Reviews of the mountain bike Merida Big.Seven 40
Virtues
- New 2014. Popular abroad, now sold in our country in Russia Merida on wheels 27. Light frame, front wheel with eccentric (you can unscrew and safely carry in a sedan). The saddle is tight, adjustable, bottom screw (you can increase or decrease the distance to the steering wheel). Attachments - all Shimano Altus. The brakes are excellent, sensitive, hold well, work quickly. Fork with lock + adjustable fork stiffness.
disadvantages
- Specifically, this model is not explicit. There are some doubts about the durability of attachments (Altus is better than Tourney, but worse than Acera) Such shortcomings are inherent in all bikes - the lower right feather is scratched by a chain (exit to buy feather protection), the lower gear shift mechanism, where the pedal assembly is clogged (put the exit wing). So far, not all stores have cameras and tires of this size.
Comment
I personally chose this: firm Merida, 27th wheels, hydraulic brakes. Everything else is already a budget - what equipment equipment. You can choose the steeper: another attachment, another fork, brakes. For 18 000 rubles (by reservation) - this is a good value for money. On the wheels are nipples, so that not every pump you pump.

Virtues
- Easy, big, beautiful, fast
disadvantages
- Really very hard seat, I think that this is a matter of habit, but if not, then change it.
- IMPORTANT! - The non-standard design of the cross-pin, more precisely, the laying of the cable on it, which is why not all the mounts of the children's bicycle chairs stand, my own (mizumi SW-BC137) does not fit as it turned out, so be careful. The lack of steps in the kit (a trifle of course, but could put in the database)
Comment
After 15 years since the last ride on my own bike (gum or stork, I don’t remember already) I bought myself a bike for rides with my wife and child. Very nice bike, it is clear that quality and I hope reliable.Despite its size (and it is not small) the weight is very normal. Painted cool - matte paint, though I think that it will scratch hard, but without it all the same it will not do. Speeds switch clearly without jerks, at least on a straight, very good reel, wide steering wheel. I didn’t notice much difference, to be honest, in hydraulic or mechanical disc brakes, they have the same response, braking efficiency too, except that the pressing force (or rather stroke) of the brake lever is different, the stroke is shorter in hydraulics. I cite all comparisons based on riding a big wife (stels miss).
PS: After several weeks: I am not used to the saddle, it is impossible to get used to it))) Opinion about the bike is still positive, the only thing that I noticed was the rare appearance of cod on medium gears, it goes by several switches, the brakes work well, but it seems to me which is a bit noisy.

Comment
I bought it for 18,000, I think this bike has the best price-performance ratio, I first wanted to buy it with 26 wheels, then I thought about 29, but I found a compromise and have no regrets, the hydraulics work fine, but there was a problem with the brakes, the front pads rubbed on the rotor, the joint fixed on the service, the bike looks very cool, do not even compare with stealth and other garbage, I advise! you will not regret, my height is 183 cm., the frame of 18.5 inches fit perfectly, keep in mind that bicycles on 27.5 wheels need to take the frame a little less than recommended for sizes.

Comment
Brought from the online store late in the evening. When buying, I did not notice the torn shirt on the rear switches. I brought it to the workshop - they changed it.
Also constantly rubbed discs on the pads. Twice drove to the studio. Bend the wheels. Now practically do not rub.
As experience has shown, a more expensive bicycle — these problems should not exist.
Experience has shown that a 20 inch frame on wheels of 27.5 with a height of 183 cm is too much.
Be careful before buying.

- I have nothing to compare with - this is my first normal bicycle, because everything that I do not consider to be disadvantages I shall attribute to advantages.
disadvantages
- MB deal in the pads or the rotor (I did not understand), but the brakes are not strong. Normal brakes, I imagine those who can enter the wheel in the skid. With the rear brake, you can (this is understandable), but the front brake is not enough - you should not stop quickly in front of a sudden obstacle. Fork: suitable for unhurried skating, but if you ride beautifully, jumping on curbs without breaking down on the bumps, it breaks quickly.
Comment
Chose between 40MD and 40D. People said that hydraulics should be taken. In vain listened, it is better to take the mechanics (still suck hydraulics) cheaper and replace the brakes with better hydraulic ones. I replaced it with Avid elixir 5 and that’s another thing.
Addition: Ride year. Fork lyuftit- master said that these are not serviced (they say disposable), the normal cost is 15k. I do not drive a fork, because The quality of the plug matches the value of the bike. In places where the cables touch the frame, the paint was worn off; it was necessary to stick the sticker
