Re: Walmart Mountain Bikes?
I've had enough trouble with mid-level brand-name componentry on my LBS-bought MTB. I absolutely would not ever buy a supermarket bike.
Mind you, I'm not a fan of LBS bike mechanics either, but I suppose that will vary with the shop. My LBS tends to be cheaper than others for bikes and components - you can't have everything I guess. |

well...I'm into my 3'rd week on my dept store MTB and I'm beginning to wonder if it will make it to the thaw. First the cog set imploded, next the bolt fell out of a brake lever, now the front brake housing broke and the exposed cable creates a "mushy" brake, the bottom bracket is beginning to grind, and the brakes had to be tightened... I guess you get what you pay for, but I'm beginning to think that anyone using this bike for any trail riding must be suicidal 4 more weeks...I hope it holds together for 4 more weeks |

Re: Walmart Mountain Bikes?
A very good bike but expensive in windsor ontario is the Schwinn Blackline at canadian tire and is very good in the snow. It has disc brakes and pure off- road tires (Kenda Kinetics). The bike's disc brakes are wire not hydraulic and they are very good in cold weather. Good reviews on the bike and am thinking of buying one myself.

+1...I use a Schwinn Sierra 700 GSX hybrid as my main commuter, but it's one of the last U.S. built Schwinns, before they went into Chapter 11 and sold to Pacific Cycle (Dorel) a very fast and reliable bike with a Sram 5.0 drive train and an 11-34T cog set for those climbs |
