| joshengman's Full Review: Schwinn Sidewinder 2.6 FS 26-Inch Mens' All-Terrai... |
I bought this bike about a month ago at Walmart. I actually bought two of them (one for my parent's house).
After the third day of riding, the handlebar came loose. I tightened it right away, but it regularly comes loose. The handlebar pads became disheveled after about 1 week of riding.
The seat started having problems after 3 weeks of riding. Also, the front tire became wobbly... I wasn't able to find a way to fix it.
Today, the bolt that holds the back tire in place appears to have separated in two.
I ride this bike on bike trails to and from work. I don't ride it rough or off road or long distances.
Schwinn claims it's under warranty, but their warranty doesn't cover labor? lol.
I buy a new bike each year because it's cheaper than owning a car; this year, I have to buy two, because this bike is a pile of garbage.
Nothing against schwinn... I've owned plenty of Schwinns before without problems. There's something wrong with the quality of the sidewinder.
