entry level brand... wow, just wow!!! Giant is not an entry level brand, they are the largest bicycle manufacturer in the world, they make Trek bikes, Scott bikes, and many more brands. An equivalent style Giant bike is every bit as good as a Trek, if not better.

Honestly think it was defect when I bought it. Frame part where it forks to allow the wheel to fit got bent. ****ing Walmart Mongoose bike! I weight 185 for the record.

I might have a tad more muscle.

Went to the local bike shop finally. Told the guy what my needs were. He recommended and I road a Specialized Rockhopper linked below.
$560 out the door price which includes free tuneups for life. Why is this so much cheaper than the online price? Also, holy shit. I had no idea bikes could be that smooth and shift with such ease. My God it was incredible and this is just a "basic" model? https://www.specialized.com/us/en/me...=240208-128930

Keep it clean and get a tuneup on it once a year and it'll last a lifetime I have an entry level Trek that I eventually handed down to my daughter to use to travel around the university campus. The bike is 16 years old, sat out in the rain, snow, dust for 4 years on campus. Clean it up, tune it up and still rides great. |

Is that the type of riding you're looking at doing? If not, I'm not sure it makes sense to carry the weight of a mountain bike around with you. As far as the price difference, the online price of my CrossRip was $1099, the regular price at the place I bought it was $999, and I got another 10% off because I bought it during a winter sale, so I don't think it's all that unusual. |

They basically had mostly Specialized bikes is the shop as well. A few Cannondales and that was it.

How the hell do you tune up a bike ? Spray the gears with WD40 and check the tire pressure ?
