BarHugger Posted October 8, 2013 Share I personally have no problem with the brand ,weight of bike...think supermarketbikeboy proved that on pinkbike..its not the bike its the rider.But when its setup backwards to the components intended use .. then it just becomes more dangerous then it has to be.and that 30 kilo bike hitting you in the back of the head when you scorpion, will be your own fault. Shops selling these type of bikes should be taken to the cleaners. Not only is the quality of the bike questionable, the basic set-up is a safety concern. Bottle cages attached on the downtube at the bottom just in front of the BB will be a problem for any novice. Saw a lady do an OTB and coming down hard during a Red Stone 10km fun ride when she tried to remove the bottle. Caerus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"It's not about the bike" Yeah, listen to the "oracle of cycling" (Mr L.A.) for the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gummibear Posted October 8, 2013 Share I think its funny because the majority of us here made similar mistakes with our very first bikes! (If we are honest) At least he was able to sell it on to a person who will be able to use it. One of my colleagues bought a similar bike for her son, it was impossible for him to ride! They knew I was a cyclist and asked me to have a look at it. Wheels needed truing, in fact I almost had to rebuild the wheels. Hubs were so tight I was amazed the wheels turned. V-Brakes had so many washers in, they had been put on incorrectly. It was a challenge for me to get it running! And the weight! Crikey! It was heavier than any bicycle I have ever lifted.These bikes are mass produced for what I am guessing will be a neighbourhood run-around. Its an easy mistake to make buying it from Sportsmans as they have plenty other good products.@Andyr249, not so long ago I was in a Cash Crusaders looking for a hidden gem and I stumbled across a similar mountain bike to the one being discussed here. I was amazed when I read the branding, it was a HUNTER mountain bike. I went in for a closer look and the head-tube insignia was "RH" and then I spotted the sticker on the top tube that said "proudly endorsed by Robbie Hunter", I was amazed! Now, the graphics and decals were expertly done, so there is no way it was an aftermarket application. At the time I wanted to take a picture and post it here on the Hub for discussion, but thought better of it in case it transpired into an argument. Does anyone here know the background on these HUNTER bikes?(Please dont misunderstand me, I am not mocking Robbie Hunter here) http://durban.olx.co.za/robbie-hunter-26inch-bike-uses-once-iid-546426131 Daideron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sani Posted October 8, 2013 Share These bikes at Game and Pick and Pay and this one on the thread are not even good enough to ride around the block neither giving it to someone to commute to work or school , They are terrible ask Me , I had to fix My Gardeners bike every damn weekend .Some usefull tips and solutions to someone who owns one :hahaha Problems and solutions 1) Crank arms comes loose Take it to a welder and weld it to the BB 2) Head set unscrews on short ridesRemove the bolt , put it in a vice and damage the threads , now screw it back . It will go in tighter but that's normal , it will take a long time to loosen up now as the threads are damaged 3)Seat post adjusts on its ownSame story , weld it to the frame or get a heavy duty hose clamp to double clamp it 4) Pedals slides out the shaft ,Ride with shaft only 5) Wheels buckle for no reasonOpen up the brakes so the wheel clears 6) Not selecting gearsPut it in a comfortable gear that suits You ,and remove the shifter cables So the list carries on and on , rather save some more cash . There's some good buys on the Hub . RockCoach 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baaisikilist Posted October 8, 2013 Share I just hope the OP's friend does not come across this thread, cause he will have an equal opportunity to mock him..... for his linguistics. The OP is deaf...
