Mens Hybrid Midmoor Bike Schwinn beta
Nice frame, but beware of some cheap components. Beautiful bike, has all the right features for a city commuter bike.
The bad:
The free wheel (or AKA “cassette”) arrived defective. This is the part that your chain wraps around and has several gears (7 in this case), next to the rear wheel. Some of the gears on the free wheel were bent, cause the gear to slip. Very cheap made in China crap. The good news is that for $20 a bike shop can replace Schwinn Midmoor Mens Hybrid Bike for a nice Shimano free wheel. Then 1 pedal bent within 30 days (it looks like metal but interior has plastic).
The good:
Had the pedal and free wheel not being so crappy, I give this bike a sure 4 stars after a little money pured in for a free wheel and a pedal. Frame feels very solid and strong, yet lightweight aluminum. After a professional tune-up (and the 2 components above replaced), the bike is handling great.
The shifter is a good Shimano shifter (but not their best of course, this is a $240 bike). The gear changer is a basic Shimano touring, but still a Shimano.
Very easy to assemble. It is mostly assembled. This is the first bike I ever assembled right out of the box. It took me less than 2 hours, going very carefully. As long as you have a basic set of allen key, 1 regular adjustable wrench (for the pedals), and ONLY IF replacing the seat, a ratcheting wrench will be very helpful.
You WILL NEED to have the brakes and gears adjusted, and the wheel trued. If you can’t do it, it is worth spending the $50 for a professional shop to do it. The difference afterwards is like night and day.
Conclusion:
This bike should be advertised as great bike that needs some additional parts purchased (to replace the 2 cheap components that will break easily)!
I added a nice comfortable seat, rear and front lights, splash guards (I know they aren’t pretty, but necessary on a commuter bike, and actually looked pretty good with it). I might even add a rear rack, since this is now my official commuter bike. Once I poured some money in on repair mentioned above, accessories and a tune-up, I love this bike.
Bike Diamondback Option BMX for good
Fantastic trike!. Ths trike is exceptional. My son is shorter than average and we got Diamondback Option BMX Bike for him for Christmas before he was three. He could still pedal it and it has wonderful balance. Nice tires as well, and great for going over bumps. He says his other trikes hurt his bottom when he goes over bumps. It is so flashy and stylish and everyone compliments us on its looks. Fantastic price on Amazon as well as this bike sells for over $200 elsewhere. Signed Happy Mom in NOLA
Details about Computer Schwinn 17-Function Bike
Pretty good…. This bike computer has lots of useful functions on an easy to read screen. Installation was a breeze. The only problem I had was that the default settings suggested in the manual did not work well. The odometer was off by over 1000 feet per mile. I used my GPS to “dial Schwinn 17-Function Bike Computer in”. The manual included a conversion formula but it was only good used with Millimeters and my tapes only measured inches. So this would get 5 stars if not for that problem. However now that I have figured out the correct code for the wheel input, I am going to purchase a second unit for my wife. For all its functionality, the Schwinn Bike Computer is a great value for the money.
Update: I purchased a second unit for my wife but after I installed it, I tried to configure it but the right button was inoperative. To Amazon’s credit, I received a replacement within 24 hours and it works perfectly. Cheers to Amazon for their excellent Customer Service!
Freestyle Girls Bike Mongoose Slyde ok or not
great entry level bike for the price!. I became interested in competing in a triathlon, so I started shopping at the local bike shops for a decent entry-level bike. The cheapest ones were still over $400!! So, when I saw this bike on Amazon on sale for $89.99 with FREE shipping I couldn’t resist. I had myself measured at the local bike shop to make sure I was getting the correct size and style of bike I wanted.
I don’t have much to add to the other comments, but I did want to say that the bike wasn’t too difficult to assemble (it helps to have someone knowledgeable about bikes to help), and it’s a very smooth ride. I was lucky in that there weren’t problems with any of the parts. When I called Kent to ask what size allen wrenches I should use, they answered my questions with no problems.
The purpose of this bike, for me, is to figure out if I’m really interested in becoming more serious in road biking. This bike is an excellent way to try Mongoose Slyde Girls Freestyle Bike out, without breaking the bank.
Value & Thomas Bike Toddler Pack Helmet Hardshell Friends result
Perfect addition. I had the 3-wheeled Thomas scooter sent to my four year old grandson in AZ for his birthday. The helmet and safety pads were a must, but the fact that they went along with the Thomas theme was perfection.

Womens Montana Bike Mountain Mongoose chance
Uncomfortable. The bike comes with the hardest seat I have ever sat on! Also, the way the seat is so far above the handle bars, or Mongoose Montana Womens Mountain Bike seems that way, makes my wrists hurt.
Say hi to 16-Inch Spider-Man Bike
Excellent Bike. I purchased this bike for my little boy who is almost 4 years old, and he absolutely loves it. Even his sister (who is 6.5) rides Spider-Man 16-Inch Bike (I just raise the seat up for her).
Get Bike Evolution Mountain Boys Pacific now
Good value. My 7 year old son loves the bike. Postives: the 20″ wheels are a good fit for him, the mountain bike style is much to be desired by my son, frame is solid, set up was 15 minutes, attractive colors, great price, chain guard so the kids pants to get ripped up in the gear. Negatives: hand brakes are a little difficult for my son to get a good grip on (he’ll grow into it), gears are a little cheap. Gear 5 & 6 rub the chain against the tire. Good value when you look at what the bike has to offer vs. the price.
Do you really love BMX Strike Mongoose Boys Bike ?
mongoose bike. I got this for my 14 year old son for Christmas. It is now the end of August and Mongoose Strike Boys BMX Bike has been a good bike for my son. He is a tall kid at 5′10, but he rides this bike every day with no problems. I had no problems with shipping, parts, or instructions.
