The brakes are garbage right off the start. I’ve bought two of these bikes due to them being cheap. And regretted it each time. First one, the brakes squealed constantly. Non stop. And on the handlebars, the handbrake levers are straight down, rather than angled more straight ahead. Meaning it’s very awkward to brake. But it’s so tightened, you can’t loosen it to adjust the angle.
After moving and having to get rid of the bike due to no space to take it with me, I replaced it after a while with the same bike. This time, I got one with both brakes WAY too tightened. To a point you couldn’t ride without resistance. And the handlebars have the same issue with the handbrake angle and being too tight to adjust. Annoyed, and not having the tools on hand to adjust the brakes, I went to a local shop to just have it done there.
They told me they’d never had as many issues as they do with people who buy this brand when it comes to brakes. They see them constantly. I bought this bike twice because it was cheap. Hoped the first go around was just luck of the draw. But no. It’s just general bad quality. And because it’s a BIKE, it’s not exactly as easy to return. Especially after you took it out of the box and assembled it. Because then you have to take it apart again, get the box in your car, and drag it into a mailing center.
Save your money for a good bike.
