I actually had my first flat this morning. It took about 25 minutes to change. To me, it seemed pretty straight forward. I did not have to re-tension the belt. Since having done it once, i think I...

I love mine for commuting. It rains every day here this time of year. It has made my maintenance so much easier. I have put 2,000 miles on it already this year.

I sprung for the GT Ruckus DX. I have been keeping my eye out for a decent priced mountain bike. I love it so far. My wife is now wondering when I will be building ramps in the back yard ; )
