What should be to come from this Denali is something low low on the totem pole to compare to the first CV I pick up (edit: first that I keep) because I've been on a 25 yo bike that felt & rode better than this one.

Even more than crap components, $h!tty tires are $h!tty tires. Do not think they can be saved. Do not think that your 85psi max tubes will suffice. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. Some patch work and Slime-covered, dirty fingers later, I think they'll make it to the weekend!
