Yes, my wife bought the bikes at Walmart for 140 a piece. Why would that make a difference? Walmart is just a distribution channel - they are not building the bike nor assembling the wheels/rims, which were the points of failure on the bikes. It's still a Sidewinder 2.6 Fs bike - aren't they all the same when they come from Schwinn? FYI - the specs listed for the bike:
Sizing Information:
Age Range: Adult (14 years and up)
Wheel Size: 26 inches
Key Features:
Schwinn hand-built steel frame
RST Omni 191 CL suspension fork
SRAM grip shift shifters
Shimano TY-32A front and Shimano TY-22-7 rear derailleurs
Shimano 13-28T 7-speed freewheel
Specs:
Frame: Schwinn ride-tuned steel frame with bend seat stays
Fork: RST Omni 191 suspension fork
Handlebar/Stem: MTB riser handlebar and Schwinn stem with 2-bolt faceplate
Shifters: SRAM grip shift shifters
Derailleurs: Shimano TY-32A front and Shimano TY-22-7 rear derailleurs
Brakes: Pro Max alloy front and rear linear pull brakes
Levers: Pro Max alloy 3-finger brake levers
Crank: Alloy 24t/34t/42t MTB crank
Freewheel: Shimano 7-speed 14-28T freewheel
Rims: 26" x 1.5" 36-spoke alloy black with ground sidewall anodized rims
Hubs: Front alloy quick-release
Tires: Schwinn 26" x 2" Black MTB tires
Seat: Men's Schwinn sport saddle
The purpose of a board like this is to offer your honest opinion for why you are happy or unhappy with a product. We paid a decent amount of money for products which failed with VERY little use, in a fairly quick time period. Don't try and justify poor quality in a BIKE by the fact it was purchased at Walmart.

did you purchase the bike at WalMart? Yeah, don't ever do that...
This review would be more helpful if you add some info on the various aspects of the bike and components to your unfortunate experience with it.
If you revise, please email the link so we can all revisit and rerate.
Thanks
