Reviews
Below are some critical reviews about Redline BMX Bicycles Bikes Sqb 26 BikeThe bike is fantastic... The chain is downright dangerous.So I bought a used late 80's RL20-b as a kid. It was the first bike I ever built, the only childhood bike I truly loved, and the only bike that was ever stolen from me. I've never forgotten it, and always wanted another. Recently one came up on CL... I was really tempted to build another like my first, but being 6'2", and 35 years old, I thought I should look for a more practical ride...The Redline Sqb-26 did not disappoint. It rides like a true bmx. It feels smooth, rides terrific, and sounds fantastic. I did however change out the pedals, because I find Odyssey Triple Traps more comfortable to ride with Vans.The ONE downfall is the chain. A week into riding her, there were two loud bangs about a half second apart. I came to find it was two consecutive links in the chain detonating. I wasn't really pushing the bike at the time, and the chain tension was perfect. Luckily the chain held together by the inside links, or I likely would've been hurt pretty bad. I upgraded to an Izumi Jet Black, and I'm now back to riding... If you buy this, I very much recommend replacing it before riding. For around 20 bucks, you can pick up a stronger chain, and a decent chain tool. The internet has tons of videos on how to do it, and it's only a few minute job.I hated to take a star off this near perfect bike, but the chain quality is just terrible. Otherwise the bike is gorgeous, and one day if I can ever come up with spare money for another, I'd love to pick up a PL-26 to park next to it.
Nice bike!Fits like a BMX did when I was a kid. Took 15 min to finish the assembly. Rode for a quick 6 mile ride with minimal chain slack adjustment. Rode smooth, good quality, the cranks it comes with were sought after in my neighborhood growing up.Definitely my new go to bike for neighborhood rides and goofing around when I don't feel like going to a trail with the MTB bike. Looks way more natural riding than rockin my old 20" bikes around town.
The bike is absolutely everything I expected, BUT at the warehouse somewhere a mouse made a nest in the box and chewed the seat pretty bad... For $599 I sure hope they can send me another seat for free... This would have been 5 stars except for the seat being chewed and having to clean up all the mouse urine and poo...
