the rugged look anyhow!
Overall Review
Great helmet, worth the money, just use it for its purpose.

Crankbrothers 5050 X Flat Pedal
5050's ? Meeeeh.
The Good
Look nice, cool color shifting options, grip (becoming VERY grippy when you add more pins), large platform, not too thick.
The Bad
F***in bearings. One month using these and you can forget the rigidity of the axle, unless you have the courage to rebuild them.
Overall Review
Look good but work badly. These pedals are a real deception. You'd better buy a pair of 5050 XX instead of this model (bearings look stronger), but here is the other problem : at this price, you can get a pair of Taiwanese-catalog flats with a Titanium axle. Hopefully, the new 5050 will be better.

Snafu Towatay Stem
Best stem out.
The Good
Rounded back for knee pleasure, deep sensibly sized hardware. Drop/rise. Low stack height. Looks fantastic. Very good weight (188g). DOES NOT SLIP.
The Bad
Faceplate looks a little goofy. Two tiny cracks have formed in the faceplate after a year of pro-level abuse and hucking to flat.
Overall Review
Fantastic stem. It is an injustice that people recommend Straitline stems and not this overlooked beauty. Honestly the best stem out, as far as I'm concerned. My Straitline SSC just sits in my basement now.

Urge Endur-O-Matic Open Face Helmet
Awesome lid!
The Good
Very light weight for amount of protection and quality of build. Good ventilation. Unique look. I was very impressed with the sweat absorber on the forehead. It really makes a difference! Plus a sticker kit and bag comes included!
The Bad
Nothing!!!!!!
Overall Review
Surely one of the best performing enduro lids on the market.

DEITY Decoy LT Flat Pedal
The Good
VERYYYY light, very low profile (so you snag on less rocks) and very grippy, oh yea did I mention they are freakin light!!
The Bad
Nothing so far, but I have only ridden them a few times
Overall Review
$100 isn't a bad price considering you are getting the lightest pair of pedals on the market, plus you can order them right off their website. When you buy deity, you get quality and piece of mind.

The Good
Shape (bend)
Looks
The Bad
Slightly uneven finish on the lime green ano I got, can see patches of lighter shades of green here and there (mostly around the logos)
Pricey
Overall Review
Great looking bar, great feeling bar, slightly disappointed to get a less than perfect finish (would have expected flawless quality control from the factory at this price point).

2012 Specialized Enduro Comp Bike
The Good
It can pedal like a goat, fairly light, stock specs aren't bad, and the price is right.
The Bad
Suspension is not as adjustable as past versions, is more AM than FR, but can easily hold its own.
Overall Review
This is a great bike and is only getting better with time. I have the 2010 version and it kicks ass out on the trails, easily the best pedaling bike I've ever owned and looks amazing. Very upgradeable and rips at speed.
