Good and bad about the Schwinn Aluminum Comp 26" Men's Bike

Schwinn Aluminum Comp 26" is one of the best mountain bikes available in the market. Though a good bike, it does have merits and demerits, which are discussed below.

First lets see its pros. Aluminum frame is worth a mention, it keeps the unit sturdy yet lightweight. This Schwinn bike's S-bend seat stays and hence users can add a rear rack for easy carrying of essentials. Shimano 21-speed drive train with ST-EF50 shifters enables easy gear changes. It has threadless headset, which eliminates the need for special wrenches to adjust head bearings.

Now, check what are its cons. Schwinn Aluminum Comp 26" Men's Bike has Shimano TX-50 rear derailleur, which though a good option it falls under the cheapest derailleurs so its performance is doubtful. Schwinn has been stuck to the outdated type of seat and seat post for this bike. And, to remove the rear tire when it is flat a wrench is needed but it is not so with the front tire.

Despite the flip sides, Schwinn Aluminum Comp all-terrain Bike still remains one of the favourite amongst the host of other mountain bikes, its perfomance is excellent and has been the most sought after mountain bikes for ages now.
