This is good for the "do it your-selfers"...the bearings are high quality and a good price. However, I've learned my limitations and patience with such projects. I will probably take my bike to the LBS for the next bearing change.

Cheap Notubes Wheel 29er ZTR Crest With 3.30 Hub

Customer Ratings:

Tacoed this wheel on the second ride out. Not so good if in rough terrain. If you are just a trail rider this would be a great lightwieght wheel, But if you are flying over rocks and doing anything technical I would not recomend this wheel. I went to the Arch and it is a tougher wheel and has worked good so far.

Only the models with 16T or more are standard ISO thread, which is what flip-flop hubs have. 15T and less are for M30 thread, which is only on weird BMX bikes.

I have a formula flip flop hub and I am in the middle of having a terrible time removing this freewheel. The removal tool does not fit over the inner axle nut and removing the inner axel nut is proving to be a close to impossible task since you need to leverage against a second inner axel nut, but you cannot get your wench over the second inner axle nut because the freewheel covers it.

I used this on a Flying Pigeon PA-02, replacing the stock 18T freewheel and dropping the gear-inches to make hitting the hills easier.

It went on perfectly, and runs without a hitch. The three locking pawls make for fast engagement, no more than maybe 5-8 degrees at the crank.

The ratcheting action of the three pawls is incredibly smooth. Unloaded my wheel will spin upwards of a minute with a single pedal stroke. Click-a-click-click.

No problems otherwise after 300-500 miles in a cold-dusty environment, and one full immersion in water. (whoops)

Buy sixthreezero Women's Classic Edition Beach Cruiser Bicycle, Dark

Customer Ratings:

I live in southeastern Massachusetts and use this bike mostly for my one mile commute on irregular terrain to the train station. Because I'm riding on country roads, gravel and grass that vary from gritty to sandy to wet to slushy (depending on the season) I needed a good, durable and comfortable bike with easy handling. This bike fits the bill. Besides being a classy looking ride, I can also wear skirts and other work clothes while riding it and not worry about them getting dirty!

I would agree with a previous reviewer that the seat does squeak at times and requires a lot of finagling to get into the sweet spot. It felt great once I got it there!

Although this bike is a little bit darker in color than we had originally expected, we have been very pleased with both the quality and durability of the bike itself. Very sturdy frame, soft seat and custom sitching on both seat & handle bars leaves little room for improvement. We would recommend this bike to anyone seeking a smooth ride combined with style and quality.

It was both packaged in great quality and delivered in a timely manner.

I bought this bike a while back from Beach Bikes in San Diego...and it is SO great! I love the color combination. I thought I was only gonna be able to afford a used bike with my budget, but this bike worked out way better. It's a nice-looking, comfortable, cute bike for a really good price. I don't ride it on the beach much, but it's perfect for my Saturday afternoon city bike rides! Totally recommend!

Honest reviews on sixthreezero Women's Classic Edition Beach Cruiser Bicycle, Dark

When we decided it was time to retire our mountain bikes, we knew beach cruisers were going to be the perfect choice! I absolutely LOVE my classic looking SixThreeZero! The color scheme made this one an easy choice for me but I also loved the wider seat and other perks that this cruiser was designed with. The 3 speeds are very helpful for long rides on the beach for when the wind varies and my legs get a little tired! I have taken my cruiser several times to the beach since purchasing it and I am so glad I made this choice! Choosing my cruiser was not going to be an impulse decision so I searched and reviewed many different bikes. Besides looking classic and unique, it is a very well made product! I know I absolutely made the right choice and would highly recommend a SixThreeZero! But don't ya just love this blue one??? :)

Review of Classic Flyer by Kettler 12" Retro Trike

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $99.99

Today's Bonus: 38% Off

The trike is wonderful. My only complaint is that it is difficult to keep the handlebars tight and they want to swivel without moving the front wheel fork. Teflon tape solved the problem for us

Click Here For Most Helpful Customer Reviews >>

This is a generally high quality tricycle. Unfortunately upon opening the box, we were missing a couple of parts. Also important to know is that for some reason, the company elected to put the bolts, washers and locking nuts in the position where they would eventually be used rather than in the parts bag. This made no sense to me, but I happened to find them.

We have a tall 2 year old and this tricycle is too big for him right now. I would recommend a 10" if your child isn't at least 2.5 years old.

Outside of that, the tricycle is of high quality and will be well used for us in the near future.

I bought this for my 3 yr old b/c it was on sale and I only paid 27.54. That is about how much its worth. While it looks really good both in picture and in person, the build quality is poor.

1) this thing is heavy! I have no idea why the manufacturer chose this material instead of something lighter.

2) while the assembly is fairly easy and there are few parts, the fastening mechanisms are crude. For example, where the handlebar attaches to the frame, the clamp is of a poor design and loosen easily, even after repeated tightening. OK for use by my daughter but easily turned (misaligned) by some of the older kids in the neighborhood.

3) Poor wheel design. The wheels feel loose as the axle does not ride smoothly in the axle tube. This goes the same for the fronts as well. Using bearings or even better plastic bushings would've helped

Overall, the quality of the tricycle is poor. For what I paid, I'm ok with it but for the listed $75, look elsewhere.

Honest reviews on Classic Flyer by Kettler 12" Retro Trike

I want to tell anybody reading this that this is a great tricycle. It is of a strong, almost only metal construction. My only concern concerning construction is the fork for the front wheel. The last inch or so of the fork on both sides is plastic. I can see the purpose of it (a bushing for the shaft of the front wheel), but I would think that there would be a way to make it of metal construction and put a plastic bushing inside the metal construction. In spite of that, I feel this trike is a good choice, far better, of course, than any of those plastic things that they call tricycles. This trike is well strong enough for me (160 pounds) to step on the rear deck and ride there. I almost feel comfortable (concerning durability) to sit down on the seat. It's only the front plastic forks that concern me there.

As a summary, this is it. If you are looking for a strong, sturdy trike that will last and not tip easily, you have got to get one of these, a Classic Flyer made by Kettler.

When we received the trike I really thought I had bought the radio flyer brand and my husband was all ready to return it, however, our son had such a fit because he saw the picture of the bike on the outside of the package that he relented and decided to put it together. We were not disappointed! My mother had accidentally backed over our son's previous bike which was a radio flyer so I know the quality and this is just as good. Our son zooms around on his bike and just loves it! So as long as he's happy and this bike lasts a long time, we're happy.

Cheap Critical Cycles Fixed Gear Single Speed Fixie Urban Road Bike

Customer Ratings:

This is an unboxing and look at a critical cycles bike. I got the Medium (53cm) in Black & White. It took about 50 minutes to unbox and put together.

I don't pretend to be a bike expert so I wouldn't call this a review, but you can take a look for yourself. My conclusion is that it's a great bike for the price and I just hope nobody steals it down here at ASU.

FOR A HIGHER QUALITY VERSION, WATCH ON YOUTUBE: [search "critical cycle unboxing", video by Mike Bylund]

Click Here For Most Helpful Customer Reviews >>

I purchased the white and black colors for this bike in medium. Going in order:

Shipment/Receiving:

The bike was shipped very well. At first sight you would think the box would way a ton, but it wasn't bad at all. Almost everything was zip-tied to the bike frame which ensured every party would be in the box. There was sufficient light foam padding and cardboard around the parts of the bike that needed it. It was also packed neatly and organized. Everything was in the box, but i have read some of the reviews stating they were missing a few parts here and there.

Build:

I'm no bike expert, but i do know how to maintain and change things on my bikes so the build wasn't bad at all for me considering the bike was practically built already. So, i had my brother build it (who knows barely anything about bikes except for ride and stop). He built it perfectly fine with the tools provided and without instructions, however there is a video online instructing you how to do it should you need it. As stated before, the bike is practically all built. But here is a short list of what you need to put on:

-Front tire

-Handle bar

-pedals

-seat

-Re-install rear wheel (The bike comes fixed, so if you want to use it as a single speed, you need to flip the wheel. Make sure to align it correctly and what not, if you are lost, i suggest youtube or just google)

-your love (yes, love. If you're going to ride it, better love it. No cheating ;))

That's about it. So, pretty much, if you're a college student and are short on tools, everything you need is in the box. The building process should not be difficult at all unless you're missing a part and have minimal knowledge on bikes (as in how do you ride a bike).

***The tires do smell though, chemical-ly smell, so i would build the bike outside. Febreze couldn't even save my room :/ ***

The Ride:

For a $200.00 bike, this wasn't bad at all. It's light, nimble and easy to ride. I had zero if not, little problems with the bike. Maybe a little squeaking but a little grease fixed that. Nothing major like a wheel flying off, or threads getting shaved. For sure though, if you want to do some tricks, this bike isn't really for that. For one, you need to remove the brakes if you do (at least for me, due to the cable running to the rear brake) and two, the feel just wasn't there. Maybe it's the handlebars (a little too narrow for my taste). All personal preference though.

Conclusion/Longevity:

So, i've put some miles on this bike and some things to take note on that you might want to keep in mind:

The bike is made mainly of cheap parts. That's not to say it will brake down on you while riding piece by piece until your ass is scraping the ground. It just means cheap.

-An example would be, definitely, the brakes and tires. I wore out the brakes VERY quickly. I'm not even a brake whore and those guys were FLAT. So if you get this bike, have some replacements on hand because you will need it.

-The tires were bad from the start. I could feel the vinyl/plastic feel on them when putting on the front wheel and knew it wouldn't last. I put, maybe, 15 miles at most on the tires and they were gone. As in, baldDoctor Evil bald. In addition, when i first air'd the tires up, the rear wheel became warped (i didn't even sit on the bike yet).

-Brake lever, i think someone posted up a picture of the brake lever being broken. This didn't happen to me, but i can see it happening.

-Pedals are plastic, but i'm not complaining. I see why they went with them, in terms of cost.

-Grips weren't too bad either. They haven't given me any blisters or anything but then again, i have pretty tough hands. I will be changing them, however.

-Rims aren't the best, but they aren't horrible either. If you are ridding casually, these are good.

The bike is what you pay for. For $200, you can't expect top of the line. There are things you need to replace and change, but keep in mind, for the price, what did you expect? Right out the box, this is a great casual riding bicycle for those who want a pretty low maintenance bike or one that they don't mind getting stolen (still buy a good lock though! money is money). Do i regret the purchase, meh. Could i or you get a better bike, yes. For a little more, you could get a better bike, one that has better parts, has more of a name but that's entirely up to you and your budget. I know a lot of people are probably torn between this and a Vilano or a cheap Schwinn; If you want drop down bars, bullhorns or risers, obviously go for the other brands. i personally don't like the BMX style but figured i'd try them out anyways; no bueno. If you're trying to decide between this and an SE or purefix, what the heck are you doing looking at this.... pretty big price difference by about $100.

I can go further, but i'm getting carpal tunnel from this super long review. Overall, not bad, but like others said, you can get better. I'm content with this bike. It's not one that i would cry about if it got stolen, but i'd still be sad. Many other brands are coming out with the flip hubs, so if that's your main buying point, don't base it on just that. Do some research and thinking. Stop buy your local shop and test some bikes out. I wanted a cheap, fun riding bike for college and don't want to take and expensive one (of course), which is why i bought the cheapest i could find :)

Ask yourself:

How much am i willing to spend? What kind of bars do i want? Do i want to ride single or fixed? Do i want 2 brakes or am i happy with 1 or none at all? Will i do tricks? Will i look beautiful on this bike? Will i get any ladies (meh. everyone rides one now)?

thank you, i'm going to go eat now.

Best Deals for Critical Cycles Fixed Gear Single Speed Fixie Urban Road Bike

Single Handedly the best single-speed bicycle in this price range with

fantastic components, A+ packaging, and amazing color options.

Flip Flop Hub: This gives you the option to ride fixed or freewheel and very easy to switch from one to the other. I like riding fixed-gear personally, but it can get really tiring because your feet are moving a lot, so sometimes I switch to freewheel and then it rides like a normal cruiser.

Tires: Really good quality. I've put a good 100 city miles on mine.

Many pot holes, cracks, curbs, skids, bar-spins, no problems at all.

Frame: The frame can bar spin and there is no toe overlap. The geometry is perfect, and the frame is surprisingly light for this price range. I've paid over $500 for my last fixie which was heavier.

Handlebars: It's my first time having BMX style handlebars and I am really happy with them. I actually prefer them by far for city riding

because they come a little bit higher so I'm not leaned forward as much. Way more comfortable, and it makes my bars-pins really easy.

Seat: Pretty comfortable. It's a little stiff, but it's in a good way.

Sticker: It's removable, but I like it.

Toe Clips: They handle really well, but I prefer Velcro straps personally.

Gear Ratio: 48:16... it's perfect for the city

Assembly and Packaging: This thing was packed to endure any kind of

impact. Cardboard, Styrofoam, zip ties, etc. Really impressive. They

obviously knew what they were doing. It comes mostly assembled other

than handlebars, front wheel, and pedals. As with any bike make sure

to check the tightness of all the parts before riding.

Tools: It's a nice touch that they include all tools you need (allen key set and crescent wrench). I already had a set, but now I keep this set in my backpack for when I'm riding. They are very portable and light.

Bottom Line: I was between this and something $150 more and I'm really happy I chose this. I rode it in to my local bike shop when I bought a

lock and they couldn't believe the price. Needless to say, it's a great value and don't let the price fool you. I look forward to seeing

more Critical bikes come out in the future because I would love to see an affordable road bike or mountain bike from them. This is one of the best online purchases I've ever made.

Honest reviews on Critical Cycles Fixed Gear Single Speed Fixie Urban Road Bike

I've had a metric F!@#ton of bikes over the years all of varying quality and price. This bike, straight up is a stellar deal. I bought it for this pub pedal thing we do here in Kansas City, it's this thing where you get wasted and ride around to local bars. I lost my job a few months prior and sold my super badass Specialized 29er, the previous year at the pub pedal I had the most badass bike. That meant a lot to me. Well this years pub pedal snuck up on my bikeless ass and I had to act quick. I search amazon because I knew I could get something shipped quick with Prime Took a chance with this cheap-ass bike. Here are the details. When it arrived on my door I immediately posted a picture of it on Instagram. That last sentence has no relevance in this review, I just wanted to tell you. Anyway, I pulled the big ass bike into my apartment thinking "damn, this s*** got here in 2 days and it's boxed up all nice, and it was only 220 dollars?! This thing has got to suck big time. Cracked the box open expecting a Krylon paintjob and an overwhelming whiff of Chinese air. To the contrary the paint on the bike looked great and the inside of the box smelled like America. I put the bike together with this magic tool they provide you with that's just good enough to put a bike together and not quite bad enough to use to bash your face in with because you're expected to put a bike together with a 5" long 1/8" thick piece of metal they somehow crammed 16 tools into. Once this bitch was together I rode a wheelie over my girlfriends face while singing the national anthem. She dumped me but this bike still rules. Just buy it you loser, you only have 250 bucks and the price is right. Damn.

I'll start this review from the beginning.

Originally, I saw this bike for sale on a groupon deal for $199 with free shipping. It sold out quick and i was unable to place an order in time.

After a quick google search i found the bike on Amazon for $225 and even though it had zero reviews at the time, i took a gamble and purchased the bike.

I signed up for the amazon credit card and was given a $50 gift card. So in total i ended up paying $175 which was a great deal.

Amazon was very fast with shipping and i had this bike arrive at my house within 3 days.

The bike was well packaged and it took me about 10 minutes to get everything open and out of the box.

To my shock i noticed this bike came with NO paper instructions.

I'm new to bike riding and had never built a bike before so was pretty disappointed in not having normal instructions. After a few minutes i noticed it said on the box that we can visit some website for some type of video instructions. This was pretty silly in my opinion. For one the bicycle in the video was NOT this bike. It was a similar bike but it clearly was a different manufacturer and i noticed minor differences.

The video instructions are inconvenient. My computer is up three flights of stairs and I put the bike together in my backyard. So, to summarize the computer instructions were basically worthless. I don't understand why the company can't bring out some simple instructions.

Anyways, putting the bike together even without instructions wasn't that hard. I was able to figure out how to do it and a lot of it was common sense. I can imagine other people might be a bit confused though.

After all was done i noticed that the bike came with a MISSING part.

My bike seat clamp didn't come with any type of bolt to attach the seat to the bike.

I'm 110 percent sure they did not give me a seat bolt. I looked at all the parts after i took them out of the box and no bolt was ever given.

So, after putting the bike together i was unable to attach the seat due to a missing part.

Critical cycles has no website and it wasn't easy to get in touch with them.

I sent them an email and they replied FOUR days later. This is the reply i got.

"The bolt is in the accessory box. If you need a replacement you should be able to get one for free from your local bike shop"

There was no apology or anything given.

I replied to the email asking if they could inform me on the size of the bolt so i could purchase one.

They DIDN'T reply to my email at all which was unprofessional in my opinion and earned them a negative review.

Eventually, i took the seat clap to a hardware store and just tested different bolts until i found one that fit. I had to test over a dozen of them before i found the size which was annoying.

Finally, i was able to get the bike together and was ready to ride it.

One thing i noticed was the bike didn't come with any type of reflector on the front or back. It's illegal in my state to ride without any reflectors. So, i had to purchase my own, which wasn't a big deal, but i assumed most bikes usually come with them.

After getting everything handled on the bike I've been riding it for two months now.

It's a pretty decent bike. Very light weight, brakes are good, seat is stiff but comfortable (would prefer it was softer though), so far no issues with the tires.

I got the bike in matte black and i must admit the paint does scratch very easily. Bike has a few scratches from when i installed things. (and i was careful) Overall, the bike looks really nice though.

At the end of the day though it rides very nice especially for the price.

If it wasn't for the missing part, no instructions, and poor support from Critical Cycles, i would have probably given it more stars.

Amazon on another hand offered amazing support. Once i informed them of the missing part they refunded me 25 dollars. So, i got 50 dollars off signing up for an amazon gift card, and another 25 off for the missing part

Luckily, i paid 150 bucks for the bike at the end of it!

Cliffs for my review

Fast shipping

Well packaged

Came with no paper instructions

Came with missing seat bolt

Critical cycles responded once after 4 days. Ignored my follow up email afterwards

Amazon refunded me 25 dollars

Bike itself is pretty good quality for the price (Light, looks good, tires are holding up, nice brakes)

It doesn't come with reflector lights which is worth nothing if you live in a state that requires them.

The tires I got are a light gray color as oppose to the darker gray shown in the picture. I do not have any black marks left behind as someone else said. They feel great, I had bald tires before and I could tell a difference the moment I sat in the chair from putting the new ones on. They might be better quality than my old ones. Love them!!
