I agree for the money first of all they should have better pedals hydraulic brakes knock off wheels I didn't even see the shifter I'm going to watch it again
Not all bikes sold by Wal-Mart are bad. Ozark Trail, Kent, Giordano, and Mongoose have made good bikes that are upgradable. It’s more of staying away from the in house brands like that Hyper.
Walmart does not make hyper bikes and all bikes no matter the name are made to be sold at walmart, like Mongoose is not the same Mongoose as it used to be and TBH A Schwinn from walmart would be a better bet than a Mongoose unless you can find an Ardor , the frames they sell at walmart are not made to be beat on like a frame or bike bought at a Real bike shop, Don’t house wonder why a Real bike shop doesn’t carry the walmart brands? Because a real bike shop wouldn’t stand by the quaint of walmart bikes
@northwestmountainbikeaddic6874 I'd never recommend a Walmart Bike to anyone. However, I really like my Columbia Rambler Klunker I picked up a few years back. Check out my videos with that bike.. But, I definitely wouldn't recommend it to someone new to cycling.
@@chaotic2insanity those bikes brands are all made by a company called pacific cycles. Hyper islittertly mongoose. The one who made this comment is very correct if you ride like at least 5 miles a day you'll outride those bikes quickly. The new g1 is so cheap its worth it but a ridge or trouville isn't. I spent 1200 upgrading a ledge and it never shifted correctly, only to find out the bike was welded together crooked. Kev central has created a niche for upgrading Walmart bikes and Walmart is filling that niche to make money. Theyrejunk frames with junk components, with better components the frame becomes the weak point. My problem is the price jf the bikes were all 200 bucks okay but they want to much for a Walmart bike. Geton a bike from a local bike shop any brand, it feels so much more solid and stable
@@destroystreets1023 it’s a hit or miss with those bikes from the big box stores. Quality has lacked on some of the well known brands too and if I remember some have had recalls. Shimano had that 105/Ultegra quality control issue where the cranks were breaking mid ride. The only plus side to buying from a local bike shop is the in house mechanic that can catch things before it’s displayed on the shop floor. Also that the well known brands offer a 5-10 year warranty on the frame. I’m more of a direct to consumer guy currently ride on a Polygon Strattos S5 disc road bike. I rode a few Treks, Gary Fisher, Motobecane and a mongoose. They all feel the same or more so on the uneven surfaces, bumps, and so on. It just takes one good crash and the bikes are toast regardless of brand. I am still searching for the unicorn of bikes…
