Recall of Cranbrooks

Probably one of the assemblers under/overtightened a stem bolt, and a rider who expects a complete, ready bike, went down hard, suing Walmart.

A lot of Walmart bikes work pretty well for knock-off stuff with low end, old tech. parts. But you have to go over every single bolt, axle, nut, and bearing with these things. They are thrown together for low wages, and the generous return policy allows them to get away with it.
