Judging by the size of Walmart and the fact they probably sell these bikes in their 10's if not 100's of thousands ... there must be a real long queque of people lining up to get them fixed ...
It's a good thing quality bikes never need anything doing to them as the serious cyclist would have to wait ages to get it fixed ... waiting at the end of the queque of people with Walmart bikes ... the wait could seriously throw out their training program.
Last time I went into my LBS, they had some real quality gear / bikes but you couldn't see them for all the Walmart ones clogging up every corner of the shop waiting for repair, I took a photo of the line of them taking up the road in the approach to the shop ...
What I hadn't realised until then is they're not only broken but also carry deadly diseases so a surgical mask is recommended whenever going anywhere near them ... or are the germs caused by the low life that might stoop so low as to actually buy one of them
