I purchased TWO Mongoose bikes, a Tactic and an Estes. Both have shocks under the seat and over front tires (Sucks up energy cruising, i feel myself losing a LOT of speed and putting much effort in on the Tactic, and that cost more) but its not bad at all. (Should have got a Schwinn? but, alas, no shocks. For now I have Two mongooses, one has been rode three times, soon to be four.)
I always used to spray WD-40 on Huffy 20" Frame chains younger, now i have a real 26" Mountain bike! Seems WD-40 worked (??) but you DONT want to spray Degreaser on a chain, to keep it lubed?
Was going to pick up some WD-40 OR PB Blaster, im a PB Blaster convert over how it made my auto car key work vs not working (door key cylinder wouldnt turn right.. then it worked as new.)
Which lube for the Chain, im deciding which one is going to see heavy use, BUT they will be well upkept regardless? Also.. 65Psi in the tire, yes?
Mongoose, Tactic:
Mongoose, Estes (this one may be better? Need to put air in tire
And yes, the frame makes the riding feel different.
