SixSixOne Comp Shifted Helmet (White/Black, Medium)
The Comp II helmet was designed with the entry-level gravity rider in mind, with its lightweight polycarbonate shell plus Panorama Eyeport, and aggressive venting channels. All helping to keep the rider confident in pushing their limits without pushing their wallet.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Solid Helmet
Check the SixSixOne website for head measurements to get the right size. Mine felt tight at first, but now that the padding has broke in it fits perfectly snug.

Helmet has lots of visibility. Very comfortable. Vents help cool it off when moving. The mouthpiece ventilates pretty well too.

I've used the Bell Drop and this helmet fits more comfortably on my head, doesn't get as hot, and looks/feels way less bulky.

Overall an awesome helmet, and it looks badass. Haven't fallen on it yet, but the specs check out pretty well so I trust it'll work.

Great lid for the money
Pros: Great helmet for the money. Not terribly hot, very comfortable, stays put. Not too heavy. Comes with a carry bag.
Cons: Double-D Ring closure, not quick release. Will stay put but a pain to get off quickly. No fit adjustment or extra pads.

A note on fit - it is rounder than the fit of Giro (at least for XC/trail helmets) and does NOT come with any foam to dial in the fit. Nor does it have an adjustable fit system - not that you'd expect one at this price. I used 4 pieces of foam (2 side, 2 rear) from a Giro helmet to dial in the fit, and it worked great.

The double-d ring closure can be annoying, it doesn't come off (or back on) fast. I'd usually just loosen it up all the way, which would allow me to take the helmet off and toss it back on my head with the chin strap pushed up into the helmet. It did mean I needed to pull the helmet off completely every time I wanted it off my face, which was a bit annoying.

Overall though, great helmet...
Good helmet.
Great helmet for a great price. Comfortable, lightweight, and I've personally tested it's impact absorption capacity. The fact that I am still here, is a testament to this product :D

Great
I have been riding and racing for 28 years. If you are expecting a $1000 wheel set, these aren't. But these are what I would expect for $350-$500. I bought these for my son. They were about 1mm out of true, and the bearings were just a bit too tight. Only took a few minutes to adjust to near perfect. They were however nearly perfectly round. This was a very pleasant surprise. For the price, you will have a very difficult time finding something better. My son rides to and from work every day on these. Should there be any complications, I'll follow-up here. BTW, the out of true could certainly have been cause by UPS. :)

A good bike for the price
This bike has a 6061 aircraft quality aluminum frame with aluminum alloy for forks and a alloy steel rear triangle. Easy assembly with basic hand tools within 30 minutes. you will need a tire pump since the tires are only partially filled at the factory. The shifters needed some adjustment to get in the correct gear which was easy. The bike features quick release hubs, (front and rear), a quick release seat post and thumb styles shifters. The bike has a very smooth ride compared to a traditional hard frame and could be even smoother if the tires were switched to comfort style tires but that would limit the bike to paved surfaces. My son who is more of an avid rider that myself said this bike was better than his Diamondback Outlook.
Overall, if you are looking for an entry to mid level bike that is better than the run of the mill department store stuff. this might be your bike especially during the August clearance sale when they change year models/colors. The free shipping and...

Great bike and I can prove it!!!!!!
I bought 2004 model (same but red/white color). It was on clearance at Amazon for $229.00 total. I used it on the bike lane beside my house with the kids. With the gas sky rocketing I decided to carpool, so started to bike 1 1/2 each way to the subway station to meet my ride and lock my bike with heavy duty cable. There are about 50 to 100 bikes chained to serires of posts. The bike was great. Shifts were smooth, the dual suspension makes you feel that you are riding on air. After couple month my bike was stolen. From all the bike, some were better than mine with less thicker cable, the ..... choose my bike. I was dsapointed, espacially I was enjoying the ride and the smootheness of the bike. Now I'm using my old bike which no one will take even if I left it unlocked. I bought a new Master Lock Street Cuff and a very thick chain (both with warranties to replace the bike if the lock was broken).

Now, I'm waiting for my birthday in August and hoping the bike will go on sale...
Exactly as advertised
This bicycle is exactly as advertised. Assembly took about 30 minutes and I was up and running. The rear gears needed some slight adjusting, then everything worked great. For the price, this is a good bicycle. The one drawback is that it is quite heavy. Other than that I have no complaints.

Diamondback 2013 Recoil Comp 29'er Full Suspension Mountain Bike with 29-Inch Wheels  (Black, 18-Inch/Medium)
What is a Recoil? The dictionary defines recoil as "to spring or come back; react." The Diamondback Recoil takes that definition to heart. Whether it is flying down the wide open trail or making its way through twisty tight single track, the Recoil 29 will react to what is under its tires and then spring back and be ready to take on what comes next. What’s next?: 29ers. The larger diameter wheel is taking over, and with good reason. The Recoil 29 is the perfect beginner bike for those just getting into aggressive riding or those who are looking for an entry level full suspension rig. It was built with a solid platform in mind and is fully upgradeable should you so choose to step up your component package to the next level. Larger wheels are not the only goodies on this beast, We've added a SR XCT 100mm travel fork w/external preload adj. The Shimano SL-M310 Rapidfire 8-speed shifters control an Altus front and an Acera rear derailleur and the HG31 8spd Cassette (11-32t) combined with the SR Suntour XCC T202 crankset ( 24/34/42t) give you 24 mountain crushing gears to choose from. The Tektro Novela mechanical disc brakes with 6" rotors will provide all of the breaking power that you’ll need and the Weinmann SL-7 Doublewall wheelset will provide a tough and stable platform for your bike to roll on. Diamondbacks signature alloy AL6061 Ahead stem and SL318b oversized Mid Rise handlebar create the perfect cock pit while the SL309p Alloy Micro Adjust 30.9mm post and WTB VOLT Sport SE saddle ensure that you can pedal all day long. The 2013 Recoil 29 comes in a stealthy black/red and is available in sizes: SM (16"), MD (18"), LG (20")

Diamondback 2013 Recoil Comp 29'er
Love this bike! I think it's the best higher-end entry level bike on the market for the money. I've taken it on some pretty technical single track rides now, and I'm loving it!! If you're considering getting into mountain riding, and you want a solid bike to get you where you wanna go for a good 5 years.....this is the bike...

Schwinn Rocket Comp Adult Dual-Suspension Mountain Bike (26-Inch Frame)
With 5" of suspension travel, mechanical disc brakes and a Shimano Deore 24-speed drivetrain the Rocket Comp is great for all-mountain excursions.

Left Crank Became Loose
I've had this bike for a few months now. I mostly use it to take 10 mile treks on dirt roads in the Florida Everglades. Only guessing but I probably have near 100 miles on this bike. On my last trip the left crank nearly fell off. I'm glad I recognized the looseness before I lost the nut as I was 6 miles in from the road. I read elsewhere that the Truvativ Isoflow drivetrain on this bike is notorious for its left crank becoming loose.

For the rest of the bike, it has been holding up well. There are two pre-threaded holes on the lower part of the frame for an accessory attachment which I have used for a water bottle. I wished they would have provided another pair of holes on the upper part of the frame for an additional accessory.

Update 8/23/09: There was a clamp in the box that I did not realize until now that it goes under seat and pairs up with the height adjustment clamp to provide two attachment points for another accessory. Once attached the seat is no...

Pros: Great components for the price Cons: Heavy
For the quality components that this bike has: 7005 aluminum frame, Hayes Disc brakes, Fox Vanilla rear suspention, Manitou Axel comp 120mm, Shimano LX and Acera, and the truvative cranks, the price cannot be beat! The suspension is very smooth and provides a great ride over rocks and bumps. I love to use the bike for light downhill riding at the Sundance resort in Utah, and short cross country trips up on the Bonneville Shoreline trail. To add to my love for this bike is the Geometry. The bike does not bob like other full suspension bikes, which is important for a more enjoyable uphill riding experience when you need to throw your weight into your pedaling.

The only downside to this bike is its weight. It is a heavier bike, but when you consider it has 120mm (5 inches) of travel it seems a little bit easier to over look it. I think it weighs around 35 pounds. Names like Specialized and Gary Fisher may sell a similar bike that weighs around 24-28 lbs with similar...
Bad deal overall.
I bought this bike mainly because it had good reviews and it's wasn't too expensive. I made a mistake in doing so. When the bike arrived it looked great. After 50 miles of use and the left crank(peddle arm), fell off because the screw fell out. I put it back together making sure the screw was tight, but it keeps falling out every 20 miles or so. The gears on the bike don't switch smoothly and the front gear won't switch to first and the back gear won't switch to eight. The other parts seem ok. Barely rideable though.
