  Bad Tubes

  This reviewer rated product 3 out of 5 stars.

  I just bought it for a Christmas present and the front tire would not hold air because the front tire had a tear in the inner tube right next to the valve. So I took it back to exchange and ALL OF THEM HAD THE SAME ISSUE. They all have bad CHEAP inner tubes. BUY GOOD ONES and you should be ok. 700x28C -35MM inner tubes not 700cx25 as Academy states all over the place. But over all the bike is great for the money! Remember it is cheap so some of it is "cheap".

  I purchased this bike online and had it assembled by a professional bike shop. I was really impressed by how it turned out. My daughter picked this bike out of a line of them in the store (because of the color). I was worried that it would be a piece of junk but it turned out to be a very decent little bike. The rear ended has no suspension and drops like a rock, but other than that, this is an awesome bike for riding short distances on and off road.

  We bought bikes for the 1st time in 20 years. We didn't want to invest too much in them because we weren't sure how much we would ride. We have had them 1 week and have ridden about 35 miles so far and we love them. We replaced the seats - they are quite hard - but otherwise they are perfect for what we want to do!!

  Bike arrived quickly, some of the packing failed, other than sticker on crank being scratched, no damage. I am 5' 10" and this bike is close to being too big. I like the benefit of the larger tire though. First bike in 25 years, so my first ride was only 1 mile round trip, did feel great overall. might look for a better feeling seat. Not lot of places to bolt on accessories the tubing is over sized and handle bars are narrow. Smooth shifting and even braking right out of the box.

  Bought the cruiser to get some exercise as I can't walk much of any distance. Was afraid a regular bike would be a problem because of my back. I can ride this for miles without stress and get some fresh air doing it. I am 74

  Got one of these for myself and love it! Just bought my husband one and we are happily loving every minute on them. We take them out every afternoon. We live in an RV resort and they are the perfect mode of transportation all over the resort.

  We bought this for our 7 yr old as a gift & he absolutely loves it! It spins and rides close to the ground. It would be ok for a little younger age as well and probably until they are about 8 or so. It has a brake on it and is very easy to spin (fun for littles). It seems to be made of pretty good quality material that will be durable. It has already produced hours of entertainment.

  Ordered online and it was exactly what I ordered and arrived in a timely manner. Only problem is that it was a gift from Santa that was shipped in the box with the picture of it on the side of it. Luckily my son went in thru the garage and I spotted it by the front door before he saw it.

  This bike I bought rode very well around the lake and managed to get me up some slopes perfectly. It was a little odd the gear got stuck on speed 6 but that was my fault that I won't give away. I had bought a first one and I played with the gear due to the fact I had not much experience with mountain bikes. Messing with the gear caused the pedals not to move my bike and bent the chain but again this was my doing. Overall this is a fantastical bike!!!!!!! I have a second one now.

  I was searching for a bike for the lowest price and I found this one I'm happy I did. When you bike this bike something's are cheap like the coil suspension front suspension and the rear and and from rim can get bent really easy so you want to upgrade as soon as possible also upgrade v brake they smoothe out really fast that's all other than that nice bike for a teen boy.

  Bought this bike because I'm 6' 6". It has a taller frame. It rides good and so far seems to be a quality bike for the money! I did also have to adjust the brakes and gears just a little. Other than that, can't go wrong with this GMC bike from Academy.

  The bike is a beautiful bike. But I will be returning it to exchange for another one because my daughter is fairly tall for her age 10, so she need a larger size bike for growth room. Other then that it is a beautiful bike.

  Great bike great value. You would be hard pressed to find better in this price range. Has put up with my abusive nature toward bikes tackling difficult trails, jumps, and drops. The seat was a little too wide for me and i changed it to maneuver my bike better. I broke the plastic pedals but all department stores bikes have plastic pedals and i break everyone of them. Replaced with a quility metal pair. Overall you will not find better in this price range. You may even have to pay hundreds more. ... read more Click to read full text of review titled "Best for money". This is a smart purchase.

  My mind was set to purchase a different bike from a competitor store. But decided to stop at AS and saw this Charcoal Grey/Bluish beauty and it was LOVE at 1st sight. Showed my wife and she wanted one too. Got her the girly version. We both were like teenagers....eager to get home and out on the our new bikes! Sweet Features included -- Very smooth braking with little effort -- 21 speed smooth quiet shifting gears -- Smooth transition kickstand -- Comfy quick release suspension seat; which ... read more Click to read full text of review titled "Schwinn Suburban AL -- Excellent Choice!". was a surprise as we didn't realize until riding -- quick release wheels -- front fork suspension. Purchased bike lights for night time riding and we've been playing with our new toys every other day/night (3-weeks now). We're having "CHiPs" flashbacks (showing my age). In my opinion, at $220, the value far exceed the price. I Almost bought a $300 bike that didn't have a kickstand, water bottle cage or reflectors from a competing store. We are sooooo glad we stumbled upon these bikes. We've received many complements about the style, build structure, color & cool look. Without hesitation, I would definitely purchase again if needed!! :) If you are looking at a $200-$400 bike, I strongly urge you to consider this jewel! Schwinn scored a HOMERUN with the Suburban AL. I have zero ties AS or Schwinn. I was not paid; I did not receive a discount for my review nor do I care about the sweepstakes. In fact this is my 2nd AS purchase in 5yrs. I am just a local consumer who appreciates exceptional quality; especially at a GREAT price! :)

  Incredible value for the money. A very lightweight, durable, fast and comfortable all-around hybrid/road bike. The thin profile 29" rims are very strong, and allow the rider to effortlessly speed up and maintain speed. Contoured handle grips keep your wrists in a more positive position and keeps them from getting sore. The best part of the bike = the shifters. Shimano automatic shifters, simple click and your bike changes gears, the switch is spring loaded and you can run through the gears ... read more Click to read full text of review titled "Champagne on a Beer Budget". sequentially very quickly. I have had my Schwinn Tourist for 7 years now, it is the predecessor to this Volare, same exact form and function with the Shimano gear shifters. I bought the Volare recently and gave my Tourist to my girlfriend so she can ride along with me, couldn't be happier!

  I've had it for over a year now and in the first month I T-boned a curb and bent the front fork in but still rideable. To my surprise the front wheel was not fazed in the least. I also like the narrow tires. I've been riding hybrid bikes for awhile now so it was a nice change to be able to ride faster with less effort. The downside of having it is the bike shops here don't like working on them because they take specialized tools for Schwinn. So I was told. I also liked the quick release on the ... read more Click to read full text of review titled "Love the RZ Fire shifters.". back wheel as well as the front. I might add that I was able to put a different front fork with shock absorbers. I'm not a fan of the rigid front fork being I ride on the sidewalk a lot. I need the cushion that the shock provides when coming off a curb.

  Grandson outgrew his 16” wheel training bike and this is a perfect size with some rom to grow. It seems to be built solid. The ability for him to still use the pedal brake and learn the handlebar brakes was a selling point for us. He picked it out with my help.

  I bought one about 3 weeks ago when first available at Academy. I find that it is quite nice to ride, and eliminates the bumps I used to be annoyed at - both the handlebars and the seat. I have ordered a handlebar post extension and look forward to riding in a more upright position. Overall - a joy to ride and the wider tires prevent digging into sand when I do get off pavement. I really like the clearance between front of the pedal at its most forward position and the back of the tire as ... read more Click to read full text of review titled "One Fine men's Bicycle". you turn. This one is engineered so as to not knock my foot off the pedal if I turn while pedaling. well designed overall - and I couldn't detect any areas to suggest improvements. excellent bicycle. definitely have recommended to friends. now looking at getting a similar model for my wife.
