Genesis 72950 29" Incline Men's Bike, Black/Yellow

TO ALL THEY NEY SAYERS….You must have some mechanical ability to properly assemble the front wheel and adjust the front disc brake. The front brake MUST be removed to install the wheel. Then the brake assy needs to be adjusted and reinstalled. This is why so many people commented that the forks were bent. They weren’t! The derailleurs need to be properly adjusted for proper gear changes, which was ver simple and quick. I just assembled my bike today, rode it for about a mile, and EVERYTHING is working correctly so far. I’m a little over 5’11”, if I was an inch shorter, this bike would be too big for me, but I am very comfortable on it.

This is a real big boy bike for a very big boy. I have a Genesis V2100 26" and this thing is humongous compared to it. First things first, this was probably the first bike in a box that was halfway assembled properly. The front derailleur didn't even need a touch, the rear derailleur less than half a turn to center the chain on each gear perfectly. Yes I had to adjust the front disk brake caliper, big deal loosen the 2 Allen key bolts that hold the caliper onto the bracket, hold the brake lever while tightening up the Allen key bolts, bingo caliper is centered on rotor. The brakes needed adjustment, but the brake shoes on the rear wheel were actually on correctly (wow blew my mind, didn't need to move them around to properly seat on the rim, they were perfectly aligned). Everything was easy to adjust and nothing was stripped. Don't fool yourself, this bike is meant for casual riding on the road and very light trails, but the ride is awesome like a Cadillac Fleetwood. For the youngsters out there, a Fleetwood was a Cadillac that is 1.5 times the size of a modern CT6. If you are looking for a nice riding bike to ride around on the road and the occasional light trail than this is the bike for you.
