I am going to begin a new chapter in MountainbikingX.com: product reviews. I’m going to review everything from headsets to tools to new bikes. I am mainly going to do reviews on products that I have purchased, and am using. I may throw in a few guest reviews or reviews on demo items I get my paws on. Now you may ask what gives me the knowledge to do a review, well hell I don’t really need any. It’s my website on the World Wide Web. I can do with it what I want. But ask any of my riding buddies and they will tell I have a tendency to buy and sell numerous items, use them, and if I like them I keep them if I don’t so on down the line. Through that process I have definitely found out what is good and what is junk.

Some of my reviews will be rather lengthy and probably updated as I am using the item, and some will be short and too the point. I am going to try and stay consistent with my system I use. I am not going to use a ranking system since for the most part they are in my opinion useless everyone’s abilities, knowledge, and general grading of items is different. Plus if I really hate the item and rank it low it doesn’t necessarily mean it is a bad item, it may just not be for me. What I am going to do is give you a general idea of what the item is, how it works, and what I think. I will do that by using a three part system. Part one will be the description, what the item is, and what it is use for and what makes it tick. Part two will be the actually performance of the product, how well does it work, does it do what it is supposed to. And part three with be my final thoughts, should you buy, is it worth the money, or is there something better out there. I will also give a quick break down of certain things at the beginning of the post, such as price, year, and some other tidbits of info.

This is a work in progress and if I may be tweaking things as I go along so bear with me, also if there is things you would like to see add to the reviews let me know.

Some of the first items up to be reviewed are a 2008 Fox Float RP23 Rear shock, a 2007 Rock Shox Revelation 426 Dual Air Fork, and a set of Nokon Shifter Cables.
