Reviews
Below are some critical reviews about Merax Aluminum 24 Speed Mountain LightweightThe bike was not easy for an amateur like me to assemble. The front fork was too wide for the wheel to fit properly. I ended up taking the bike to a bike shop and paid $72 to have it assembled. not too happy about that. Second, I thought I had ordered a 24" bike, not a 26" one. I am only 5'6" tall and the 26" is a little tall for me.
Below are some positive reviews about Merax Aluminum 24 Speed Mountain Lightweight
This bike is advertised as fitting 5'10" to 6'2" and 330 pounds which is a good range. It does not explain that the handle bar height is not adjustable and I had to buy a three inch aftermarket riser for $15. Be advised that if the riser is more than about 3 inches, you may need new cables as well.The bike comes 85% assembled and you have to install the seat, foot pedals, handle bars (cables already installed) and front tire, none of which is a major project.I did find the rear brake rubbing and the derailleurs needing alignment so I had to take it to a bike shop.The bike is attractive in terms of paint colors, etc. I did replace the seat ($25 so not a major cost issue) based upon my personal preference given the original although nice and attractive, was narrow and was quite firm.Overall it rides nicely but it may have been a better decision for me personally (had not been on a bike for years) to go to a professional bike shop for appropriate fitting and to provide warranty or other repairs/adjustments locally.The company has been very responsive on the internet when I had questions. The cost of adjustments needed at a local bike shop were covered by the company.
If you're looking for a bike for fun rides, this is a great bike. It has good equipment for the money. It was easy for me to get this bike to fit the way I ride.
Perfect for my 9 year old who loves to ride bikes. He's about four foot six. This has everything that you need: trigger shifters which are easy to use, disc brakes and is relatively light.
