interstate inclines | | Duration Product Used: |
6 months | | Strengths: |
none except for the RST 381DH fork. | | Weaknesses: |
components | | Bike Setup: |
rst 381dh fork | | Bottom Line: | The frame and fork is okay. The components suck! The crank arm stripped very easy, the rear wheel will not stay true, the rear and front derailur are constantly needing to be adjusted, the tires won't grip, and the spindle bent. 2 people ride this bike me, 130lbs., and my friend 230ls. I am much ruffer on it than he is so weight is not a problem. I go to my trail on my TREK TR20 and he on his KHS. My bike is better for this riding! It's pathetic! I would junk this bike! If it were mine! | Overall Rating: |

Bomb proof steel frame = cheap | | Weaknesses: |
Bomb proof steel frame = heavy. Whoever said that the bike was light was wrong. Mine tops out just above 33lbs. | | Similar Products Used: |
Trek y-5 (cool bike)
Specz. FSR Comp | | Bike Setup: |
stock - stx derailers and rst tripple clamp forks. | | Bottom Line: | The bike is heavy. That's all you can expect form a steel frame. As for the components - the STX rear derailer has been giving me problems since the day I got it. But for the $500 I spent when it was brand spnaking new a year ago it does alright. | | Overall Rating: |
