Bike shouldn't be rated base on shopping experience

On: 2008-05-22

I hate it when people give products a bad rating because the store that they bought the item from sucked. I have the 2007 version of this bike, and I have been riding it 10-15 miles everyday without any problems. It is a bit heavy, but hardly noticeable when riding. It maneuvers very easily, and it goes through the gears very smoothly. The build feels very solid, and I think they are made out of very good parts. I dont take this bike on mountains, and I dont advise you to. This bike is a very good bike for paved roads and trails. If the handlebars are loose...it probably means you didnt tighten it down enough yourself.

Don't do it.

I am giving this bike 1 star because Amazon doesnt allow anything less. If you are thinking about buying this bike, you would be better off going to a bike shop and spending 50 dollars more. The bike shops 250 dollar bike will be lighter weight, have better parts, and most of all will be more reliable. In the long run you will save money too. I guarantee that you will spend more on repairs of this bike than the initial cost at purchase. And, if you take a look at any of the other bikes on this site, well then remember this review; as it is true across the board.

Strong and 35 lbs

On: 2007-10-16

It came partially assembled. I had to put on the front wheel and the handle bar. I needed one box wrench and one allen wrench. The seat has a quick release lever and the pedals just screw on. The tires can handle 60 lbs. I put 55 lbs. in each tire. Be sure to position the tire so that the valve stem is directly under the valve stem opening on the rim before inflation to keep from stressing it.
I road on a ruff wilderness trail for three hours without any mechanical problems. It weighs 35 lbs. total.

Don't do it.

Good solid bike...

This bike has a solid feel to it. The shimano derailleur is very good. As with most mountain bikes, it is a bit heavy, but the wide knobby tires will give you much better traction than a lighter racing bike and are a safeguard against spills on the road. The dual-suspension gives the bike a comfortable ride. The only negative is that at $200 retail the bike is a bit expensive. However, I was able to pick one up in mint condition at a thrift store for only $20 bucks.

Things Just happen!

I bought this bike because the mongoose MGX was out of stock and the gas prices were rising. The only concern I had was that the bar handle became loose on my first ride. I had to walk the rest of the way! other than that the ride is smooth on the bike. 3 stars from ME...
