RALEIGH Bicycles Redux 1 City Bike

This is the bike I’ve been looking for. Larger wheels, semi slick tires, wide enough to absorb road vibrations, but thin enough to roll smoothly. It’s not an aggressive riding position, but it’s also not straight up and down. Just comfortable!The 1x8 setup is the perfect mix of simple and functional. The gearing is right in the sweet spot. It might be my out of shape legs, but it feels like it’s geared a little on the fast side, so if you hit some hills, you might have to gut it out and crank in a higher gear than you’re used to. But, if you ride city trails, flat roads, this thing has some giddy up.It came packaged very well. I had to install the handlebars, the wheels and the seat. The only adjustment needed was the front disc brake. It barely rubbed, so I backed out the pad about 1/8th of a turn. Problem solved. Pumped the tires and was riding in about 30 minutes. Shifting was crisp and quiet. Zero complaints.I can’t wait to put some serious miles on this thing!

Packed and shipped in fairly sturdy box. Unpacking and final assembly was a breeze, took about ten minutes to attach handle bars, pedals, saddle and front wheel, and just a couple more to make final adjustments. The best part is, it rides like a dream. Coming from a mountain bike back ground, but needing something for commuting and getting around town, I feel like this bike is perfect. Light weight, agile and sturdy, this is my new favorite bike.

The media could not be loaded.  Luckily I didn't have to walk 30 miles but this is unacceptable. I had to baby this bicycle home while it was making an irritating clunking sound and vibration. Now I must buy special tools to fix this. I will never buy another product from RALEIGH ever again. On top of that the tires are too thin and you will need to buy a tire liner otherwise you'll be getting punctures each ride.

I just put it together and the first thing i noticed was, the weight is nice and light. Will test try it soon, as of now, everything seems A_OK.

The bikes awesome rides amazingly. Only issue I had assembling it was that the front break rubs. I tried to adjust it and almost cut the tip of my finger off. I got careless my fault completely. If you don't usually do things yourself get the breaks adjusted by a professional
