The 35mm-wide rims are a nice match for the tire width, delivering good stability and rollover capability. It’s not quite a plus bike, and that might actually be a good call. The geometry is comfortable, and this bike is going to be a pleasure to go on and off-road with.
Mountain bicycles can be used for both pure fitness purposes as well as for daily commute, a piece of great news to any sport enthusiasts out there to be able to blend hobby and daily life perfectly. I had to do some adjustments and tighten some things up after I bought it. What caused me to this was the rear suspension fell off after riding it just one week. Schwinn support was useless, but they did try to help.
Until then, have patience…I’m sure someone else is reading this besides you and me. There is also an allenhead bolt on the handlebar bracket towards the front of the bike. Loosening that releases a little metal wedge that holds the handlebar bracket at the desired angle. You schwinn road bike can set the angle and retighten this bolt, being careful to get the wedge back in place correctly. I am biking a lot more and looking to shop for a custom fitted bike. If you have the time, could you post the make and model of the accessories you have on your Midtown?
schwinn road bikes are available with front suspension or full suspension. Schwinn mountain bikes in 2022 are made of aluminum or steel. Aluminum bike frames often weigh less than steel frames, are less prone to oxidation (rust), and can create a firm and responsive ride.
We have the seat posts lifted as high as they can safely go. Compared to our fitted road bikes, the pedaling position is a little awkward and it causes strain on my knees at the end of long rides. At first, I thought the pain was from pushing my old body. However, I haven’t experienced the knee pain on my road bikes yet. Ricki and Jane, sorry you had such a bad experience with your Midtown. It sounds like your problems were most likely related to a poor assembly job, not the bike itself.
I just bought this same bike, but realized that the front tire doesn’t sync up with the handlebars. Jane, my local Costco has been rotating stock for the fall and winter, so all of the schwinn road bike bikes are gone now. However, before they had packed things up, I did notice that they were carrying a women’s version of the Midtown, and it looked like it might be a bit smaller.
Yet, I was able to raise the seat as high as I liked, and felt comfortable enough to bang out a couple 25-mile+ rides on the Axum. To back up this off-road performance, you will need disc brakes, and the Traxion has them, and they will be very helpful on a trail. Like the other bikes, the Traxion has a Shimano triple front crank, but it is equipped with an 8-speed cassette on the rear.
