The Mongoose Ardor and why it Sucks! (In stock form)

- My Ardor only lasted 1 mile! Buying a Walmart bike can be somewhat of a gamble. This time it did not pay off. I never even got to take it off road since the crank failed while riding on the road to the trail. I was expecting at least a safe bike...

In my opinion, it devalues the bike by having unqualified people assembling them at walmart.
Their floor models should always be at a reduced price simply for that reason.
I'd rather put it together myself.
Wow, glad you provided us with such a quick update.
It didn’t take long for it to fail 😂
I bought a Schwinn Al Comp for my girlfriend's birthday and we had to take it back because the pedal was cross threaded and CRANKED down, it took a large pair of vice grips for me to break it loose. Blame the store, not the bike! lol. I feel you on the groupset though, the pro rush stuff is garbage.
I feel the same about the pedal, assembly error
Tony take that junk back and pick up one the Giordanos from Walmart. You already have an Axum. The Giordano Valor or Intrepid look amazing and need some Tony Magic. I love your bike builds and would love to see what you do with one of those.
I’m trying to keep the costs down since it’s a temporary bike but I think I will give it a second chance. No Giordanos locally. Once I get back home I will turn the Ardor into a trail worthy bike.
mine was the same but i put it together and i still use the pedals on a different bike theyre rocker bros. its a flaw in the crank not build imo but i could have cross threaded by mistake but dont believe
I wonder if they rammed the left hand threaded pedal in the right-hand crank😣
Could be
maybe you took a decision on this bike because the sole chainring setup and the crank pedal thread failed immediately. this Scks
That stinks cause you bought it like less than 24 hrs ago?
Yep 😓
@@TonyHob by the way, Tony, when I first bought the boundary, i noticed that pro rush shifter is garbage. I couldn't click into 5th gear without massive amount of force. Every gear was fine, just 5th gear on the shifter. Called schwinn, they insisted it was my tuning....😏 yeah, like I don't know what I'm doing. Not a good groupset. It went straight back to walmart...😆
Seems like a good opportunity for a project, but in your case of wanting a bike to ride while out of town on work return it.
I might just order a crank from Amazon and the tools to pull this one
just bought a mongoose excursion.. what a piece of junk!!!! rode it home from the walmart.. total junk.. but I needed it to be able to travel to the nursing home my mom's in 20 miles away.. it takes over 61/2 hours walking, 11/2 hours riding! walked 7 miles friday, before gettin a ride..temp was 88 degrees..it bout killed me and Im 68 yrs old...takin the mongoose back!
Agree, the excursion is rough 😢
I would absolutely return that piece of crap and get the Schwinn
I already have an Axum but this Mongoose is absolutely crap and honestly over priced. With that said I plan on keeping it for the frame. I ordered a new crankset in the meantime so I can ride around here while on this work trip.
Dont buy cheap s@!+ huh...😂
😂 I have a carbon fiber FS bike at home. I can’t justify spending that much on a bike I am going to use while on a work assignment for 3 months before the snow kicks in. I go over the reasons in the first video. But you are right, in Spanish there’s a saying: “el que brega con mierda, siempre está cagado” 😂
