One review had concerns abou the constrction of the pedals. I need something sturdy, but not tour grade. What are owners' experiences?

I've now had 2 of these and have begun to agree that it's a little too light-weight for a traveling or gigging musician. If you're gonna use it around the house it's fine.

I wish there was a little more resistance in the pedal up and down movement. The unit is light weight, and made of plastic, but I've given it a lot of pounding without any trouble. And dropped it a couple of times.

I gig with mine at least twice a month. I am on my second as the usb power connection broke inside the pedal. They replaced it for the cost of shipping. Now I unplug it before I store my Pedal board.

I would not call them tour grade. But for the price, they should hold up okay. The only other blue-tooth pedals I'm familiar cost 50-70% more.

I've had no problem with my board, it was amazing.. I absolutely fell in love with my board.. Best thing I've ever hard for commuting place to place.. Bearing are awesome, it basically glides on the road..

Its a tough pedal. I live on an island so, there is really not much in the way of hills but, even small/short hills can be somewhat tough.

My recollection is that there is no wrench included. They seem to be very high-quality (if heavy), durable pedals. No problems so far with just several weeks usage. I'm about 200 lbs and go up some moderate hills.

Depends on how long you plan on using it. My weight is 128 lb, and I have been using the bike 2-3 times a week for just over 8 months. I pedal standing up as part of my routine. Everything worked fine until about a month ago. First a pedal broke -- the plastic cracked on both sides where the strap is attached to the pedal. Then the tension control, after getting tougher and tougher to tighten for a while, finally stopped working altogether.This is probably too much info. The point is it's a fine bike but it ages really fast.

If the 300 came with these pedals, I would have bought it. Another major deciding factor was that I got this one around Christmas for only $50 more than the 300. Had it been full price i would have bought the 300 and purchased these pedals(if that's possible).. Hope this helped

I think now, the blue one is single speed alloy pedal breaks. Now, they have a silver one (just search victory touring and scroll down) that is alluminum (used to be heavy steel), 6 speed, handle breaks.Either way, they frame is the same - beautiful but awkward to fit on a car bike rack. There is a price difference, so that may be a factor

Sorry to hear that. However, I'm not the seller. I bought the same bike and its in great condition. No problems with the pedals.

I think it should be fine, it has a adjustable seat height. I like the bike, You can adjust the tension to regulate how hard it is to pedal. It's a nice bike for the price. Don't expect a expensive one, but it works fine, if you use it.

go with a different company, my tires have each blown out, the pedals stripped the cheap threads on the cranks. and honestly I'm affraid the entire frame might just explode. The cranks aren't under warranty either by the way.

It is very sturdy. A couple of thing to know, forts it a bit hard for my five ft two self to get on the seat. The set had to be high enough for me to comfortably pedal. Next, as the other reviews state it is a real bugger to get together. Also, mine came with minor scratches. I did not worry about them. I do really like it.

Not bad but it also depends on what kind of seat you put on it. Ps this is not a mountain bike so dont expect to ram into the side walk without getting scrambled balls. No shocks here just a stiff ride which allows you to pedal and not lose momentum

I haven't had such an issue. However, I would advise using every trick in the book available before you open up the casing of the front wheel. It doesn't look it would withstand an open heart operation.I would start by using the pedals in reverse, checking if there are any external obstacles, etc.

We have a bunch of these in my office and most people have road bikes. We been using them for years and I've never heard of anyone having an issue. My 40lb schwin seems hasn't had any issues in 2 years.

I traded this bike in for a better model. After my 4 star review, the pedal cracked and I had to replace it ( 1 weight 180 lbs). I sold the bike to a friend and bought the higher end model used at the gym. I am very happy I did. These bikes weight 100 lbs (give or take) but I suggest getting the higher end model. I had no problem with shipping because it was included in the price. Assembly was not a problem. Updgrade to the higher in bike like I did.

Mine was dead on arrival. Support was awful. Expect that if they don't work off the bat, they likely won't work at all. The pedals are usually run through the simulator anyway , so if you are using plane, you are likely good to go.

I would recommend a higher end bike for competition. This is a good starter bike and it is great for exercise or recreation, but it is simply not on par with Shimano or Fuji. It will do in a pinch, but I is not ideal.
