Box broken and ripped. Headset making noises and has a rough feel. Wheels hardly spin.
I did my research and the Grit Fluxx looked perfect for my 5 year old to take to the skate park.
Argos had by far the best price so I didn't hesitate and placed my order.
Deliveredby parcel force just over 24 hours later.
The box was badly damaged and wouldn't have been suitable to give as a present.
As soon as we took it out of the box it was apparent that the headset is very noisey and rough when being turned. I have lots of bikes and if any were as bad as this I'd replace the entire headset immediately, not just the bearings!
The wheel bearings aren't much better. As soon as you take your hand off when giving them a spin they stop as if there's a brake being applied.
It was so easy to put together I let my 5 year old do it and just fully tightened the bolts afterwards.
It looks good but I doubts remain about the quality of certain parts and their longevity in use.
Maybe I was just unlucky but I won't be taking a chance and buying one for his cousin.
I haven't recommended it as I'm not prepared to buy one for someone as a gift.
I have said it is good value based on it's price compared to other retailers.
I haven't recommended it as good quality due to the problems mentioned above.
Hopefully Argos sent me the reject and all the others they sold were better.
