I know it's bad to bump....but if you ahve to go wal-mart steer clear of roadmaster.

I used to have one of these, and it gave me nothing but trouble: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...%3A4183%3A5304

Basically, after one month the headset started to make noises...and the brakes never worked right. The next month I started having problems with chains blowing off my chainring under load...then I had my front caliper brake get bent from having to stop suddenly (almost got doored).

The final straw ws when the chain blew off again, this time while I was trying to start from a stop...went over the handlebars. Turns out the crankset was warped....what the heck? The next day I went and bought my current bike.

Basically Roadmaster is not a very good bike...the parts are ridiculously cheap, even for wal-mart bikes. Get a wal-mart schwinn, mongoose, or even a murray...heck my old murray back in high school was far tought than that roadmaster.
