sixthreezero Around the Block Men's Cruiser Bike with Rear Rack (24-Inch and 26-Inch)

I opened the box and checked the contents; everything appeared to be in working order, so I started putting the front tire, handle bars, rack, and peddles together. etc. ). It only took me about 20 minutes to finish and get it ready for a test ride, and I must say, the "Around The Block" looks pretty cool. So I go for a test ride, and after about a block, I hear a squeak coming from the lower bearing of the headset. Let's see if the squeak goes away as the bearing grease moves around during the ride, but it didn't, and the squeak became a grinding noise whenever I even slightly turned the handlebars. br>br>When I got home, I took off the handlebars and the headset cap nut to see what was wrong. Surprisingly, the lower bearing was bent, with approximately 30% of the ball bearings missing. I was also struck by how poorly the bearings were constructed (it's no surprise they failed). In any case, I contacted Sixthreezero and informed them of the situation. They responded two days later, apologizing for any inconvenience and requesting that I send some photos, which I did. So, a few days later, they said they'd send me a replacement bearing set (or they'd pay for the repair if I took it to a bike shop). Because I'm a fairly mechanical person, I decided to do it myself. br>br>It took about 4 days for the replacement bearings to arrive (I had to call to see if they had shipped them). I received the new bearings and went to install them, only to discover that they were the incorrect size; I emailed the company on Friday, 5/4/18, requesting the correct size, but have yet to receive a response. I've had the bike for a few weeks and have only ridden it once or twice, so it's currently sitting in pieces in my garage while I wait for a $2 part. Crazy. I should have just returned it to Amazon and ordered a Firmstrong, but I threw out all of the packaging and don't want to deal with the hassle of returning it. br>br>In general, I'm not happy with the bike's overall quality, and if I ever need another cruiser, I'll look into other brands.

It's tough and simple to put together. I was looking for a cheap single-speed cruiser to ride with my kids, and I narrowed my options down to this bike and a Firmstrong at the same price. The lack of color options was the only drawback I could find, but the addition of the rear rack/pannier platform tipped the scales in my favor. This bike arrived in just a few days, packed in a box inside a box. There was no damage at all, and it was well-packaged. The only issue I ran into during the assembly process was that the handlebar gooseneck was so tight that I had to use a 6MM ratchet to loosen it. However, the bike was incredibly simple to put together, and the instructions were simple to follow. The components and frame were of good quality, as was the proof. br>br>The only thing that irritated me was trying to get the front wheel to stop wobbling. When I spun it, it had a distinct wobble, so I tightened some spokes by trial and error (with the help of a spoke wrench) and wham! The tremor had subsided. br>br>It rides well, the upright posture is great for my back, and it's a blank slate when it comes to customization, so the possibilities are endless with this bike. This is the bike for you if you want a low-cost beach cruiser that is cool and durable for general riding; I've put about 100 miles on it in the few weeks I've had it and haven't had any problems. br>br>In terms of sizing, I'm 6 feet tall and weigh 240 pounds, and the bike doesn't feel small at all, and it easily handles my weight. This bike will not let you down, big guys.

This. This bike is a time machine; buy it if you want to relive the joy and exuberance of your first two-wheeled adventure. wheeler! Other than that, I have two other bicycles: a 24- mountain bike with a 21-inch diameter and a speed mountain bike I ordered it after renting a couple of cruisers with my son on a recent trip to Philadelphia in the hopes that it would provide the same upright posture, ease of pedaling, and thrill that they did, and it did not disappoint. It was shipped quickly and arrived within a few days. Assembly was simple, and I found the bike to be very adaptable to my height and weight (I'm 6'2" and weigh around 195 pounds). The directions were well-written and simple to understand. I've been riding around the neighborhood with my kids all summer, and it's been so much fun to rediscover the joy of riding a bike just to feel the wind in my face. I'm 12-years-old when I'm on this bike with my kids. years- old all over again- I can't say enough good things about it. A fantastic product from a fantastic company.

br>The bike appears to have been packaged in such a way that it has been protected from damage. br>Bikes aren't too heavy, and the seat pad has plenty of padding. br>br>Issues:br>br>Man, the construction was shoddy! br>br>I got the seven-speed, but the instructions weren't exactly what I needed. I didn't realize the hardware was already preinstalled in the bike when I was looking for parts; the instructions said they were in box 3, and I emailed the company thinking I was missing parts. br>br>The screw on my front reflector was stuck, so I couldn't put it on. They appear to have been pushed in by a machine (I'm still trying to figure out how to get it on. ) )br>br>The part list stated that I would receive a rear reflector, but I didn't (unless the back rack reflector is the rear reflector)br>br>I had to figure out some things on my own outside of the directions. The brakes were in the way, so I couldn't put the front wheel on first. To complete step one, I removed the brake pads. Even installing the handle bar was difficult because the brake and shifter on the handles were oriented incorrectly. As a result, I had to use force and some of the Allen wrench provided to flip them over. br>br>Because some of the Allen screw holes have been stripped, they don't fit perfectly. It would be advantageous if you had your own tools. br>br> It was my first time assembling a bike, and even with the instructions, there was a steep learning curve.
