Mongoose Fireball Dirt Jump Mens and Womens Mountain Bike, 26-Inch Wheels, Mechanical Brakes, T1 Aluminum Frame

Very nice bike to ride

My son has rode this bike twice and today biking home from school the pedal falls off. He stops by the local bike shop and they tell him this brand new bike need a crank are as the one on the bike is stripped

I kept tabs on this bike for a few months. Amazon's prices rise and fall like the stock market. I snagged the SS (chrome model) as soon as I saw the price hit a all time low. This was my first bike I ever bought that came new in the box, and not off the floor of a LBS. Upon arrival the box looked like it went for a ride. Holes and dents all over. Opening it up, the grips had tears in them and there was some scuffs on the front hub. Assembly was pretty straightforward. To my dismay, the forks had black stanchions and not the pretty gold ones like pictured in the stock photos. Bummer. Can't tell if it's a 2019 or 2020 model. Looks like a 2020. From the jump I had to install new grips. Odi lock ons are my go to. Then it was ready for the first ride. Immediately I hated the gear ratio. So I tossed a 28t front on I had laying around. Better, but will likely go 33t on the front eventually. Next, the seat had to go. It's position is fixed and is pointed too high for my liking. So I swapped it out for a pivotal post and an adapter to dial in that perfect angle. Lastly, the bars were too wide and flat for me, so I tossed on some SPANK spoon bars with 60mm rise and cut them down to 730mm. Now this thing rides like the dj dream I always wanted. Honestly for the sum of it's parts, and including the 100$ in stuff I added, for a dj weighing in at 28 to 29lbs, for under $1k you can't beat it's value.

this bike is spot on. it is the best mtb dj you can get for your money. i built this thing up and went out and rode rays mtb and shreded it hard and it does it perfect. the parts it says it has on this page are wrong btw. it has a 12t cassette not a freewheel, it is also integrated and sealed headset. if anyone is looking for something to buy and just ride super hard then buy this and send it! also I'm 5'7 and its perfect for my hight.

Bike arrived with handlebars installed backwards. Also both break pads came stuck in the engaged position. Luckily I know how to take the bike apart and fix everything. But very disheartening to get a new bike and have to spend a couple hours fixing it.
