Title: Good bike, terrible components
Product review: Received my shinning new bike, excitement, opened the box, assembled the parts, inflated the tires, checked the chain, joy, mounted it for my first ride, emotion, put my feet on the pedals, fresh air, good weather at 75F, happiness, started pedaling.... suddenly... loud CRACK!!!... WTF?... something fell off, pedals loosed, the ride stopped... now sadness, anger, rage.... damn!What happened is that the Rear Derailleur (SRAM 3.0) simply broke for no reason. I'm a 5'7, 185 lbs non-athletic couch potato and there's no way I could have caused this breaking by just pedaling. Check the images I uploaded of the broken derailleur. (Customers Images)This is definitively a case of bad quality plastic components used in an expensive product. I've seen cheaper bikes at local retailers (WMT, TGT, KMT) with better Shimano components.Now, who I have to direct my complaints to?, Amazon?, Mongoose?, SRAM?Who's going to respond for it?
