Don't get a cheapo one, they rock and sometimes the belts aren't long enough for a decent stride.  There is a store that sells used fitness equipment, I think it's called Play it Again Sports.

I always prefer the hand built wheels.  However, when you talk about machine built wheels this means more than one thing.  There's the Campagnolo Bora-Ultra, which are as good as wheels get.  Then there's the Bike Nashbar machine built wheel, which would probably be less reliable than a hand built wheel.\nThere are a couple of reasons I like hand built wheels even over the high-end machine built wheels, but the biggest thing is that they are cheap and easy to repair.  If I ding the rim my hand built wheel will cost me $30 plus labor to repair.  Ding that Ksyrium and you have a nice wall ornament.\nA set of Campy record hubs, Velocity rims, and some double butted spokes.  Straight lace a 28-hole front hub.  Tie and solder the rear spokes and you will really have something.

It depends on what price range of treadmill that you are talking about.  A good website for evaluations of different brands of treadmills is http://www.tmdoctor.com/pages/best_buy_awards.php  They don't make treadmills, but repair them, so they have some good info and recommendations in different price ranges.

Well I've been looking at tirerack to try and help ya out, and it looks like they have carry some, but I've been having trouble getting them to come up with a price with an MR2 selected. I figure it'd be worth a shot to give em a call.

If you mean optical, I use one.  They are much better than the old roller-ball mice and much lighter weight too.  I suggest investing in one, they really do make life easier (instead of trying to clean those little white wheels almost constantly!)

You should be able to find one for that price.  There are 2 main types out there: fluid and mag (magnetic) - it's the type of resistance used.  There are pros and cons to both, but not having a trainer, I'm not exactly sure.  Your best bet is to go to your local bike shop and ask them, also if they're nice they might have some set up you can test out.  As with bikes, it's really just a personal choice on what you want.  And if budget is a big issue, you might consider buying online (eBay or CraigsList)

Not bad, but I am geekishly keen on good pens & I recommend "uniball eye micro" (manufactured by a subsiduary of mitsubishi pencil co). They're a lot cheaper in the US than here in the UK, but I think they are branded "sanford" or similar.

my rictas, which are on the higher side of the scale, were i think 30. but you can some good ones for twenty or less. rictas, spitfire and autobahn are really good. you should probably get wheels that are made from a company that only makes wheels. zero and girl and stuff like that may look cooler, but also may wear out faster. wheel-only companies spend all their money and time on finding out good ways to make it faster, stronger, and lighter.

the stepmaster is awesome..though a killer on my knees.  I also use the treadmill on an incline.

Get a GOOD mortar and pestle.  They are online, but you can find them at WM and any good kitchen store. If you are only grinding small amounts, get a smaller one.  I have a huge lava rock one and it's too heavy to lift easily for dumping out what's ground, and it's scary moving it over my counter!

Burton is by FAR the best. The only problem with them is they are marketing geniuses and know a thing or 2 about getting your hard earned cash. My Burton Canyon is now called a Baron and has a $100 higher price tag. They are the EXACT same board. Stood them up side by side at the board shop, same EXACT info on the tags and everything. Like I said, it's all marketing, but they do put out a quality product. One of those love/hate deals, lol.\nI have Ride boots and Bindings, had em for 6 years now so they definitly can take the wear and tear. Saloman makes some nice stuff too as well as K2-good boards.\nWhen I bought my canyon, I bought one from the year before that the board shop had in the back of the rack. Caught a NICE discount.

I like the Moccasin machine by U. S. Products\n\nYou can find all the major manufacturing links on the website listed below.  Just click on the word, equipment on the right side.\nFree site for people in the cleaning business.

Pros of treadmill: Treadmills are padded so they are better for your joints, you dont have to worry about the weather or crime, you can watch tv. You can control the incline which can give you better exercise at lower speeds (which means even less stress on your joints).\n\nCons: You end up watching more tv rather than getting outside and enjoying the fresh air and the real world. Treadmills are notorious for breaking, you should expect no more than 1 years worth of regular use before you throw it away. I cannot stress this last point enough. Expensive treadmills feel more natural but will not last any longer. ALWAYS KEEP YOUR SERVICE CONTRACT UNTIL YOU ARE READY TO THROW THE THING AWAY.\n\nI WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THEM.

Try Bosch, I've heard Black & Decker aren't great

I agree, Charmin is too linty and leaves residue on skin.  I prefer Quilted Northern double roll myself.
