My new bike
I know its a sucky bike but after last one was stolen from me i got frustated .do you all know if at least this bike has parts i can find most places? http://www.walmart.com/ip/Mongoose-D...-Bike/16913451
|
What "parts" are you looking for?
|
Since you already own the bike, why not cross that bridge when you need to? I would wager that most parts on that frame can be upgraded.
|
Niner tires and tubes and disc brake pads are not as ubiquitous as 26" tires/tubes and rim brake pads, so you'll likely have to go to a bike shop for replacements instead of walmart, but they're still found in most bicycle shops.

i have read that 700 c tires will fit it not sure if its true or not.right now i need the lever part that goes on a the disc brake caliper.i hope i dont have to buy a whole new caliper also the rear spocket some times wont engage the wheel

I advise against going to Wal-Mart for parts. Stick with your LBS or online resources IMO. |

What??! Your brand-new Wal-Mart bike shouldn't need any parts or adjustment. Or new tires.

I may do that i just hate dealing with walmart dureing the day time
|
Why do you keep buying Wally World crap?? Get a legit bike from a legit shop.
|
Just my opinion, If it already has problems then that's not good. I would take it back and go to your LBS or search the web, for factory closeout sales and used bikes. You can probably get like 30 or 40% off the MSRP. You can find good deals on craigslist too.
|
Look for a 80's rigid(no shocks) MTB on cragslist. They are durably, easy to fix and parts are cheap. You can also easily get a decent name brand bike for around $100.
