Customer Review: Razor Child V-17 Helmet
Customer support at http://www.kentbicycles.com was very helpful in sorting through which model of V-17 helmet is for children 5+ (small shell) and which is for children 8+ (medium shell). The children 5+ small one is the one reviewed here and was only available online at the time of this purchase. The model number is 97780. If you want the small one be sure it has this model number as opposed to 97778 which is the bigger one for 8+ years old.

Customer Review: Nice
My son had a gloss black helmet and it was pretty banged up, so I got this one when he ordered the RipStik. I like the flat finish.
Customer Review: Too Small for 8 year old
I bought this helmet to match the Razor scooter I bought at the same time. To my dismay, this v-17 youth helmet was too small for my 8 year old. Try to tell an 8 year old they can’t wear the helmet that matches both his friends and his scooter. Razor needs to rethink the sizing and make a helmet that will fit up to teen. No more jokes about my kids big head=+)

Finding the Right Bike
To really enjoy cycling, it’s important to find a bicycle that works for you. Here are some things to keep in mind when you’re in the market for a new bike:

The Right Ride
In general, bikes are broken down into three major categories:

• Road and Racing Bikes–As a general rule, road and racing are built for speed and longer distances on paved surfaces. Thinner tires, lightweight 29-inch (700c) wheels and drop bars that allow for a more aerodynamic position are the norm. Most road bikes, regardless of price, offer many gears for tackling both hilly and flat terrain.
• Mountain Bikes–With their larger tires, hill-friendly gearing and upright position, mountain bikes are very popular for all types of riding, both on pavement and off. Mountain bikes that are designed specifically for rugged trail use typically feature a suspension fork. Some may have rear suspension, as well. A quick change of the tires on any mountain bike–even one that you use regularly on trails–adds to its versatility and makes it a worthy street machine.
• Comfort/Cruiser Bikes–For tooling around on bike paths, light trails, or for cruising a quiet beach-side lane, comfort/cruiser bikes are the ticket. With a super-relaxed riding position, padded seats, and limited or no gearing, these bikes are made for enjoying the scenery and having fun with the family.

The Right Price
A bike’s price boils down to three essentials: frame materials, bike weight, and component quality and durability.

• Entry-level–You’ll find a wide range of comfort and cruiser bikes in this category, as well as some lower-end mountain bikes and road bikes. Most will have steel frames and components that are designed to last for several years with frequent use.
• Mid-range–Bikes in this range may feature a lighter aluminum frame with mid-range components that keep performing after miles of use. If you’re looking for a quality bike that is relatively lightweight and will stand up to abuse, this is the “sweet spot.” Most serious commuter and touring bikes fall into this category, as do mid-range mountain bikes with a decent front suspension.
• High-end–Racers and serious enthusiasts who expect lightweight, high-performance components will want to stick to this category. For road bikes, exotic frame materials (carbon fiber, titanium) and ultra-lightweight components can add thousands to the price tag. Mountain bikes in this class often feature advanced front and rear suspension technology, as well as components designed to handle lots of rugged trail action.

The Right Size
Fit is crucial for comfort, control, and proper power and endurance on a bike. Here are some basic bike fit tips:

• Stand-over Height–To find out if a bike’s overall height fits your body, measure your inseam. Next, determine how much clearance you’ll need between your crotch and the top tube of the bike. For a mountain bike, you’ll want three to five inches of clearance. A road bike should offer between one and two inches of clearance, while a commuter bike should have two to four inches. Compare the stand-over height for a given bike to your measurements (inseam + clearance) to determine the right bike height.
• Top Tube Length–You can measure your torso to get a good estimate of proper top tube length. First, make a fist and extend your arm. Measure from the center of your fist to the end of your collarbone (the part that intersects your shoulder). Next, measure your torso by placing a book against your crotch with the spine facing up. Measure from the spine to the bottom of your throat (the spot between your collarbones). Finally, add the two measurements (arm length + torso length), divide the number in half and subtract six inches. This is your approximate top tube length. Compare this number to a bike’s posted top tube length. You can allow for about two inches longer or shorter, as most bikes can be adjusted via stem length/height and saddle fore/aft position to make fine adjustments to the fit.
• Bikes for Women–Proportionally, women tend to have a shorter torso and longer legs than men. Bike makers design women’s bikes that offer a shorter top tube and many comfort/cruiser bikes built for women may also provide more stand-over clearance.

The Right Accessories
When you make a bike purchase, don’t forget these crucial add-ons:

• Helmet (this is a must!)
• Seat pack
• Lock
• Hydration pack, or water bottles and bottle cages
• Spare tubes
• Portable bike pump
• Gloves

Customer Review: Looks comfy and fast… error in product description, tho
Please note that the product description is incorrect: it is for a Cadillac mountain bike with disc brakes. This bike has regular caliper brakes, although the more expensive Cadillac comfort bike Amazon offers does have the disc brakes. Looks like a nice high-quality aluminum-frame comfort bike that most people would like and which is a lot faster than a cruiser bike.
Customer Review: A little more info please!!!!
First of all, this is a great bike! And I would give it 5 stars except for these things…..1) The box comes with large letters on the side that say, “Must be put together by a certified bike putter-together! (my paraphrase)” 2) Putting it together takes metric tools and the manual is not really a lot of help–and you can try to reach someone at Cadillac for questions, but they don’t answer their phones very well. We ended up doing a google search and found a nice man who is a Cadillac bike dealer in a small town in Oklahoma who answered his phone and helped us, even tho we didn’t by the bike from him (and he says he gets calls every week from people just like us who have bought a bike and can’t get someone to answer the phone at Cadillac to answer questions, so he helps them.) 3) The warranty was one of the reasons that we bought these bikes–and putting it together ourselves voids the warranty–something we found out AFTER buying the bike! 4) The information on the Amazon site about this bike was actually about a different Cadillac bike model so it didn’t have all the features we thought we were buying.

Customer Review: Razor V-17 Youth Multi-Sport Helmet (Black Gloss)
I just bought this helmet, and I couldn’t believe how comfortable it was. It make s me feel safe when I wear it, and it’s not itchy or anything. I strongly suggest you buy A razor V-17 Youth helmet, if you choose to buy a helmet.
Customer Review: Nice helmet, too small for my 10 year old
It looks like a very nice helmet and inexpensive too, but it is too small for my 10 year old. Maybe he just has a big head, I don’t know, but he prefers my Bell helmet and didn’t want to wear this one, he thought it was very tight and uncomfortable.
