Problems I noticed: Wheels are really cheap. I had issues with truing and spokes breaking. A wheel upgrade is probably one of the first things you will need. Second thing is the bottom bracket. It started acting up 800 miles in and I was planning on replacing just before it was stolen.

Bike is cheap for a reason and it is the components. Frame will last a long time, just replace cheap components with decent parts when the time comes and the bike should last a long time.
Yeah, the wheels are already out of true a bit. What was wrong with your BB?


Thanks for replying, everyone Would it even be worth it to upgrade the components on this bike? Not that I really have the money to, but would upgrading the wheelset be smart or is getting them re-tensioned/trued enough?
