B'Twin 500 - Pros & Cons

comfort
performance
reliability and affordability
ride feel is amazingly sprightly and its component parts are far better than average at this price
Very precise
rapid and robust design
Amazingly good for a bike at this price
Impressive value and performance
decent set of wheels and tyres and a collection of pretty good finishing kit
impressive value and performance
handles well and shifts easily through gears
sensible 25c tyres and cockpit layout
the ride is brilliant
very effective stopping power yet are straightforward to maintain
Ride comfortably thanks to the seated position typical of roadsters
The best displays were clear and easy to read
strong
durable
good toughness
smooth surface finish and is resistant from corrosion
is extensively used and offers medium to high strength
gears and shifters are absolutely fantastic at this price point
Lighter materials are great for bringing down the overall weight
The wheelset strength has been improved
quite easy to live with these shorts as casual wear
thoughtful touches like the buttons for liner shorts
reliable
cheap
decent road bike
remarkably smooth over the tarmac and can go at half-decent lick

Only the wheels felt a little clunky at times on rough roads
any part of the bike feel too stiff or too flexible
it looks way too cheap to be without gremlins
any toe-clip overlap with the front wheel
drivetrain and wheel parts are much more likely to wear fast than on a higher specification
B'Twin is perhaps a little unfair
Frustrating
The rear ratchet retention system is crude
a little clunky and sticky
Decathlon Bikes So Cheap
cheap carbon is not going to offer a comfortable ride
folding electric bikesWhen you click on a retailer link
worst were cumbersome and fiddly
Some batteries easily slipped in and out of their holder
too heavy and bulky to be practical for commuting
Battery capacity reduces over time
brakes wear down
these two bikes are not the same
slightly odd sizing on these shorts
no rear pockets
few tiny areas where the threads got worked off their stitches
