Mongoose Dolomite Mens Fat Tire Mountain Bike, 26-Inch Wheels, 4-Inch Wide Knobby Tires, 7-Speed, Steel Frame, Front and Rear Brakes, Multiple Colors

My girlfriend wants to ride it all the time so I bought another one

As a kid I used to take my bikes completely apart, paint them and then reassemble them. I learned a lot about how to dismantle and reassemble bicycles. This bike came mostly assembled besides the front tire, handle bars and seat. Handle bars were actually attached to the cables for the gear shifter and the brakes. First off, the instructions, for the novice, don't really give you everything you need when assembling this bike. I went off childhood prior knowledge. It took maybe 15 minutes to get it completely assembled, aside from me not being able to read the word "rear" on the forks when assembling that portion of the bike. Quick fix though, removed the handle bars, spun the goose neck and reinstalled the handlebars. FIXED! Filled the tires to the recommended 20psi. To get the seat to stay in place (I'm a bigger guy - 6'2" about 265) I had to tighten the little paddle tightener down a little tighter then expected. Hoped on the bike and away I went. 20 minutes out of the box and I was riding it. I had to adjust the braking systems to work properly as they are installed but not tuned. I may have to slightly adjust the shifter as it will push the chain completely off the sprocket when I shift into 7th and push the shifter all the way forward. Not a big deal, just needs a quick tune. Immediately took it on a 6 mile ride, roads, sand, back woods and it performed excellent for me. I am not a professional biker, I do not go flying through the woods to get my adrenaline fix. I'm also older so I like a good workout but not an adrenaline rush. This book works perfect for exactly what I needed it to do. Since I did just receive this bike if any unpleasant updates come along I'll update them here. Currently it's a really nice looking bike and rides really well. OH, and it's a little heavier then your expensive titanium or aluminum or whatever bikes. You'll know you have something sturdy when you try to pick this thing up. It's heavy duty. So far I would recommend this to anyone that loves to ride and also loves the idea of having a wide track when riding through sand, mud, dirt or snow.

Still works great had to replace front tire tube only.

Bought this bike simply for the price, just getting into the sport and didn’t want to pay over $1000 from a local bike shop for something I may not like.I had a mongoose BmX back in the late nineties and it was pretty solid so I figured why not. Turns out this thing is super solid! Only a few minor issues. I Had to adjust both brakes, crank and front axle bearings were way too tight so I took the time to adjust everything properly. But all in all very happy with it. If you plan on doing some serious off roading, fenders are highly recommended. If not you’ll get covered those huge tires kick up a lot of debris at high speeds.

Easy to ensamble, easy to ride, works pretty fine so far. Quality vs price relation so good.
