Works well, plays well with others.
I bought this as a replacement for the shifter on my wife's Diamondback Serene bike. Other than the top color being different it was almost an exact replacement for what was there. Installation took about three minutes and it shifted perfectly the first time without adjustment. The way to install it so you don't need to mess with the adjustment is to leave the bike in its highest gear on the front derailleur, set the new shift in first (1) gear, pull the old shifter and cable, replace the cable in the sheath and reattach the cable in the same place as the old one on the lower shift. As long as you did everything without disturbing the derailleur, you should not have to mess with any adjustments. Overall it's a good quality replacement part.

Don't waste your $$ Poor quality. No text recipes
1 of 1 found this helpful I have to admit that I am a fan of Giada's cooking and I had great expectations when I ordered this set. They were however crushed. While I still love Giada's cooking, this set is just a way for Food Network to make money. They really cheated with these DVD’s. All they have are the video from the show, no text recipes, no link to the on line shows and no computer support. They play in Windows media player but the set does not contain the recipes. You can get more by taping the shows and then going to the web to download recipes. Another disappointment is the so so transfer quality to DVD. Perhaps I've been spoiled by HD and Tivo but the older shows I've recorded have had better playback quality than the episodes on the DVD's. It is in the old 480p but the quality of the transfer to DVD is dark and about the same quality as your average old VHS tape, not DVD quality. I get the impression Food Network got cheap and subbed out the DVD transfer to the lowest bidder (China?) and it shows.
I could watch Giada read the dictionary and her cooking is really first rate. But, that’s all you get is watching Giada. Thank god she is easy to understand and her recipes are easy to follow. But to get consistent results on some of the dishes, you should search the web and find the hard copies. While Giada herself is great, this set is a waste of money. You’re better off recording the shows and going to the web to get the recipes you want or, better yet, just stick with her cookbooks which are all first rate and worlds above this cheap presentation.

Typical AV remote, poorly designed overly complex
Why is it that that the phone) in my pocket that has more power than the space shuttle with a simple user interface while the remote for a receiver with a brain the size of a pea has a remote with more complexity than the tax code? This remote is just like most others put out by the audio divisions, dozens (literally) of tiny buttons labeled with even smaller cryptic abbreviations. Add a function to the new model, no problem add more buttons. So like most of these things, if you need it for your receiver you have to have it. But, like most receiver remotes, you will hate the unnecessary complexity.
