Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The bike is an amazing value, to get an aluminum frame AND fork, there are heavier steel bikes here for twice as much. The geometry is a good balance for comfort and yet the bike is stiff enough for aggressive riding. The componentry works fine if adjusted properly.
Other reviewers (cough) who complain about flat tires need to realize that keeping your tires inflated will avoid most wheel problems. The tires are high-pressure and need to be maintained. This is true for most bikes. The wheels will withstand the usual curb-jumping but they're not for downhill racing.
Again, keep your tires inflated. I can't stress this enough. By doing this, you are lowering the rolling resistance and you will ride faster. Under-inflated tires invite pinch-flats (which is exactly what the other reviewer was experiencing) and debris.
It's sad that most negative bike reviews are usually due to user error.
