    Derailer

    Can’t get this derailer to work so it’s not working in the lower gears. Not as good of a bike as I was hoping for.

    Could be great

    Took about 3 weeks to arrive, assembly was easy and straightforward for me but my wife struggled. Gear shifter derailer in the rear appears to be made of plastic, in the sun it bends under the tension of shifting and pushes the chain off the gear.
