Selection tips

Chinese-made bicycles, as it is easy to understand from the description of different models, are very specific. Among them there are both quite decent options, and frankly weak in quality.

  • When buying, be sure to check the frame parameters. If it is even a little deformed or has lost its presentation, it is better to immediately refuse the purchase. It is also inadvisable to choose bikes in which the frame is completely or mostly covered by various stickers.

No self-respecting manufacturer will do this.

  • The next important moment when choosing a bike is the standard size. In addition, it is customized individually for you. It’s very good to try cycling. When moving, no crunch, other sounds should appear. The slightest manifestations of them mean that the product is not enough quality.
  • If it is stated in the description that the bike is equipped with V-Brake brakes, then they must ensure accurate operation and uniform clamping of the rim on both sides. Important: regardless of the company and the specific model, it is necessary to evaluate both the effect of the switches and their appearance. You should refuse to buy a bicycle if at least one fundamentally important part is not indicated by the manufacturer. When this is all right, you need to evaluate how strong the steering wheel and take-out are.
  • A Chinese budget bike is worth buying after a direct inspection. Buying online does not even approximately determine the weaknesses of the bike. Subsequently, he can present many surprises. You should not try to save too much, unless in the case when you need a bicycle "for a dozen rides."

And only last but not least, you should focus on the brand’s place in various ratings.
