Take care of Topkick Dual-Suspension Mountain Bike GMC
Alright for the price. I picked this up for $100 even, its an ok bike. I find the tires/rims combination to be awkward, the deep V rims are so very narrow compared to the wider knobby tires. there is a very noticeable wiggle (from the tire flexing side to side) when on slanted surfaces or after hitting small bumps.
Like most people have commented, the brakes will almost certainly require adjustment, and the rear calliper does rub (just adjust the large retainer nut on the spoke side of the brake calliper, this adjusts the stationary pad). I still only ride this bike for short distances due to a flat tire i got on my first ride (the puncture was spoke side, so wasn’t road debris). I might purchase a wider rim for the rear in the future.
Topkick is topkick. Fabulous bike!!! It appears that they have thought of everything for the rider. Don’t know about jumping or other extreme sports, but for everyday use it’s right on. Workmanship is defined by the details and this bike has it. No sloppy welds anywhere.
Great bike, needs instructions….. First off, I ordered this bike from Amazon at $150 on March 5th and was told 4-6 week delivery at mid April being the estimated ship date. Luckily, I got GMC Topkick Dual-Suspension Mountain Bike by March 20th, assembled it, and just took it out for a test ride. Overall I am very satisfied, it is a very solid bike worth every penny.
As previous reviewers have mentioned, shipping quality isn’t astounding, but it doesn’t seem like I have any damaged parts other than slight frame scratches.
Assembly is quite tedious and the only fault about this bike I could really come up with was the lack of instructions (besides the bike being a little bit heavy) but it isn’t hard to figure out. Only tools you need are hex wrenches and pliers. Mounting the front brake was confusing and tweaking it to align right was tricky, make sure you understand which way to mount and how to tweak before assembling the brake. Also, make sure you screw the pedals in completely. I failed to do so and the pedal snapped out of place while riding, although I was able to fix it.
The dual suspension is really nice to have as well as disk brakes (the main reason I opted for this model) and quick release tires/seat are nice. Seat is a little uncomfortable, shifting isn’t that smooth, but both do the job.
The rear suspension takes up space in the middle. I mounted a pump and lock on it but no room for water bottle. The kickstand is not your average flimsy stick, very sturdy. Handle bars aren’t the best but adequate. Be sure to tighten everything!
The bike was worth every penny at $150 (keep in mind that it came with a claimed 4-6 week wait), jumped to $260 as of today. I’d say if it dropped under $200, get it.
