300 pound weight limit
The ultimate weight bearing capacity of Royce Union bicycles is not tested or calculated. Adult bicycles have been extensively used by riders weighing between 200 and 300 pounds. We don't have any data on riders weighing more than 300 pounds. Huffy products are typically uncomfortable or unusable due to the individual's dimensions, rather than the individual's weight.
The inseam of the legs should be between 34 and 36 inches. For a 20" frame, 36" will suffice.
It is very simple to put this together. The only disappointment I've had is that the front rim was bent, and I've been unable to contact anyone about it. I've already had to replace the tube on a couple of occasions.

Overall, it's a fantastic bike, and I'd give it five stars if it weren't for the fact that it was late. br>br>Because this isn't a high-end bike, don't expect high-end components such as quick-release wheels. The hardware, on the other hand, is extremely robust. br>br>The frame is sturdy and far more than I expected for the price; I'm 6'4" and weigh 300 pounds, and the frame barely flexed under my weight. br>br>The barrings squeak under my heavy weight, but there was no squeaking or signs of struggle when my friend (225 pounds) rode the bike. br>br>The brakes appear to be in good working order, and I was able to come to a safe stop within a reasonable distance. br>br>I like the tires because they are wide and not overly aggressive, and I believe they will perform well on trails as well as on the road. They generate significantly less drag than anticipated. br>br>The back end is equipped with a luggage rack. Gears appear to be shifting smoothly. br>br> br>br>If I could change one thing about this bike, it would be the ride position, but that is difficult to find in a stock bike. br>br>For the price, I am not sure there is a better city/trail bike on the market for an entry level rider. This bike appears to be comparable to the stolen Specialized 'Hard Rock. ' br>br>If your inseam is less than 38", the 22" is not for you. I have a 39 1/2" inseam and I barely fit into this frame. If the company produces a hybrid with this frame in the future, I will purchase one.
Even though I read the instructions and tightened it with care, the entire piece was made of very thin metal and simply pressed together. Very low-cost and of poor quality, particularly in terms of the steering mechanism. br>I am a mechanical engineer with a lot of skills. There is no way to avoid breaking this part during the assembly process. This bike isn't safe even if it's put together correctly!.
Pros: My inseam is 38" and I'm 6'8". The sturdy aluminum frame easily supports my weight while remaining light enough to lift and place on a storage/carry rack with minimal effort. br>Cons: The heavy-duty suspension fork holds up well, and the large wheels and tires provide a smooth ride, with smooth and precise gearshift action. br> If you're making a bike frame for someone with a 37-inch inseam, keep in mind that most people aren't cartoon characters with legs twice as long as their upper half. I couldn't adjust the seat to the correct height while still inserting it to the marked minimum safe length because the seat tube, head tube, and pedals were all standard size; The handlebars were excessively low. My feet slipped off the teeny-tiny pedals, and I fell down. To make the bike rideable, I needed to purchase additional seat tubes, head tubes, front brake cables, and pedal extensions. In addition, the instruction manual was generic, making assembly more difficult. br>Overall: Despite the additional time and money required to fit this bike, it's still a good deal when compared to the $700-plus bikes on the market. In addition, my neighborhood bike shop was looking for something that would fit me properly. The bike's comfort rating is based on how comfortable it is to ride. If the correct-size peripheral parts had been included, I would have given it four stars.
The bike is extremely well constructed. My only complaint about the bike is that the stem bolt for the handlebars keeps loosening, causing my alignment between the handlebars and the front tire to come off, and eventually loosen to the point where I can no longer turn safely. To keep re-assembling things, I have to keep an Allen wrench in my pocket. During my rides, I tighten the stem. br>This could be specific to my bike or to the model as a whole. I don't have any idea.
Because the assembly was difficult, I took my bike and parts to a bike shop after three days and had them put it together for me for $35. Wasn't too bad, but I just got back from my third bike ride and I'm in awe. I'm relieved to report that there have been no complaints.
With basic on-road use, I broke a spoke on the hub side of the wheel, so I'm not happy with this bike. It had never been on a trail before. People at the bike shop aren't interested in working on it at all. I'd like to get my money back. I'm currently on the lookout for a new bicycle.
After a year of cycling, it's no longer so good. After a year of use, it became noisy, and it was over-heated. All in all, it's not a bad bike, but it could be better; next time, I'll try a different model; it still feels sturdy, but the noise is intolerable; I'll have to take it to the shop soon. I did go mountain biking with it, but I bike slowly on rough terrain and weigh only 170 pounds, so it's not like I abused it. Also, because the wheels are close together, a 27. 5" isn't well-designed and may trip you on difficult mountain turns, so it necessitates a little more experience, which you don't want while mountain biking. Over- Overall, it wasn't a bad purchase; however, I only gave it three stars.
br>br>There's also the added benefit of getting to know your bike a little better when you have to put it together yourself. I'd recommend it, and I'd buy it again if it was stolen or something.
