I just got a Mongoose Xr200 Cheap from walmart just to start out and my front suspension is a little soft but i dont know how to adjust it, it doesnt have any knobs at the top like the expensive bikes it only has some type of screw inside when i take the fake knob off, help please

Return your bike at once.

Go to a local bike shop and buy a $350 mountain bike that will last you a lifetime.

Sorry to say it, but you just wasted your money. When you buy a bike at walmart, you will spend about twice to three times as much money you spent to actually get it working correctly.

It's not worth the money to upgrade it, since everything on it is worthless.

Again, I'm sorry to say but you should return it. I run around town assembling bikes for a living and I assemble at 3 different walmarts in my area and there is not a bike worth the time and money to buy. I've been doing this for 3 years, and I still can't get half of them shifting correctly, but the manager still makes me place them out on the shelves and they still sell regardless.

If they are fake knobs then you can't adjust them. Oh yeah BotByte, one question. What sort of mountain bike can you get from a LBS that's $350.00 and will last you a life time? Just asking.

You can buy the Giant Boulder for around $310 I think. Given it's the lower end of Giant's mountain bikes but it's still a pretty decent one that should last a while and be a ton better than one from Wal-Mart

Try your local craigslist. I was just browsing and I found this and I'm sure there are many other bikes out where you live.
