Schwinn Prelude Men's Road Bike (700c Wheels) Review

Schwinn

This was my first actual bike after a number of years being on a crappy walmart bike that ended up falling apart while riding it. Anyways, being that this is my first road bike, I'm not going to be a very good judge of everything, but this bike seems to definentally be worth the 0 I have invested in it. It looks great and goes fast for costing as little as it does. People had mentioned making sure to go and get your bike tuned right off the bat which would be a very good idea, but what I ended up doing was just watching a bunch of youtube videos to figure out how to do it myself. After watching those, I was able to tune the bike myself fairly easily and for free since I already had the tools available. I think that watching those videos also helped with installing the front brake caliper since you get to see how it should work on other bikes and other people mentioned having trouble figuring out how to put it on. I have already encountered the problem of getting flats and happened to have both tires go flat on one of my first bike rides. I think it is more attributed to me going over a bump to fast, but noticed when I took the old tubes out that they had been pinched by the tire. I would recommend just making sure that the tube is correctly put into the tire and wheel assembly so you don't have to "flintsone" your bike home. Overall, a great bike for the amount of money that it costs. I am sure that you could get a better bike by spending 0, but for what it's worth, I'm just going to stick with this bike.
