Like one of the previous reviewers, I, too, had issues with the handlebars; except even the handlebars were installed backwards. I'm a mechanically-inclined individual, but am still pretty new at putting bikes together. This lead to me having issues with the cheap screws (that are prone to stripping) on the derailleurs.

On the plus-side, the manual is relatively comprehensive, although is jam-packed of information for EVERY bike that Pacific makes.

As far as the ride goes, I don't completely have the brakes or shifters adjusted, so I won't speak to their quality (although they weren't completely terrible), but the bike seat is a bit hard. The bike is also almost too big for me (I'm 5'3"), so short people should probably look elsewhere. You'll want to adjust the rear shock's spring depending on your weight, as the stock setting had no give at all for me.

The packaging from the manufacturer was lacking. I'm lucky that my FedEx driver isn't very abusive to packages, but people that are less fortunate could definitely have problems. The bike arrives with the front end disassembled (which is standard), and is secured to itself with zip ties and absolutely zero foam/paper/etc to hold it in place. There is cardboard wrapped around certain areas of the bike to dull hard points, but this obviously won't save it from any kind of drop.

Bike arrived with Dangerous Warped Front Wheel. Fix it, and add $40.00 to the price. Don't fix it, and crash.Pacific Chromium Men's Dual Suspenstion Mountain Bike (26-Inch Wheels)

OK so it was very easy to assemble and its a smooth ride somewhat but, the brakes and handle bars are cheap. Like a lot of the people said, you get what you paid for and that's exactly right because the brakes aren't solid metal, they're hollow and the things u use to press to make the bike some are plastic -_- which means that they break easily. (sorry for not knowing what its called). SO i went to the bike shop and told them that i cant stop because i have the brakes adjusted properly but I'm not getting the proper stopping power. The guy told me that my brakes are cheap and he showed me some of the one of the more expensive bikes and it was way better than mine.( The bike he showed me was a trek) And he said that he was going to replace all of it for $97 n that's including everything , so now i have to get it fixed. but If i knew that i was going to have to spend another almost $100 then i would've bought a more expensive bike. But If you're buying this for exercise and like going to be using it a lot then i wouldn't suggest getting this bike.
