Bike looks good quality for the price, however I needed to remove the back wheel and change the tyre around so that the tread rotates in the right direction. It is not like the front where you can remove the wheel and replace. I WOULD STRONGLY RECOMEND ANYONE TO CHECK THIS BEFORE RIDING THE BIKE !!! (I'm somewhat amazed how it could leave the factory like this). If fitting a rack or mudguards you will find a little paint in the treads so just take care not to strip the thread.
I ordered this bike as it seemed to be quite good value. assembly was very easy and straight forward but after 5 minutes of riding the rear wheel dislodged and jarred against the frame. i assumed that i had not assembled it correctly but it happened two more times. the third time a mechanic friend fitted the wheel with his specialist tools but said it was unlikely to stay on as it had to be set too far forward in order for the wheel to be straight, this meant that the wheel bolt was near the edge of the frame and there was space between the bolt and the frame. unfortunately due to work committments i was unable to complain/ return it within the set time as i was only open to open the product after a month of recieving it which i know is my responsibility. i considered reselling it but there seems to be a big design flaw and it is just unsafe. oh well. thats money down the drain!!!
