Oh. My linear brakes were terrible. I never tried to find out why though, so it's partially my fault.

The Haro is not bad it needs some work. Should paint the forks though. Also needs a better seat. It is about 9-10 years old. The Mongoose Pro (it wasn't bought at Wal-Mart it was bought before the Wal-Mart era) is in its prime because it has rarely been used it was under a cover for a year in a half in his garage. My bike just sits around outside but we're on are way to fixing it. ITS ON A COMEBACK.

You can file down the dropouts. Get 3pc cranks, a new slimmer seat and better brakes.
