(More customer reviews)Even though is a heavy bike (35-40), I have found it very fun. I am no professional but I can say that is fulfilling my expectations, I had a minor problem with the front brake mechanisms but contacted kent international ( Jeep just sold the name, dont manufacture bikes) and they sent a replacement set right away that works perfectly, so far I've owned it for 3 weeks, a few flat tires but who doenst get that? I am switching to other type of tubes later on.
I will update if anything else arises
Sunday June 26 '11. I had a hard time fixing the derrailler (however is written), after jumping off a sidewalk( a simple jump, no big deal) it got stuck between the rim, and had to straighten it. It damaged the rim, left it a bit curved and broke one of the support lines that go from the center to the end. It is now bent and constantly in contact with the brakes leaving no choice I believe but to get a new rim, and probably another derrailer since it was badly damaged. I noticed that the nut and bolt was loose, somehow I thing from factory because it was a part that I did not assemble when I got it by mail. I am checked for more loose nuts and bolts and to my surprise MOST of them were loose, just set to the point the bike wont fall apart, that cannot be good I do not remember in any page of the instructions a sign to check for loose screws or anything like that. I hope Kent responds to this, at least replacing the damaged items...
Thursday 31. While riding in the City, I jumped off a sidewalk and the derrailler completely fell apart. I wondered why did this happened. I will try to describe what I saw, The screw that holds the derrailler was totally...worn, with no grip lines, as well as the base where it is held, in other words, there is no way to screw in back since there are no lines, and there are several small pieces of scrap metal all over the screw hole . I am calling Kent today and see what we can do. The bike's rear tire i still messed even worse, increased the friction with the brake because is disarranged even more. It is quite hard to change shifts, I believe is the derailer that is damaged now, it gets stuck and wont go back itself unless forcing it by hand, so now I have to anticipate way before 2 or 3 gears to have a substancial shift.
It has become a bad experience overall since every time I go out with my bike (which has great aesthetics, but not great quality) is stalling me because of different things. The maneuver is loose, and tried tightening the screws more with no positive result. I dont think I could dare to go into the mountain with this bike, I would be left in the wilderness after the first jump off a rock. THIS BIKE IS CLOSE OR NEXT TO A TRAIL BIKE, USE IT FOR RECREATION, CITY OR AS PAPERWEIGHT.
Again, you get what you pay for...
