pedal came off during first ride. Third ride resulted in loose, nearly unattached crank arm. The original tubes had an odd, slick feel to them, so I swapped them out (had to be done anyway, as there was insufficient stem to get a pump attached.) so, mostly defects.
i understood that, at that price, it was an entry-level ride, but it still hasn't measured up, IMO.
How did the pedal come off? Did it threading strip? Other more experienced members will probably give better info, but it sounds like it was assembled poorly, or at the very least, not properly checked over by the shop (if it came mostly assembled).
