I got a great deal on this model at Walmart but haven't been able to ride it yet because the tires were flat. While it looks like a good bike and is very light weight it wasn't assembled very well and there is a problem with the Aero wheels that will cause them to go flat if not repaired first. The thick tapered wheel design calls for special tubes with extra long stems and the spoke nipples are recessed down inside deep holes. Since the spoke holes are exposed to the tubes they have to be covered by a strong rim liner that won't let the tube go into the holes and cause a blowout but that wasn't the case. The bike had flat tires when I got it home but since most of the bikes in the store had tires that were flat or nearly flat I didn't think too much of it until I tried to pump up the tires and there was a leak. The rim strip had broken, exposing the tube to the spoke holes and causing a blowout. I couldn't find any replacement tubes locally so I had to order some from ebay and I ordered new extra strong rim strips also since the original ones were too narrow to cover the holes completely even if not broken. The new rim strips are wider and fit snugly in the wheels so they won't shift. I cut up the original strip into 5" pieces and glued a piece over each set of spoke holes with super glue for extra reinforcement before I put on the new strips and I'm hoping the tubes hold air now.I found other problems with assembly too, the wheel axle nuts were so tight against the bearing the wheels wouldn't turn, the brake pads were not properly aligned and there was no lube on the brake mechanism, brake cables or shift cables.

I just received this bike today and have done some test riding. I do plan to write another review after a few months of having this bike, but over all... It's not bad. Right out of the box it was easy to put together. The brakes seem a bit cheap but they work great and the seat is pretty uncomfortable. The riding is great though. You can take some pretty sharp turns with this bike. I'm not used to not having shocks, so that was a shocker for me...You can feel every bump! It's a quick little bike too. Keep in mind the size. This bike would be best for 5'10 an above. I'm 5'6 and the bike is too bike, but I spend $200, so I'm going to tough it out. Overall, 4/5 stars. You can buy better, but you won't get a better deal than this, unless used.Gears seem to shift smoothly, but there are a few issues that will need adjustments, but that's normal for any bike.The drop handle bars are not that comfortable either, I would suggest getting some of the ones that curve.Great bike, would recommend to anyone!D
