Schwinn Solution GSD Men's Mountain Bike (26-Inch Wheels) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have this bike for over a year now, to commute to work. I tried both a mountain bike and a Comfort bike, but the seating position and tire was not very comfortable for the mountain bike, and the Comfort bike seating position did not allow good power transfer to the pedal when accelerating or going up hill. This bike offers a good combination of comfortable seating position, smooth road riding, and power transfer to the pedals. Here is my observation summary:
Cons:
-Not easy to assemble, similar to most bikes that come in a box.
-Takes a long time to fine tune gears, and disk brakes.
-Front brake has developed a squeal when braking.
-Heavy, for a road bike.
Pros:
-Not difficult to assemble.
-Once tuned, stays in tune.
-Brakes work well, dry or wet.
-Seating position is between typical mountain bike and comfort bikes.
-Comes with kick stand, but in mid position, not at rear hub.
-Tire tread design has a center ridge for smooth rides on the road, but also side nubs for light-duty off road riding.
I have upgraded the bike into my ideal commuter bike:
-Suspension seat post.
-Wireless computer.
-Bell.
-2 Led lights.
-Handle bar ends (short).
-Front and Rear Fenders.
-Rear kick stand.
-Topeak MTX rear rack and bag.
-Toe Clip and Strap (standard).
-Water bottle cage (standard).
Total cost about $300 (bike) + $300 (upgrades) = ~$600
