how crappy of a bike do i have

[sharkboy]

all i know about it is its a (goose) and its full sup with disk brakes i thank its the best one walmart sells i bought it off of a guy that needed money but i was just wondering how fast is it going to be junk

[LeeMcGough]

Safe to say that if it was purchased at Wal-Mart, it was crappy before it was even boxed up to get shipped over from China. Sorry. Wear a helmet. You never know when (ie.) it the headtube will separate from the frame.

You have it so ride it. Enjoy it. I wouldn't really recommend any big tricks, drops or anything overly strenuous. Unless you want to see how fast you can trash it. Treat it like the delicate machine it is, and you might milk a tame but slightly longer life out of it.

Start saving your pennies for the next bike....just in case.

Sharkboy, nice that you helped a fellow out, but, a goose is a goose and it is what it is.:( Like Rockstar said, just take it easy with it and it may last you a while longer. I dare say most of ride fairly high dollar bikes b/c that's our passion in life--ridin' our rides. :D Save those pennies and one day you'll have a super sweet ride too. Good luck and ride safe.:)

visit a few shops, find a guy or girl you relate to and build a relationship with said person.

save your money purchase a good bike and helmet, then maybe even ride with the shop people.

in the meantime just ride what you have and enjoy it.

by the way, don't be too hard on the old lady and dog, you never know when something will happen and they won't be there anymore. how about some flowers for the pretty lady and a walk and biscuit for the dog, while you are at it show the truck some love too and wash it.:D

...don't be too hard on the old lady and dog, you never know when something will happen and they won't be there anymore.

Ah this is soo true. And usually learned with much pain.

I ride my bike hard, and sometimes put her away wet (and dirty ;) but the advice above does apply to the bike too.
Most times I pamper her like she deserves. She's a princess on the trail, and a whore on the down hills...
the bike that is. :)

have fun with it while it lasts. it sounds like people are telling you to baby it, which wont' be much fun. i wouldn't do (er, i mean reccomend doing) anything too dangerous on it incase it breaks, but i wouldn't avoid having fun on it either. it's a bike, have fun with it.

besides, it can't be any worse than this bike, and that thing was a hell of a lot of fun. just wear a helmet and avoid riding near cliffs

Everyone has to start somewhere. Most start with a cheap bike to see if they like riding. I started with a K-mart Huffy many years ago. I had fun and moved on through many bikes since. Enjoy it, don't waste any money on repairs or upgrades. Get a better bike when you can.

[althegud1srtakn]

cheap bikes are nice in some ways too as a started bike if you're interested in doing your own repairs. i started out on a pacific scorpio a long time ago, and figured out how limit screws work, how to adjust my brakes and derailleurs and ll that good stuff. it's good to learn on a bike that's not gonna cost you several hundred to replace one broken part
