29″ Genesis GS29 Mountain Bike 800 mile performance review by Marvin McKenzie Fitness After Fifty

No surprises, just great bikes that you can pay off with as low as 0% APR financing from Affirm on select bikes. The amount you can expect to receive in store credit when trading in your bike with a dealer. I too started out on a bike of this price. After 100 miles my rear hub became so loose that it was pretty much un-ride-able. Over ten years the range expanded beyond commuter bikes to include road, mountain, cyclo-cross, gravel, kids and fat bikes. After repairs, the bikes are then sold on to prevent waste, encourage cycling and support the charity’s work.

We ask that you return your bike to the same place it was purchased. If you purchased on our website, we can accept the return. If bought at an outside retailer, be sure to have your receipt.

These are Genesis’ entry-level road bikes and are the cheapest in their range. The geometry is a little more upright, making… If there are any issues with your bike, return it for a full refund or receive a replacement bike for free. Your bike frame & fork are protected under our Lifetime Warranty policy. We do not have a spring rate chart or recommendation for this model.

The shifting is awesome, the shocks worked great. It is a little heavy to carry up stairs but other than that its a great looking and handeling bike. I can hardly feel genesis bike the bumps of the road, or on the trail. My only concern is not knowing how to replace the pads on my front break, like most models, I have a disc break in front.

And finally, you can view our events page, located here to see which upcoming demo events we’ll be participating in. I found a cheap 26″ frame off of PricePoint.com and built my own bike after that. Ride a bike you have built or one of a higher quality and you will realize how terrible bikes of this caliber are. Sure, anything that gets you riding is a plus, but as mentioned before you get what you pay for. If you order directly from us you can watch this video to see how the bike will arrive to you. If you order it through one of our local dealers, then the bike will come assembled and ready to ride.

Some riders incorrectly assume that a lightweight wheel with a low spoke count is difficult to keep in true. Yet a poorly assembled wheel with uneven spoke tension is far more likely to have issues. That’s why the majority of new owners reported that their Genesis V2100 was delivered with bent wheels, right out of the box.

But, being assembled improperly is half the battle when buying a “Big Box Brand” bike. That if you are not an avid cyclist with basic bike skills can cost you as much as the bike to get repaired. So why even bother if you want a bike that you can ride and will last more than a few rides before having catastrophic failure.
