Review 1 for 700c Men's Mongoose Paver Commuter Bike
blows tubes

got to be careful inflating the tires on this bike. the tire itself doesn't grab the rim unless lined up perfectly and the tube will get between the rim and tire if you don't watch it closely. air up tires slowly and watch the rim for any bubbles. don't put more than 50 lbs of air in. the tire says it will hold up to 75 psi but don't believe it. i know one thing, when the tires blow on this baby they sound like m-80's going off.

when my bike was stole, my two college aged sons chipped in and got me a Mongoose Paver for Christmas; very special. The Paver is a great bike for around town with seven speeds. Solid ride and has been dependable. I like to ride for distance and the Paver is good for this but not as sophisticated as many of my friends bikes so I cannot maintain the speed at which they ride; but their bikes cost $1000 or more. So get yourself a Paver and enjoy it for what it is; s really good cruiser.

On my second mongoose paver. Had a lot of issueswith tires so took it back and got another one. Worked very well for a while. Have to be very careful mounting tires onthe rims, have to be exact or else bead comes off and tube bursts. Happen three times to me until I figured it out. Even had a bike shop mount a tire for me and same thing happened. Also have had spokes just snap on two separate occasions. Have only ridden on asphalt roads. Talked to an associate at walmart and he said the rims have had issues.

bought this bike for a couple of reasons, to get in shape and to spend time with my family. living in kentucky i have a lot of hills around me to ride up and down and this bike has done very well on them pulling an instep trailer with my 2 year old in it. i have 2 of them so me and my wife can switch and each can pull the trailer and this bike does it great, the gearing is great and not complicated like a 21 speed. good for anyone wanting a cheap bike and i havent had the same problems with the innertubes that other people have

This is the perfect bike if you have long legs (tires are 27"). It is very light and fast enough. I bought it because it felt good the first time I sat on it at the store and since it was recommended by another customer. Already took it for a spin. Walmart did the installation. My husband tweaked it so it would fit perfectly. The price is amazing.

Big bike for below average height

We bought bicycle for my wife to commute to and fro work. She is 5'7" so the bikes geometry is perfect for her. Assembled the bike with metric allen wrenches. Handlebar very inadequate for moderate distance riding, so we bought a straight handlebar and fitted that to the bike. Inner tubes are very hard to find. 7 speed is fine for typical Florida terrain. Excellent stopping ability with strong brakes. 700c size provides a very smooth ride. Nice and light aluminum frame and wheels. Great bike for the price, even after spending $10 for the new handlebar.

Would recommend this bike to anyone, for a 120.00 dollars, nice Aluminum frame, Shimano shifting system, 28 x 1.175 ties, bike rack and water bottle cage included, rims run true, needed lots of adjusting from the store, nothing worked correctly, but after an hour or so of adjusting, the bike is well worth the money.... xoxoxxoLive

I bought this bike as an alternative to driving around town. So far so good I would suggest to anyone who buys the bike to change to seat ASAP!!! I thought it was because I am a woman (and I bought a males bike) that I found the seat uncomfortable but that's not the case. I let a few of my male friends ride the bike and they were uncomfortable as well.
Also please note when adjusting the gears don't skip or the chain will jump off the wheel.

The Mongoose 700c is a nice commuter bike. Walmart shipped it to my son quickly. After a few inner tube issues due to incorrect installation, the bike ran well.

The bike is great for what it was intended for. A plastic part on the back, used for changing gears, broke within the first week. Walmart had no problem fixing it and it's worked ever since.

Inadequate for Daily Commuting

By LeftOfCentre ,

I ride about 10 minutes each way to and from school in Tucson, AZ, and while this bike does get me from A to B, I am still disappointed with how this bike fails to work properly. Firstly, the transmission has a mind of its own: it shifts up or down with slightly extra pedaling force, and over very small bumps. And when I want to shift, it doesn't. Also, after the first rain, the right-hand-side handlebar grip came off, loosening the gear shifter in the process. This is around the same time my transmission grew a brain of its own.

Ok, so I got this bike today. I wish I could tell you how it handles on the road, but I never got that far with it. I assembled it myself, which wasn't difficult. The problem was the tires. The tubes, to be exact. I'm not sure if it was because of the rims or what, but as soon as I inflated them to the recommended pressure of 60psi (actually, around 55), they blew. I even bought a new pair of tubes (big mi$take), and they blew out as well, scaring the ever-loving bejeezus out of my cat. I am returning this bike for a refund and buying a bike elsewhere.

Comfortable ride

Overall a nice bike. I use it for my short commute. The aluminum frame is lightweight and easy to carry. Easily assembled from the box, needing only minor adjustment. The brake pads wore out very quickly, however, and needed replacing. I would prefer that the high-gear were more aggressive, but it's OK.

I bought this bike last night. I live in a mountain community so almost all of the roads are hilly. Other than wearing my breaks out, my first ride went OK this morning. I re-adjusted my breaks and took another ride... The chain broke while I was powering up one of the hills near home. I replaced the chain and blew out the front tire on the next ride. In total I rode the bike about 2 miles and walked it about 2 miles. Tomorrow I am going to go and trade it on another one. I don't know whether I would recommend this bike or not. I do like the design on the bike but it seems like all of the components are sub prime.

bike-the good and the bad

Assembly was easy. I would have given the bike a five star rating if the rear wheel hadn't twisted after the tire went flat. I was riding the bike on a street near my home when this occured. I don't know what caused the flat or what caused the rim to twist, there were no visable signs to cause either. I might mention that I had set the pressure in the tires at 55 lbs psi. the tires are rated for a max of 65 lbs psi so I didn't over inflate the tires. After the rim twisted there were no broken spokes but the rim was bent bad enough that I returned the bike because the rim was not repairable. This happened after the first hour of riding. This may have been a "fluke", I don't know. None of the other reviews I have read mentioned the rim problem, only the flat problem. I haven't decided whether to order another one of these bikes or not. I really did like the bike!

Review 20 for 700c Men's Mongoose Paver Commuter Bike
Inner tube blew out
,

By Rwfaff
1out of5
When airing up the tires for the first time, the front innertube blew up before the recommended pressure was reached. The tires are an odd size and the innnertubes are not available at Walmart or Academy. Too bad. Have to take the bike back and get a different type. Not worth the hassle. Not recommended!
