Xiaomi Smart Running Shoes Review: Just Right for the 90-Point Young Vibe

No long ago, I bought a pair of Xiaomi 90 Points Running Shoes from Banggood. Generally speaking, this pair of shoes is cost-effective, which is fit for simple running and physical fitness. The heelpieces provide the excellent cushioning effect, which is good for knees protection. And now, let’s check it in detail.


Packaging

To be honest, the packaging is not surprising. The outer packing is a classic brown paper box. That is the consistent Xiaomi style. On the front side, there is only a simple Logo, 90 Points. I have to say that the packaging design is very simple but I just like this way. In addition, the chip is in a separate package.



The whole design of the shoes is in an acceptable discipline, just as the official claimed, with the classic style. The shoe vamp is made up of closely knitted fabric and synthetic leather, forming a mesh-like protection for feet, and at the same time, maintaining a high level of air-breathability. The tongue is designed to surround, which is really good news for me. It seems that this pair of shoes is just tailor-made for me.


Smart Tracker Chip

The smart tracker chip needs to be set under the insole of the right shoe by myself. The design of the smart chip is very simple. The plastic chip is molded integrally as a whole. At least, it feels good on the workmanship. The chip body is completely seamless. There is no charging port. And the lifespan is said to be 800km mileage.


The chip can be connected by scanning the QR code via software. That is a lot easier than the connection of Mi Band. And it also adopts the Xiaomi motion APP. The smart tracker chip supports Android 4.4 or above / iOS 7.0 or above, etc.


Summary

To sum up, this pair of Xiaomi Smart Running Shoes is with high cost-performance and fit for simple running and physical fitness. The relatively wide forefoot design is very suitable for my feet. The integrated shoe vamp is a perfect solution for tongue deviation problems. The excellent cushioning effect offered by the heelpieces provides good protection for knees. Last but not least, the Xiaomi Running Shoes are really light-weight. So, in my opinion, this pair is a great option for those do not play athletics but keep physical fitness moderately, especially for the young people.

How to Fish from a Boat

In areas with sloping banks of ponds Fishing in the wiring becomes very difficult. In this case, just need a boat, which is usually put across the flow of water. Fishing from a boat gives opportunities to look sharper perch. So, how do you properly catch the fish with the boat?

In order to fish during the fishing was constantly on the fishery, it is necessary to constantly feed, periodically adding or changing diet. In this case, it will get used to the trough, and you will be provided with a good catch. But do not fish overfeed, i.e. feed the first, then take a break for a few days, put her on short rations.

The boat should be stable and comfortable, it is desirable that it was larger, so that you can on it safely move and place in it all the necessary things, Tank, gear, rod tip lights, etc. All the rough edges, bolts and projections close the dense material to avoid snags and tangling hooks.

If you catch a fish in shallow water or in standing water, float and sinker can be small, and the rod should be long, which is convenient to fishing from the stern of the boat. So it will be much easier to get the bait and put it over the entire length of the boat. If you fish on the depth in strong currents, fishing rod in this case should be short - 50-70 centimeters. It will be easier to get out of the water during the sweeps.


If a strong current, place the boat across.  During night fishing or when heavy fog, you can bring a good flashlight and fishing rod tip light. Thanks to this, you can make light signals reaching toward the boats and ships. Include it in the case, if you hear an approaching vessel. Waving them in a circular motion, you will give a signal that there is a boat.

How to Choose Bike Rear Lights

As we can see, bike lighting makes the bike not just a means of transportation, but also a significant part of the image in the dark. Except for the aesthetic function, bright bikes are easier to be seen at night, which means more safety for bicycles and bicycle owners. Whatever it was, a complete set of lighting devices cannot do without a powerful rear light, because this lighting system makes it possible to focus the attention of the traffic on the secure area around the bike. So, how to choose a rear light for your bike?


How to Choose Bike Rear Lights

Typically, lights for bicycles should have weatherproof housing. And other important performance indicators are as follows.


Firstly, the light source had better be LED lighting. The rear lights with LEDs are more reliable and able to work for a longer time than, for example, halogen lights. They also have the ability to reproduce a moderate or strong light. Moreover, LED lights are at low power.


Secondly, lumens, the determining unit of luminous flux, is another thing we should take into account as well as. It characterizes the intensity of light and measures it at the same distance from the object.


Finally, the bicycle wireless rear light would be a very good option if there are multiple modes. This will greatly save battery power to continue the work without recharging.

Recommendation

If you are badly in need of this, I would recommend you the 3-in-1 bike wireless rear light. It is a smart device with intelligent sound and anti-theft alarm. In addition, with IPX5 waterproof housing, COB light source, and 800mAh lithium battery, it gets a long lifetime and supports longtime continuously working. And it has 3 modes for adjustment, which is really energy-saving and provides more convenience for users. Moreover, this novelty supports remote control and USB charging. This undoubtedly provides more convenience in finding your own one among the large quantities of bikes at the parking lot. And the USB charging makes it no need of battery replacement. And the most importantly, this bike wireless rear light is now on sale at Banggood by asking for only $13.99, up to 45% off discount. You know, the normal price is $25.43.



Summary

The rear light is an essential thing that helps to ensure the safety of cycling at night, especially in dense city traffic. Powerful rear lights will help to feel comfortable at all intercity roads. To install bicycle lights, you may need simple mounting, soldering skills, patience, and the necessary tools. With these, you may not feel difficult during the whole installation.

How to Set the Cycling Computer

Modern cycling computer is an electronic device that allows you to receive traffic information options when cycling. Set your computer to the bike usually takes some time.

Typically, complete with a bicycle computer is always a special mounting platform just like bicycle phone mount, reed and the magnet on the spokes, lining and tie. Theoretically bicycle computer can be installed at any place on the spokes of a wheel. Still, we recommend positioning the magnet close to the hub to reduce the speed and increase the time that is needed to operate the reed switch. If you decide to fix the computer next to the rim with a large wheel size, display may not be accurate. 

So, to begin with bike computer, attach the sensor to the mounting bolt or the plug. Be sure to adjust the position of the magnet and the reed switch. Almost all of the wired computers come with a special protective jacket of plastic, which provides a secure hold wires to the frame. This wire can wrap a special transparent tape made ​​of polyester. By the way before winding wire, check the purity of the fork and the frame. After installation of the magnet and the reed switch is necessary to remove the front wheel for easy lay of cables.

The wires from the bike computers, set back must take place under the lower rear triangle feathers. There they will be hardly visible. On the mountain bike or hybrid models of the wire can be attached to the cable shift. If that bike without switches gears on the steering wheel, route the cable from the bottom of the pipe to the bottom of the front brake cable. Then it will be possible to let up. It is recommended to leave the segment sagging wire. Also slack between the loop and the tire should leave a small gap. And be sure to take care that the loop does not interfere with gear shifting.


BTW, you can buy bicycle computers at Banggood. Besides, you can easily get other bike accessories (e.g. bike pouch) there with high quality and reasonable prices.

Military Backpack for Camping, Just Right

Military backpacks occupy an important place among the other attributes of fighter gear. From civil and tourist they differ about the same as a tractor differs from APC. This is not surprising, because the backpack, especially belonging to the class of tactical, is just as important to save the life of a soldier and a combat mission, like an automaton.

Tactical backpack, as well as tactical flashlight, tactical gloves and other tactical attributes created for a specific purpose. Its presence is due to set before the task fighter. From this very problem depends on the volume of the backpack, the number and shape of pockets and internal compartments, sling shape and more. If you are going to camping, except for the relaxing inflatable outdoor sofa or something like that, you also need a solid 50L military backpack, for carrying all your needs.

To the fighter did not get tired in long walks or crossings forced marches, worn on the weight equipment currently being evenly distributed. Chief Assistant in this is Vest. Behind him are all kinds of pouches that can be attached to a belt and buckle to the thigh or unloading, body armor. Place in them can be a lot of useful things, from personal shaving accessories to wog. Backpack fighter designed to perform the same task: to accommodate a maximum of necessary things in battle, it does not overload the back and shoulders. Wide straps do not rub or cut into the body, and extra belt distribute weight evenly.


The important role played by the color of fabric. In most cases the army backpacks are made ​​of camouflage fabric. This applies to forms, webbed, the cover on the helmet and backpack. There, where the landscape is covered with forest and undergrowth, using natural camouflage gray-green shades. In the desert and grasslands preferred beige and brown colors. For rocky gray tones used areas. And for the snowy winter there is a special cloth is white, covered with black camouflage spots.

How to Go Fishing in Summer

Fishing - this is not only recreation, but also quite hard physical and mental work. It is necessary to take into account many factors such as the depth of the pond, the water temperature and weather conditions. Preparing for fishing plays an equally important role as skill angler.

You will need
- Fishing gear (including even the fishing shrink tube as long as you need);
- Backpack;
- Compass;
- Lamp;
- Match;
- Knife;
- Thermometer;
- Waistcoat with pockets and a hood;
- First aid kit.

Prepare the necessary fishing gear. Their list depends on what body of water you are going to fish and what kind of fish are going to catch. The thickness of the spectra fishing line for catching fish of small size cannot exceed 0.15 mm, whereas the production would require larger scaffold to 0.3 mm in diameter. It is playing a significant role, and the color of the gear. For fishing from the bottom or among the many underwater snags should use the line of brown shade and light green suit, to extract fish in areas with an abundance of grass.


Get the right backpack. The more it would various pockets and compartments, the better. Backpack should be a large volume to easily accommodate the extra clothes in case of bad weather. Note whether there is a backpack with straps mitigating elements. Fill a backpack those important little things that will make fishing easier and more enjoyable. This can be a compass that does not allow to getting lost in an unfamiliar area, a small flashlight, a few boxes of matches to ignite the fire, and a knife, which is indispensable to the fishing. If you care to know the temperature of the water from which the fish may depend on the intensity, bring a thermometer.
