There is a 250-pound weight limit on this bike according to its warranty. An oversized rider is not covered by the manufacturer for damage that occurs above this limit.
I took ten days off
That's right, I know. A nice little bike. I'd recommend getting it tuned up at your local shop before riding it. A sturdy piece.
As the model is higher, the components will be better
Selected User Reviews For Mongoose Switchback Adult Mountain Bike, 8-21 Speeds, 27.5-Inch Wheels, Aluminum Frame, Disc Brakes, Multiple Colors
Through sand and mud with gravel terrain, I took on a dirt bike trail and performed well. As soon as you slow down, the shifter is unable to find the lower lightweight gears. The chain keeps spinning with the drive When I lift up the peddle, the gears engage. I have to stop the bike and lift up so that the peddle engages. Mongoose was founded in California, so when I first received the box, it said made in China, which didn't make much sense to me since I thought I was buying an American bike. Aside from stating where it's made, Amazon ought to mention it in its advertisement. By buying American products, I make sure our economy remains strong and American jobs are created. As long as Amazone does not tell the truth about whether the product was made in that location, I won't purchase bikes from them.
I had a deal with my daughter. After doing well in school she got a new bike. She likes that one and wanted it so much. It's ok, no problems there. It will be about a month before the check arrives. I hate it. I'm ok with whatever you say. I had no problems assembling the product. I went ahead with the box as it looked fine. Hence, before passing the keys to my daughter, I drove it for a brief period of time. There was a need for brake repairs. I adjusted them a little. The oil did not help make them stronger, because that covered them. Clean them off, and the problem has been resolved. I noticed that my rear wheel was grinding as I was adjusting it. I even had to remove the brake caliper because there was nothing hitting it. We're still grinding away. They were a little weak with bearing grease on the assembly, so I believed they were. It took me just a few seconds to notice the problem. You've got a freakin bent rim! I don't know what to do! There was no easy way to remove the quick release stem. The thing has been out for a while. As a result, I removed the assembly to ascertain how bad the problem This is going to be a long day. There is a small error here. I am not sure what the hell happened to this thing, but this thing has problems, as you can see in the photos. As a result, I need to get in touch with Amazon and see what they plan to do about it. A brand new bike for me, and a brand new bike for you. It breaks my heart to see how my daughter is doing. Getting in her face, got her to do well, and she got a dud as a reward.
I like the look of that. There is one positive about this bike. It is heavy and runs well. The frame is referred to as aluminum but is advertised as such. A gear shifting mechanism is installed in the transmission. Only the front of the device is functioning properly, the rear is not. A brake is a device used to control brake pressure. I don't believe it! The problem persists even after a pro-rated adjustment There are issues with the brakes. It can lock up the rear wheel or brake Unless you can ride it carefully (locking rear wheel, no stopping power), do not buy this bike. It is only three days after I have returned.
Unfortunately, it appears that the bike was damaged in shipping as both the front and rear discs are bent now after assembly, this is really annoying (
I love the bike and color, but additional costs will be incurred due to shipping damage. I had to replace both the front and rear discs due to the box being open on top, and it seems the wheels also were dinged during shipment.
With its great riding capabilities, this bike is a very sweet looking bicycle at a very affordable price. The bike arrived mostly assembled, however the seat and post, handlebars, forks and front wheel must be assembled. If you have any mechanical skills, this can be done pretty easily. Other than the brakes, I had to adjust a few things on my initial test ride, but everything else was fine. I was very surprised at how light the mountain bike is for a mountain bike with front suspension, I'd say it weighs less than Although I was a little worried on whether or not the bike picture online would reflect the actual unit's color scheme and how smooth and sturdy the ride would be, I was extremely pleased with the bike's color scheme. I am very pleased with my bike, and I recommend that you consider one priced between $500 and $700 Keeping it at $600 is a good.
I. The problem Stunning bike! You cannot go wrong with it! As soon as I put it together I needed to check it out at a bike shop to make sure it was safe! I love this bike - it's The height of my frame is 5'2! As a convenience, I listed my height and bike so that someone can find it. Normally, I rent a bike from a rental shop and bike very slowly. Since I have my own bike, I can ride much faster than the rentals! Since I already have a bike seat I am not sure if the seat is comfortable and I had to buy a kickstand for years to come. Also, it comes with a wheel that you can remove easily, which makes it easy to store in a car.
Since some of the reviews on Amazon indicate the bike has gotten lousy reviews, I was cautious about ordering it. But looking at the negative feedback, it seems most of them have to do with shipping, rather than the If you find your Mongoose Switchback inside a complete, undamaged cardboard box (which is what I did), you'll find a well-made computer that takes pride in its innovative design, Excellent bicycle for its price. Upon looking at the bike you'll see that the matte paint is attractive, and that it is (somewhat heavy, but manageable) It is smooth to operate Shimano shifters, cassettes, cogs, cranks, and DISC brakes. The Kendals hybrid tires are perfect for a variety of surfaces when mounted on Xposure aluminum rims. I found the front shock on the Xposure to be a bit soft, but it's plenty for someone who weighs under 200 pounds. A rigid grip, seat, and handlebars make the bike feel comfortable to use. Having ridden this bike for a few hours over the course of a week, the only criticism I can make is the plastic shifters feel cheap, and I am doubtful of how well the cranks and pedals hold up As an everyday bike, where it isn't going to be abused much off road, it is a wonderful bike and is very.
