Mongoose Paver 700C 7 Speed Men's Bike

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.

I have had 4 flats, air pressure rating for these tubes is wrong, when flats blow they bend the rim, Can't find thick tubes for this size wheel!! bike back at walmart again for repair I have owned less than a week!!!

Read the reviews before buying and you should be prepared. Cheap price = cheap components. But it's an aluminum frame (i.e. it's lighter than steel), and the design was right for me. Product took some tinkering to get right. I had zero experience with bikes but got a wheel truing tool from a bike store ($12) and watched an on-line video and truing the wheels was easy. The brakes I was never able to get right (despite the online videos) and had to take to a bike mechanic for adjustment ($10). Replaced the seat, as other reviewers had suggested. I commute on the bike several days a week, over some rough track. The bike is perfect for the task with its wide wheels. I like to sit bolt upright, so the style of the bike suits me. I'm 6' 0" and the bike is smaller than ideal on me, but works for me. Bike looks great. A real value at the price. Recommended.
