| Great bike for the price. Only flaw I noticed is that the stickers look like they will not last very long. It comes basically put together so you wont need to do very much. Great value! |
Excellent Bike and Excellent Price

| This is an excellent bike for $150. Worth every penny. Assembly took a few hours to tweek everything perfectly such as brakes and shifters. Next assembly would take about an hour if you have all tools and know what you are doing. Assembly instructions are not the best and could be simplified in 3 pages. |

| A Mongoose is NOT always the 1500 to 3500 dollar bike that we adore. Recently I bought a mongoose for under 200 bucks. It came with what I call cheap wheels and tires very similar to those found on cheaper bikes..When you pay under 200 bucks you can't expect to get the stainless spokes and an almost perfectly tuned bike. I am guessing but I believe most of the cheaper Mongoose bikes may have some generic parts. For example my tires look like cheap 10-15 dollar tires. They are stamped with the load range at 198 Lbs.. HOWEVER, for a low priced bike I am HAPPY with mine and the tires are holding up well. I had to tune the bike and will soon take it apart and grease the bearings and cables. Both derailleurs front and back were not set correctly and she shifted like a dog. The front tire wobbled so badly it would rub on the brake shoe with each revolution and setting the hand brake was almost impossible. I fixed it by simply truing the wheel using a small wrench on the spokes and adjusting the derailleurs. This is easily done. I simply loosen the spoke that pulls the tire off to the side and tighten the two on the opposite side. I make small adjustments at a time until she is fixed.. I tuned the bike and now I LOVE her. Mine has 27 speeds.. I am 62 years old and still buff. I weigh just over 200 lbs. In granny gear this bike pulls hills very slowly and yes it takes some getting used to.. If you tune this bike and take care of it I believe you will get your money's worth unless you end up with a real lemon. It's best to consider what you want this bike to do before you buy. I tool around on the farm on mine and ride trails up to 3 or 4 miles a day just for exercise. If you want professional, pay out the yang, yang..If you want a bike to enjoy in your leisure time then this baby may work for you and save you big bucks too. |

Great bike!!!
The sual suspension really works and it is great to use
Only problem is that the left shifter sometimes slips the chain off of the gear and has to be re-attached but that is very easy.
I Love It!!!! |
Good bike for money

The bike looks very good and durable. It is nice to ride but takes a bit of tuning.
I am not sure how it works in the mountains as I am only using it to ride through the city every other day for 3-5 miles.
When I first got it the tires must have stood for too long in the warehouse, as one of them burst before I could even go for a ride.
I had to buy new tires for another 80$. Also the rear tire doesn't have a real resting point so that the wheel might be a bit wabbly and it takes some time to adjust the wheel and the brakes accordingly.
Other than that it's a great bike and I don't think one could expect more for the amount of money spent. I really like riding it and the 21 gears are working just fine. Saddle has a quick release and assembling it took around 2 hours including the tuning.
