i go this bike 26th december 08
so not 2 long ago
i know that it is not a proper jumping/ stunt bike
but if i can preform jumps on a £40 bike this £189 bike should do better (reduced from £300:D)
so far it has faired well again 5 jumps and im still putting it through fine tuning and testing but with the weather bein -2c half the time dont really want to.
so yeah the front reflector and the bell will probly go in a few weeks once they start annoyin me
* dont complain to me on the fact i bought a cheap apollo bike
i dont have a job and have bearly any funding as most my money goes in my cars fuel tank
once i get a job new bike will be comin

slacken the caliper off by the two allen bolts that hold it on to the bracket but not right off just enough so the caliper can move, then pull your brake lever in and keep it pressed in and re-tighten the allen bolts, that will line your caliper up

it`ll do to get you going in this sport, but it will start to drop to bits in a few months especially if your jumping it, as its a pavement mountain bike, once you have bought yourself a proper bike you`ll see the bike for what it is, but when you have no money its alot better than nothing

it`ll break when you start really using it, i promise, not been funny but i could wreck it in one dh run, but it all depends how you ride and what you ride, but once you start to push your limits the bike wont cope
