The Raleigh Trailblazer is a pretty decent bike, particularly for the price - AFTER it is properly set up. Out of the box the wheel bearings were WAY too tight, as was the headset. The spoke tension was WAY too loose.Treat it as a partially assembled kit - have a qualified bicycle mechanic check it out and give it a proper "tune-up" if you are not comfortable with doing it yourself and don't have the proper tools. The quality of the bike itself is on a par with a mid-range bike-shop bike - but the assembly??? Not so much
