I installed a xt brake lever and it was a whole lot better. Bike has a nice light frame. Good for racing. Hope you choose to buy one. It responds excellently and is very reasonably priced.
Bike is very lite and responsive.
The rims bend way to easy when jumping, and the bars slip forward alot. Not good for jumping though. So lite it is hard to feel in the air. The Schwinn pro stock 2 is a terrific bike for racing. It coms wiht a 21 in.
