Favorite Trail:
Jail Trail
Duration Product Used:
3 months
Price Paid:
$290.00
Purchased At:
Fitzharris bike shop
Strengths:
Good entry level bike for dirt trails and city riding. Good frame used by haro through most of its bottom end lineup. Vary light in comparison to my old steel framed bike.
Weaknesses:
Just about all the components. Tourney rear derailure fails under load. 50mm fork is weak. V-brakes need an upgrade. The bike really needs a lower gear. The seat looks bad. Needs double wall rims.
Bike Setup:
Haro flightline S with rockshox dart 2, tekro V-brakes, alivo derailure, wtb seat, shimano extra low gear.
Bottom Line:
I bought this bike knowing that i would be upgrading probably every part. I like the feel, due to light weight over my buddies trek 820. Its a good bike for getting around town. I would recomend spending the $$ and getting a bike with much better components. Not bad if your on a budget. If you want to get out on trails and hit them hard you'll destroy everything but the frame like I did.
