DIS BIKE IS SOO GOOD, IT MAKES ME PARTY WITH A HOTTIE (DA FOOD AT DA PARTY IS GOOD TOO) :D...HAHA.

had this bike for 3 years now, and go to school on it 5 days a week and have had next to no faults with it, front disk brake has only just recently started sticking due to it being left outside in the damp, overall I think that its a brilliant bike and to the other person, your criticism is unnecessary because to me it sounds as if your son rode the bike too hard, what do you expect if they're going over massive jumps or going down steps on them? (not that you said he's doing that of course, just an assumption, as nothing is indestructible)so yeah I love it and highly recommend it, even though I dont think halfords sell them anymore :S

Bought one of these from Halfords for my son last xmas. Supplied with faulty disc brake - warranty part faulty as well, Had to upgrade part at own cost. Brake lever housing broke easily - upgraded at own cost. Fat front forks completely useless - upgraded. Back wheel colasped - replaced at own cost. Cranks fell off repeatedly, Halfords replaced parts under warranty, they fell off - upgraded and replaced at own cost
My advice - Save yourself time, trouble, effort and ear bashing from your son and buy something that will take a bit of use. Oh by the way, Halfords will promise alot and deliver nothing!
