Assembly Information

This bike will arrive partially assembled in a large cardboard box and needs to be assembled and tuned prior to riding. Here is a brief list of what you need to do to complete assembly:

  • Flip the stem, install front wheel
  • Install handlebars
  • Install saddle
  • Install pedals, use grease (**the RIGHT pedal is installed clockwise, the LEFT counter clockwise**)
  • True the wheels
  • Tune the brakes, derailleurs

While assembly of this factory direct bike is simple, it takes time and specialized tools which are not included. We highly recommend bringing it to a local shop for a safety check/tuning by a qualified bike mechanic prior to riding and at regular intervals thereafter.

Not even worth for beginners
I bought this bike as a beginner as something to start with for least a year or so and then I was planning to upgrade after. Took me awhile to get in mail as they require you to sign for it upon delivery, so I had to drive to UPS warehouse to fetch it, as soon as I got it in the mail it didn't take long to put it together but there were some missing parts and screws, which fortunately I had them myself and put it together, but couldn't put the reflectors on it since missing parts. Took it for a ride right away and I start hearing a faint clicking in back and I notice the cassette is slightly wiggling in its place. I figured it's not that a big deal as long as it's not causing problem to the chain. I read their policy that there's no warranty on this bicycle (not even parts) and if you want to return it you'll have to pay for shipping, which is as much as the amount you practically bought it yourself. I guess I learnt my lesson not to buy bicycle online any more or make sure they offer free return as well as warranty on parts if damaged and such. Anyway, 3 months down the line while I was riding around neighborhood the chain dropped loose, fortunately, didn't break. But I put it back on and took it to a bike shop. Cost me $80 to chanage the cassette with a brand new one since the old one had damaged baring in the cassette. The handle bar caps fell off couple days ago, the covering band on handle bar are loose and I had to find a way to tighten up myself. It's only been 6 months since I purchased it and bicycle is already starting to breaking apart. The bicycle is made of cheap materials, very cheap and easily breakable. To those reading this review, if you buy a bike as cheap as this you'll up spending couple hundred on it anyway. Might as well get a little expensive one to get a peace of mind.
