from Black Hills, SDDate Reviewed: May 1, 2011
Strengths: Light weight.
Easily adjusted as child grows.
Accepts nearly all adult parts and mods (rear hub & front shock are exceptions).Weaknesses: Front shock is cheap and too stiff for a child under 60#s.
Rear hub only accepts screw-on freewheel cassettes. The 28-14 ratio is not acceptable here in the Black Hills.
The brake lever pull-length-set-screws are too short.Bottom Line: Great light weight bike for my son. He now has the confidence to ride the single track here in the Black Hills.
I have yet to find a decent front shock for a 24" bike. It seems that the big shock companies marketing department personnel do not have kids. The hub/cassette thing is not that big of a deal - for most kids it rocks. The set screws were annoying - nothing that $1 at Ace HW couldn't fix.
I highly recommend it over the all the other offerings for 24s unless you can find a well kept used Rocky Mountain Edge 24.
Favorite Trail: Tinton - Old Baldy - DakoTA Ridge
