  Bad Tubes

  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.

  I bought this bike about three weeks ago. It's a starter bike for me, so I knew I wasn't getting "high end". I do mostly paved trail riding, with a little off-road. I've ridden about 45 miles on it, and I already need to replace the brakes. Other than that, I'm very happy with my purchase for the price I paid. I would definitely recommend this bike (make sure you grab some extra brakes) to others just getting back into riding. Just know that you get what you pay for.

  Bought the bike for my 11-year old niece for Christmas and she LOVES it!! She's an itty bitty thing, but with the seat all the way down, it's perfect! It's SUCH a cute bike! Great color, and detail, cute front basket and separate cup holder - it's pretty awesome! Was pretty easy to put together, too. Most of the bike comes assembled. I put it together myself in about an hour. Probably would have taken much less time if I hadn't put the front fender on backwards. ;) Highly recommend it!

  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.

  Extremely satisfied with the Ozone 500 durability after three weeks. Bell Child Carrier compatible is a bonus within our family. The only constructive feedback I have for store management is to incorporate a thorough inspection of bikes once assembled by bike techs, I had to return my first bike after the handle bars dropped during my first ride because of a stripped bolt that had to be noticeable by the bIke tech. My second bike had another handlebar issue, plus a brake issue which I chose ... read more Click to read full text of review titled "Ozone 500 Men's Bike". to fix on my own.

  We won this bike in a drawing for our deafblind daughter. She sees a very tiny amount, hears through a cochlear implant, and has no balance. When we were notified that we won we were so excited!!! The bike arrived and she has been on it since! This bike is a great tool for recreational therapy, as well as just plain fun. Excellent customer service as well!!

  I bought this bike for my 6 yr old grandson. He had picked it out in the store, but I didn't buy it at the time. I bought it online a few days later to surprise him with it. It arrived quickly and was easy to assemble. This bike is built very well for the price. I haven't seen another bike in this price range that even comes close to the quality of this bike. My grandson loves it!

  My son loves this bike, it is exactly what he was looking for. Our only complaint was that we had it delivered so I had to assemble it and the directions are tricky, there are several "you could have one of three different types of part" but it doesn't tell you which you have so you have to figure it out by reading all 3 directions and using the one that makes most sense. With that said, I can't put Lego's together so it could be my lack of creating. Over all love this bike!

  My son is so happy with this bike! Also, I thought I would have to completely put this bike together, but it came mostly assembled. I just had to attach the front wheel, pedals, seat, and handlebars---that's it! The bike was shipped faster than I expected. The box that it came in was a little beat up, but the bike was packaged well and not at all ruined. I'm very happy with the bike and Academy Sports. I will definitely order from Academy Sports again.

  I received this bike as a mothers day gift. Not only is it incredibly sharp with it's beautiful pink color and intricate details, but it rides like a dream! By far the most comfortable bike seat I have ever sat on. My husband and teenage son were able to put it together in about 20 minutes with no complications. The only thing that was confusing is the metal that I assume is supposed to be used with the luggage rack. There is nothing in the instructions explaining how to use it. So we just left it off.

  My son is enjoying the ride on the dual suspension bike a lot. He is happy with the shock absorbance and the smoothness of ride. The assembly was easy. There is however a problem with the wheel alignment. In the bicycle term, the wheel is not true. When rotated, there is a visible wobble to the wheels, specially the front one. So, we will have to spend the money to get it corrected at a bike shop. Or buy the needed tools to do it ourselves. This is poor quality control from the manufacturer.

  Although it took 2 weeks to get here and we had to bring to bicycle shop because the front wheel was flat I have to say the bike is really nice. Cost us $15 to fix flat and another $15 to put bike together. Well worth the money as the gears and brakes work perfect. Also, sent 15% coupon code for our next order at academy. Good customer service.

  I was looking for a comfortable bike that had riser handlebars for casual riding. I got all of that and more. I haven't taken it out on any long rides, just around the neighborhood and biking parks. I love the colors. The mint and the white look so much better than in the photo online. The reason for 4.5 instead of 5 stars is due to the fact that 1) sticker emblems were already placed on the bike and got damaged during shipping (more of an annoyance for someone who is slightly OCD and wants ... read more Click to read full text of review titled "4.5 Great casual bike". things to look nice and smooth) and 2) the directions and pictures in the manual are terrible and definitely need to be revised (Luckily I didn't really need them but I wouldn't recommend first-time bike builders to try it out without some knowledge of brake systems). So overall very pleased with this purchase and the issues I have can easily be remedied, I'm just being picking. And only time will tell how this bike holds up over time.

  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.

  Ok I've been riding this bike for the last couple of weeks and I'm ready to post a review. I pulled four other bikes off the rack at the store in order to compare and chose this one based on it's cost, design, and comfort. The bike is lightweight, the seat is comfortable, it shifts smoothly, and brakes very well. Has a nice ride to it on or off road. As mentioned in another review the wheels/rims have a seam which rubs on the brake pads as it rotates, creating a noticeable sound. ... read more Click to read full text of review titled "Solid Cruiser".

  We bought this for our 9 yr old daughter who was a new rider, and she is fast becoming an expert. Of course it was the most expensive ride in her size at the store, but YOLO right? There is a learning curve here with the gears, but this is to be expected. The brakes and gears were all out of whack when we got it home...probably from being handled by other Academy patrons. The Shimano hardware is very nice for a youth-ish bike, and was relatively easy to adjust.

  We bought this bike as a 9th birthday present for our daughter - she is a very novice bike rider having just learned two wheels on her brothers bike last fall. She is in that weird age/bike-size between 20" and 24" (since 22" bikes are apparently no longer made). She liked this one the best out all the 24" bikes she saw. She is 50-1/4" tall, and with the seat slammed all the way down, probably the very minimum height that could safely ride this bike. She rides in a nice upright position with ... read more Click to read full text of review titled "Great bike for girls at a moderate price". very slight elbow bend to reach handle bars. Since it is a hybrid there are a few things that are really nice about it. The weight is much lighter than a "Mountain" bike. She liked the thinner tires - less work to ride too. The drop on the frame (stand over height) fit her well - she was able to straddle the frame easily - an issue with a couple she tried.The bike she learned on had coaster brakes, so we were worried how she would adjust to hand brakes - it never became an issue before she had it figured out. We would have liked a 7 speed (single sprocket up front), but during the first ride she already had the shifting somewhat figured out. She liked the way the grips felt - she really did not like the grips, or handle bars, on the "Cruiser" bikes. I agree, she really struggled in the store with the handle bars and hand positioning on the cruiser bikes. Overall, mom, dad, and daughter are really happy with the choice - nothing but smiles while she was riding.

  I am 5' 4" with a 28" inseam. After trying other Schwinn bikes, I spoke directly with Schwinn; they assured me that this bike would work for me. I went to Academy Sports to try this bicycle before purchasing. However, when I tried it out, I found that the seat CANNOT be lowered enough for someone with a 28" inseam to place their feet flat on the ground while seated. The bike is probably a nice one, but sizing is very important for safety. I'm providing this info to help other short people looking for a bike.

The suspension is amazing it gives you such a smooth ride. I like that I can adjust the handle bars to any position I desire as well as being able to adjust the seat. It forms to your liking and makes the ride much more comfortable and enjoyable. The color is different and fun. You wont regret this purchase. I love it!!

This is a super nice bike with metal pedals a comfortable seat (not the usual cheap leather ones) and a super nice paint job. This is one nice bike.
