back wheel pops spokes easily although i am a heavy and taller person. i relaced it with a mavic rim and ultegra hub. too much flex in the adjustable stem. relaced with a solid easton stem.

Summary:
Got this bike completely oblivious to road biking as I was doing a charity ride. Find the bike excellent to ride. A bit harsh at times but overall nothing too bad. On climbs out of the saddle or sprints, gears sometimes jump or don't shift smoothly probably due to them being lower end components. For the price it was great to get me hooked on the sport.

Strengths:
Great price, fast.

Weaknesses:
Shifting can be choppy, adjustable handlebar stem noisy.
