Guest's Review of Carrera Kraken Mountain Bike
12th Oct 2009
Overall Rating
- Value for money
I brought a Kraken and I love riding it. The only problem is that the assembly (by Halfords) is very poor. I have had punctures due to the rim tape not being put on properly (apparently a common problem on this bike), the crank snapped off, the front reflector even fell off on the way home. Halfords replaced the whole bike when the crank snapped but they gave me the new one in an unrideable condition, the gears were all over the place. In the end I got my local bike shop to give it a good service and set the gears up properly, it cost me £35 but it gave me piece of mind.
I have tried to put a review on the Halfords website twice but I don't think that they publish bad reviews, which doesn't seem very honest to me.

I have the Carrera Kraken 2001 model. I got it just before the 2002 model came out so I got it slightly cheaper than normal.

Our first sideways glance at the 2006 Carrera Kraken was at the Halfords 2006 launch, and we were convinced it was an £800 bike (it was 20 yards away).
