The assembly is one of the most important aspects of a bike. More important then the brand or even parts on the bike. When an assembly is done on a bike at The Bike Stand which ever it is, a low end mountain bike or a high end road bike the same attention to detail is the number one priority. As a consumer you can see the difference for yourself. Just go in to any bike shop and ask to see how a quick release works on a bike ask on a bike in the 3 to 4 hundred price range that you pick out and when they take the wheel off ask to see the wheel then just turn the axle on the hub. It is that simple. If it feels gritty the hub was not adjusted if a thing as simple as that is not done do you think any thing else will be?
