The bikes arrived (Stunner series) on time and with no issue. Until I went to assemble the remaining parts of the bike. The ST6 went fine. No problem.
But the SO6 was a different matter. It started out with the pedals. It appears they must have been dropped on a concrete floor as the threads were damaged. I was able, since I have a full metal shop, to fix the threads by re tapping them.
I went over the entire bike for loose bolts etc and all seemed fine. I did not check the bolt for the stand as the bike was leaning on it. Then, yesterday (June 28) I noticed the stand appeared loose. I had not noticed before as I will put the stand up and put it down. So of course there was movement. But this was not the case.
Whomever, at Biktrix, who put it together had cross threaded it in. When I finally (after much effort) was able to get the bolt out there was metal debris from the cross threading on the bolt and on the threads on the stand portion. I had to clean both of them off, then carefully re-thread both the bolt and the threads on the stand. Now the bolt could be manually threaded into the stand. Re-assembly was fine. But this should not have happened. Whomever put it together could not have missed the fact it was very very hard to turn when tightening and was loose after installation.
The bikes work fine. Are fun to ride and now function as expected. But I did go fully over both bikes again checking every single last nut and both for cross threading, improper installation etc.
