Excellent product no longer made.

This router is considered the original flagship of Linksys. There are several hardware versions that vary in on-board memory, CPU speed and flash memory. While these variances of memory don't effect most users, it will effect those wanting to flash to Tomato or DD-WRT interfaces. Which brings me to the EXCELLENT rating. This router is probably the most re-configured router in the world for home use. For router "hackers", this is the baby that everyone gets. These reconfig options are NOT for the casual user who can just find the power button. The other nice thing about it is the fact that it is VERY rugged and reliable. It has a hard-shell case and protection around the entire router. I even spilled a drink on mine and it kept going after a wash in denatured alcohol. Also, it is fairly easy to set up, even for a novice. But there are those out there that find configuration of a router to be overwhelming. The antennas are external and I know that you are going to get a MUCH better signal over internal, especially at a distance. The new Linksys/Cisco 54G2 is sleek and pretty and somewhat able to be reconfigured to an alternate interface. But it really can't compare, in my book, to the solid performance of the "older" G2. Unfortunately, there is no WRT300N router that looks like this or acts like this. Cisco has really dumbed-down the routers so even idiots can plug it in. And, from a business standpoint, I can see that attitude. I wish they would make a N-version of this very same router with 64MB of RAM and 16MB. Sadly, the Blue Brick is not being made in any form or shape. Some nutbar advertizing geek decided that form is better than functionality. Gladly, there are several thousands of the Blue Bricks out there for sale as people get sucked into N when most people would not even need it. Just keep in mind that they are all 802.11 G (B compatible). The WRT54G is still a very good buy and a very good router. I use it to stream to my PS3 and wireless to several computers in the house. Not a problem. I highly recommend this router to anyone.

SRAM Time Trial TT 900 TT 500 Shifter Spring Kit, Right (rear)

28 June 2016

Works as advertized

This is a good set of springs that fix the SRAM TT500/900 shifter set. Be sure to replace all three springs. It only takes about 20 minutes including re-calibrating the RD. Always use new cables when doing an overhaul. Great seller here at EBAY got me the parts rather quickly.
