I dropped it off and they said it has a broken spoke. and both tirees need truing. Hopefully this is from riding it with it being out of true and not because it is that fragile. Hopefully the repair holds up for a while, but I will be shopping for new wheels in the meantime

Well I still am suppurting them. I am paying the fifty dollars to fix a spoke and true the wheels. I have also bought several items and acceries there for double the price of what I could have gotten online. The bike was a gift
