Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Vilano feels comfy for my height. The only thing i've upgraded are the pedals which were the only part of the bike that seemed cheap. I relearned riding with no hands, after a bit of practice and adjusting to the thinner tire, it is possible.

Great bike for beginners. The frame is good quality and welds look pretty good. Bad chain ring is the only issue i got.



Cons

This bike has a lot of defects. The front derailleur is impossible to adjust. Couldnt even really work up the speed to even need brakes. Couldn't get the front brake to work properly. The rear brake is a major defect.

    I will concur that the brakes on this bike are not good


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The design has a lot of problems from the actuator to the pads themselves


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I adjusted the brakes as well as i could i have a lot of experience in bike maintenance and could never get them very straight


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It seems the pads are in the brakes at an angle


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    My last ride of the week one of the pads slipped off and wedged itself further in the brake causing a lot of drag


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I replaced the calipers with a set of hydraulic brake that do not rub and actually have a lot more braking power


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Directions could have been better but assembly wasn’t extremely difficult for a novice


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The front derailleur broke after a few rides spring broke off
