Schwinn Protocol 1.0 Men's Dual-Suspension Mountain Bike (26-Inch Wheels)

CUSTOMER REVIEW



I bought this bike because it has great qualities for cheap. I knew that for the price that there had to be some things wrong with it, but I wanted the important features to be good. This is a very sturdy bike and I have had a great time riding it. For the cost, there is no bike better. I paid 278 on amazon with free shipping and everything. The bike is very easy to put together. I do suggest you get it tuned by a professional, however, because it took me a long time to tinker with the settings to make it run smoothly. I am very happy with everything about this bike, but there are a few things that may go undescribed.



1-The wheels are of very poor quality. The rubber seems really fake and if you are on concrete they skid out easily and leave a lot of rubber behind.



2-There is no place to put a water bottle holder or a hand pump. The rear suspension connects to the bottom bar of the frame and just under the top bar are the cables so there is no place to store a bottle or pump.



3-The front fork and suspension are difficult to adjust. (I havent been able to adjust the suspension yet)



4-Tuning involved: front and rear derailleurs, brakes, straightening the disc break, wheel adjustment.



I am giving the negatives because they are not described by anyone else and they are important to know, but I cant describe how happy I am with the bike. I am 6'0" and it fits me very well. The parts are very durable and when you get everything tuned up nicely, the bike runs just fine!



I HIGHLY suggest this bike to anyone who is looking for a deal on a mountain bike.
